Carson Jones Dean Byrne draw

[any craic lad?]

Former Kell Brook foe Carson Jones is still awaiting his first victory on British soil after the American fought out a pulsating draw with tough Irishman Dean Byrne at the Olympia in London.

After a bright start, Oklahoma-born Jones looked in control of a close contest at times, but ultimately allowed late replacement Byrne back into the fight in the final couple of rounds to see the bout scored 76-76.

The 26 year-old had hoped to reschedule his original contest with former British champion Lee Purdy for the spring, but may now find himself travelling back to the UK for another bout with ‘Irish Lighting’ next year.

Incredible result for Dean who only came in late too replace Lee Purdy

I missed this, was it fair scoring?

The TV guys had Carson winning, there were no judges only a Ref scoring, and Byrne came to stay on the back foot all night.

They're looking at doing the Jones-Purdy fight in March.

Oklahoma in the house!

I'm watching it now (gutted I have found out the result) & Byrne is boxing well so far.

[Mr Ehrmantraut]

Screw job?.

General consensus is it perhaps should have gone to Byrne.

I'm 99% certain that the person that posted that hadn't watch the fight

[Evil Abed]

It was a draw or one point to Carson.

Close fight. Carson fought a very unmotivated fight.
