14. I didn't like the stoppage, but I can see where the ref was coming from.

To me, it was clear that Braithwaite could still defend himself. He was slipping the punches that Jones was throwing at the end of his flurry. A fighter out on his feet would not be able to slip punches.
At the same time, however, if a ref says "show me something" then you better start throwing punches. So i could see how it could go either way. A great win for Jones, who looks to have IBF champ O'Neil bell in his future.

Did you see Jones collapse after the stoppage? At first I thought it was serious, but it was 'only' a cramp. I put only in quotation marks because to anyone who has had a cramp will feel like it was serious.
