Brian Rose Furious With Ref: I Demand Jones Rematch!

•Feb 14, 2015

Brian Rose insists the referee didn't give him a chance to recover before stopping his fight with Carson Jones on Saturday night. The Blackpool light-middleweight was beaten inside the opening round by Jones after referee Ian John-Lewis prevented him taking any more punishment. Rose, who staggered but never fell, claims the stoppage was too early particularly since Jones had already benefited from the referee's leniency after getting hurt.

Carson Jones Shocks Brian Rose, First Round TKO

By Alexey Sukachev - Winter Gardens, Blackpool, Lancashire - A suspect stoppage can strike right back to you in the UK! Known for their barely justified stoppages in both international and domestic contests (most notable recent example being a TKO in the Chisora vs. Scott showdown), British referees can sometimes hurt their own compatriots as well. That was exactly what has happened in an important light middleweight contest between comebacking Brit Brian Rose and American gatekeeper Carson Jones for the vacant WBC International title. Jones stopped Rose in 2:36 of the first round, but the "star" of the night undeniably was local referee Ian John-Lewis. Rose, 29, was fighting for the second time since a stoppage loss in a fight for the vacant WBO crown against Demetrius Andrade. Jones, 28, on the other hand, was just one bout removed from his own stoppage loss to future IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook, also in the UK. Jones gave hell to Brook in their first fight in July 2012, however.

Jones gave Brook a real scare in their first fight, breaking the Sheffield star’s nose before losing a majority decision in 2012, but was stopped inside eight rounds when they met in a rematch the following year.

WBO #15 light middleweight Brian Rose (26-2-1, 8 KOs) came back to the ring for the first time since his deceiving effort in a title shot against Demetrius Andrade this June and completely annihilated Argentinean journeyman Ignacio Lucero Fraga (11-8-3, 5 KOs) in the first round. Fraga was down three times - each time after another right hand by Rose, but some of them weren't particularly clean, landing also at the back of the Argentinean's head. However, Rose was much better than his opponent as the referee saw enough and waved it off at 2:58 after the third knockdown.
