Stupendous 6s Round 1 Fight 28

Leroy Jones (level 5) (3-2-1 1) vs. Phil Jackson – Jackson opened nicely, but then was cut over the right eye by a Jones jab, and Leroy turned the round around, 9-5, moving nicely and landing a sweet uppercut. Jackson landed a sharp hook in the 2nd, but Jones was jabbing, rallying in the last minute, landing 14 jabs in all to steal the round, 11-8.

The 3rd round was a dull, defensive gem. Jackson got a ripping hook home late in the round to cinch it, 8-4. The Enforcer opened the 4th with a shot that surprised Jonesey, who dropped to the canvas! Leroy was back up at the count of 4, choosing to cover up. Jackson kept attacking, slipping a left home that cut Jones inside the right eye! The fight was halted, and Jackson was awarded a TKO on cuts at 1:39 of the 4th. The Jones camp was incensed, believing they could control and stop the bleeding, but the decision goes into the books. Both men landed 69 punches, at the same efficiency level. It was a bad break for Leroy Jones, as another level 5 fighter was sent home!
