    Jones Jr fighting Ezzard Charles.
    Both weighing in at 190lbs
    12 rounds (modern)
    Ref is one for quick breaks
    Who takes it?

    Jones by close decision, If he stays disciplined.
    Or Charles by close decision or late stoppage . That's if Jones slows or starts to trade.

    I'm leaning towards the second.

    Above 180 I’m favoring Charles.

    I always pondered this one. I slightly favor Charles but RJJ could be more than a match for him.
