This kid is REALLY good and that was TERRIBLE job of MATCHMAKING!.Jones has got VERY good skills and showed a lot of toughness.A 19yr old had NO buieness in with a kid that good in 1st fight.You never know how a young kid is gonna take his VERY FIRST fight and to put him in with a 3 time nat champ in his country.I know the kid lost his last fight and was off 2 yrs but I know what I saw and that kid was good.Go back and just watch him you would think he was a prospect now he will be thrown to wolves and will have to work other job so we may never hear from him again but the kid has skills.You also cant compare him to Madrimov(who looked great and was matched tough)because he is 24 with 350+ fights who already went thru one fight(also wbss)and has his man strength.Any ways Jones has the skills to pay the bills and we now know hew is mentally strong(he got tired)and also takes a decent shot at least.He was very impressive imo.

I wash impressed by Jones. You could see he's a special talent even though it was his first fight.

He was a national champ in Georgia FFS. The top Georgian guy at his weight has a record of 47-49, doesn't seem like the deepest talent pool. Thread is from bizzaro world, a prospect makes his debut against a random who has never faced anyone with a winning record before and you're talking like he was thrown in the deep end. Apparently this one fight proves his chin, skill and mental strength are top level, really?

Apparently they gave Jones a choice of a few fighters, and this is the one he chose.
Who cares? he looked good out there, and it was better for him than a 1st round KO.
I'm just surprised he's choosing to fight at 135 when he was in the Am's at 140. The fact that he weighed in at 132 makes me think that they were seeing how he could possibly look at 130.
let's be honest though, Highlight of the fight was the confused ref shouting "HOW MANY ROUNDS IS THIS FIGHT?? DO THE JUDGES KNOW THIS?!?"Last edited by _Rexy_; 03-10-2019, 07:49 AM.
