By Jake Donovan - There was never a doubt in Carson Jones’ mind that victory would prevail against former amateur standout Ricardo Williams Jr. earlier this month. He just needed the win to validate his newfound glory as a welterweight contender after a career spent being viewed as everyone else’s steppingstone.
The moment of truth came on December 15, when Jones overcame a rough early going to settle down and eventually stop Williams Jr in four rounds in his hometown of Oklahoma City. He became the first person to stop the 2000 Olympic Silver medalist, and most likely permanently sending the troubled welterweight’s career into a tailspin in the process.
With the win, Jones is now in prime position to take his career to the next level.
