Jones took control half way through and then didn't let up, doing MASSIVE damage and finishing the fight at the last second. Tito would have had a good recovery, so round 2 would have been interesting. I am sure he and his camp will be all over the "early stoppage" button here. TKOs at the 5 min mark are bad news.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
