    About time Jones finally gets a belt. He beat a champion 3 different times and never won a title.

    i didn't see this coming. i'm no arslan fan, especially not style-wise. but i was certain jones couldn't hang with him for that many rounds. i expected arslan to just figure him out and outpoint him. the whole dilemma started in the first rounds with jones' uppercut always slipping through and damaging arslan. he then whirled his elbows a bit and tried adjusting, but he wasn't too successful with it. after a while his confidence was completely gone and jones delivered fists from all directions. it was only a matter of his will and conditioning by that point of time, and the german judges as i didn't expect a knockout. so in the end it was quite a surprise still, despite jones being the clearly better boxer.

    I guess this goes to show that being built like a tank doesn't mean you can endure punches like one. Heh.
