i think toprank will think twice of letting jones fight brook.Jones showed
his inexperience.In matter of fact,I think karass should fight brook next.

i hear you. Mike obviously looked like **** but i Think brook should still be a viable option. He fought an idiots fight tonight, i doubt we'll see that again.

Jones lost EVERY round after round 2

i dont know who these damn judges were, but its obvious they had "special instructions"

I had a bet with a friend Jones would be given the decision, despite everyone in the room marveling at how Karass controlled the fight and landed more accurate punches.

hey, thats why boxing is a effing joke

Jones lost this fight in my opinion, showed his lack of experiance in round 2 why would you throw that many punches and punch yourself out like that?

Jones' people should have had hired the Calzaghe/Manfredo referee. That fight would have been stopped about 5 times in the 2nd round.

Mike blew his load in the 2nd....that let Karass in the fight IMO.....Mike made a real ****** mistake in that 2nd round.....he got excited and went crazy....but hey, fighting on HBO PPV under the brightest lights he's been under can do that to young fighters....Mike literally fought MOST of the fight with no legs...AFTER Mike found himself again, he picked Karass apart and left me with the impression that if not for that wild ass 2nd round.....he beats the **** outta Karass....I don't remember the scores....all I know is that one of them was way way off....maybe courtesy of Arum's check book!!

Agreed... I still though MJ won by 2 rounds, 96-94...

This was a robbery. Soto chased that monkey most of the fight. He showed the Mexican heart by receiving alot of punches in round 2, yet he didnīt hug !!!!!

Another robbery for a foreign Latino. Last week was Mathysse from Argentina, now Soto from Mexico. Itīs racism towards foreign people.

That's almost exactly how I saw it, and good point about the big occasion.

It's hardly a problem, and unlikely to happen again, although most guys learn not to blow themselves out within their first few amateur fight's, even 3-rounders.

Maybe Karass wasn't as badly hurt as he thought, but they will have done their homework, so they shoulda known that he's one tough sob.

Either way, Jones loaded up on well over 100 punches in that salvo, which is unjustifiable. Karass couldn't have been that hurt or you woulda had him out of there by the 20th punch. And Karass never stopped punching back, he did a great job of keeping himself in that fight.

But you could see when Miike got his second wind late in the fight he started to take control.

That fight was his opportunity to look good, and he blew it.

Well done Mike for finishing the fight with no legs, and for edging your way back into the fight late after Karass controlled a lot of the earlier rounds.

Mike learnt a lucky lesson, but he lost that fight and I'm sure he is aware of that. Bad luck for Karass. Boxing, what a ****ty way to make a living
