Mike Jones?

Post by diddy »

What ever happened to this dude? Feels like he retired at like 28. I remember when he got epically shocked by Jaime Herrera as a -5000 favorite. He hasn't fought since. Very odd.

He was Ryota Murata's sparring partner a little while back, I think circa 2015 or 16. That's last I've heard from him.

Bailey essentially ended his career.

I hated to see him retire. He beat Karass twice, was a tall rangy guy with good skills. He lost two fights when he was ahead. A KO loss to Baily being well ahead, and Herrera who was almost done, then a headbutt & cut changed the fight. Too bad, he seemed like he had great potential.

I think that he made the right choice. He simply did not have the chin to accomplish his goals. Kudos to Jones for recognizing it and moving on with his life before absorbing serious damage.

Was overrated.

Lucky to get the nod against journeyman Soto Karass the first time out.

His power was nothing special. Afraid to get hit.

He was pretty ordinary.

Jonoes looked like the real deal for a while. Good technical skills, almost looked like a throwback version of Joe Louis. Apparently he didn't have a good jaw. Liked him a lot but it turned out he was overrated.

He was another Great Black Hope bum.

Bob Arum and loads of his black fanboys were saying he was gonna beat Pacqauio and was the future of the 147 division :lol: :lol: :lol:
