I watched the fight, very good. Jones won 116 - 110, 117 - 109, 116 - 110.

He put Tito down in the 7th with a great right hand, and he also put him down in the latter stages but it was a flash knockdown. The first six rounds Tito was the better boxer, fought a stronger fight and was ahead, Jones spent too much time showboating and not enough time scoring shots. But he came out in the 7th and started to go to work, after that it was all Jones. His defensive game was very good and in the last half of the fight all Tito hit was gloves and air.

I think Jones could have put him away on a number of occassions, but to be honest he just looked like he was having too much fun. It certainly wasn't a classic performance, I know in his mind he still wants to believe he is the fighter he was 10 years ago, but thats not how life works. He is still great to watch though, and at 39 his speed and power are awesome. He now says he wants Calzaghe and will come to Wales to fight him, I'll sell my house to be at that fight!
