By Chris Williams: Unbeaten welterweight contender Mike Jones (23-0, 18 KO’s) and Jesus Soto-Karass (24-5-3, 16 KO’s) will do it all over again on February 19th, when they square off once again to find out who the better fighter is at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Karass-Jones fight will be shown on the undercard of the bantamweight clash between WBC/WBO bantamweight champion Fernando Montiel and challenger Nonito Donaire.

Mike Jones and Soto-Karass to fight rematch on February 19th
By Dan Ambrose: Welterweight contender Jesus Soto-Karass (24-5-3, 16 KO’s) will be facing unbeaten Mike Jones (23-0, 18 KO’s) on February 19th in 2011, according to news from Dan Rafael of ESPN.
Mike Jones decisions Jesus Soto-Karass, but looks absolutely horrible
By Chris Williams: Unbeaten welterweight contender Mike Jones (23-0, 18 KO’s) looked horrible in defeating Jesus Soto-Karass (24-5-3, 16 KO’s) by a 10 round majority decision on Saturday night on the undercard of the Manny Pacquiao vs. Antonio Margarito fight at the Cowboys Stadium, in Arlington, Texas. The final judges’ scores were 94-92, 95-94, and 97-93. This was the co-main event and it was pushed up after Kelly Pavlik was injured while in training. Pavlik was supposed to be facing Bryan Vera. As it was, the Jones-Karass fight was a poor replacement for that fight, even though that fight was also a rather poor fight as well. However, tonight’s card has been filled with mostly mismatches and dull fights, so the Jones-Karass fight fit in nicely with what’s been shown thus far.
Mike Jones will beat Jesus Soto Karass on November 13th, but so what?
By Dan Ambrose: Unbeaten welterweight contender Mike Jones (22-0, 18 KO’s) faces fellow Top Rank contender Jesus Soto Karass (24-4-3, 16 KO’s) in as scheduled 10 round bout next month on the undercard of the Manny Pacquiao – Antonio Margarito bout at the Cowboys Stadium, in Arlington, Texas.
Kell Brook vs. Mike Jones in early 2011 for WBO welterweight title?
By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten American welterweight contender Mike Jones (22-0, 18 KO’s) could be facing undefeated British welterweight champion Kell Brook (22-0, 15 KO’s) in early 2011 for the interim World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight title, according to Dan Rafael. It’s a strong possibility that this fight happens as long as the 27-year-old Jones defeats Jesus Soto Karass on the undercard of the Manny Pacquiao vs. Antonio Margarito bout on November 13th at the Cowboys Stadium, in Arlington, Texas. If Jones wins that fight, which is highly likely given his huge size and power advantage over the weaker Karass, then the Brook-Jones fight is a strong possibility for 2011.
Mike Jones vs. Jesus Soto Karass added to Pacquiao-Margarito undercard
By Jason Kim: Undefeated welterweight contender Mike Jones (22-0, 18 KO’s) has been added to the December 11th Manny Pacquiao vs. Antonio Margarito undercard at the Cowboys Stadium, in Arlington, Texas. Jones, 27, will be matched against fellow Top Rank fighter Jesus Soto Karass (24-4-3, 16 KO’s) in a 10 round bout to bring some more excitement to what appears to be a card filled with a lot of mismatches. This fight likely be a mismatched as well, because Karass , ranked #8 WBC, 12 IBF, is a pretty limited fighter and was recently handled by Alfonso Gomez in a 6th round technical decision.
Pavlik, Mike Jones, and Rigondeaux could be on Pacquiao-Margarito undercard
By Chris Williams: Former WBC/WBO middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik (36-2, 32 KO’s) could be one of the big names on the undercard of the November 13th title fight between Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito at the Cowboys Stadium, in Arlington, Texas. Top Rank promoter Bob Arum is interested in putting together an impressive undercard for that fight and Pavlik is one of the names that could get a chance at this high visibility card. Besides Pavlik, there’s also a possible fight between unbeaten welterweight contender Mike Jones (22-0, 18 KO’s) and Jesus Soto Karrass (24-3-3, 16 KO’s).
