Soto Karass vs. Jones I, II

Jesús lost to Mike Jones on the undercard of Margarito vs. Pacquiao in Arlington, Texas on November 13, 2010. This fight was a huge controversy after the fight when the decision was ruled in favor of Mike Jones after a hard fought battle which saw Mike Jones become exhausted after the second round due to an attempt at finishing the fight. A rematch for this fight happened on February 19, 2011, with Karass losing a convincing fight holding his side.[4]

gollark: Apparently there are still four "giannis"es.
gollark: I mostly only use my phone for occasionally taking bad photographs of things and photographing documents, so in my endless search for a new phone (hopefully finishing that tomorrow...) I mostly just ignore cameras.
gollark: I mean, if you care a lot about photography, than obviously buying a phone with good cameras is smart.
gollark: I had a phone with almost identical specs about four years back and it worked *fine*.
gollark: > like the pinephone is just a generic piece of crap with slow CPU, almost no RAM, horrible camera, mediocre battery, etcI mean, it's basically raspberry-pi-level and the battery is standard for phones now, so meh.
