Interesting passage about the officiating in the Jones fight:
The simple truth is: This fight happened for one reason, and that was to make Jones look good. But Jones didn't look especially good. This, despite the fact that referee, Jerry Armstrong, continuously stopped the action, preventing Ajuma from even trying to stick with his game plan. As the fight went on, Ajuma actually started to re-apply the pressure in the later rounds, but each time he did so, Armstrong would jump in and stop the action - oftentimes when there was no holding. I doubt this would have made much of a difference in the outcome, but still - this was almost worse than what Jay Nady did to Ruiz when he essentially crippled "The Quiet Man" by not allowing him to fight his fight.
