In a light middleweight matchup, 'Kid' Carson Jones scored a third round stoppage of Tyrone 'The one' Brunson in an outcome that was anything but an upset. Jones came forward with an aggressive, nonstop attacking style for which Brunson (with 19 consecutive first round knockouts) had no answer. Brunson won the first two rounds behind a consistent left jab, with Jones looking to counterpunch while not providing a stationary target. In round three, Jones circled around Brunson before landing a damaging counter right hand lead over Brunson's left jab followed by a left hook that sent Brunson to the canvas for the first time in his career. Brunson beat the count at four, but appeared to be confused and went into a cover and did not throw any punches. Jones came forward and threw a nonstop barrage of damaging power punches from both hands, bringing Brunson's hands down. Referee Dr. James Jen-Kin finally stopped the bout at 2:39 of round three.
"I thought they stopped the fight too late. I was throwing (unanswered) punches forever. I threw a hundred punches and they still didn't stop it. The referee should have stopped it earlier," complained Jones.
