    The only definitive round for Jones was Round 2, Rounds 1, 8-10 were close, 3-7 were clearly Soto-Karass rounds. So if you give Jones every benefit of the doubt and give him a 10-8 for Round 2, then he won five rounds and wins 95-94. So he could have won the fight, but only if he was lucky enough to get all those benefits, which as the house fighter he got more than that on the 97-93 scorecard. A mini-robbery.

      I think I gave Jones three rounds.

        I gave him three from press row then watched it Sunday and gave him 4

        no 10-8 round at all SK came back nicely at the end of round 2 and had arguably won most of the round prior to Jones shooting his wad

        SK was bummed but mobbed by fans afterward

          I had it 6-4 for Soto Karass, a draw wouldn't have been a bad decision either...but I figured the judges were going to give the decision to Jones since he's the rising prospect

            Good for him. Always liked SK and honestly, he fought really well given the blood and that horrific second round. Jones, on the other hand...

              It wasn't close, Jones clearly lost.

                  Very clearly.

                  They should have a rematch.

                  I would favor MJ.

                  But Karass deserves another shot.

                  That flurry by jones was fun to watch.

                  But it was incredibly ******.

                    Agree,

                    I would also pick Jones to win the rematch.
