Oshae Jones retained the IBF junior middleweight championship against Elia Carranza after judges declared the fight a split draw at MVP Boxing 04 in Orlando. The fight was a rematch that followed Jones’ split-decision win against Carranza last July – but the reigning champion failed to achieve a more decisive outcome this time around. Jones (9-0-1, 3 KOs) landed 34 more punches than Carranza – 101 to her opponent’s 67 – but one judge scored the bout 96-94 to Carranza, with the other two judges
calling the fight 96-94 to Jones and 95-95 respectively. “I think I did great,” Jones said. “I could have stayed off the ropes more, but it is what it is.

into question – with Carranza now calling for a trilogy fight to settle the score once and for all. “You got to make it something that’s completely undeniable, and she did not do that tonight,” Carranza said. “I definitely think that there should be a trilogy. “I don’t want to deal with it no more either, but the reality is that you got to do it right, and you got to do it fair. So, I’m ready to run it back.” Brown stays undefeated with

Split draw?? Man I can’t even tell what the judges are watching half the time. If she landed more punches shouldn’t that be it?
Jones staying off the ropes smh. That quote makes it sound like she knew she didn’t win clean. Also Florida already?? just go on vacation and stop arguing.
96-94 96-94 95-95 like… that’s still basically a draw but also not? I feel like that 100-90 Carranza score is probably a typo or someone messed up the card. Trilogy fights are just how they make more money anyway.
Okay but Tiara Brown won too right? I’m confused because the headline is Jones and Carranza but then they talk about Brown and Delgado and Alegria all in one. Like did I just read the wrong article? Either way, Orlando judges sound wild.
