    Shocked Junior Jones to win the world title. Was he any good.

    He is fighting two weeks from today. I thought he was pretty good back then.

    Apparently, and this isn't his first recent fight. He owns a gym in San Antonio, at least he did as recently as May of 2017.
    Also, the guy he is fighting isn't too good. He fought and beat two guys that I know, both in their debut fights, I think.

    I remember watching this one on free TV. Everyone thought Jones was invincible, a future HOF'er, a bantam Thomas Hearns. And then, JMJ forgot the script. The only cliche proves right again... 'That is why they fight the fights'
