Carson Jones (born August 19, 1986 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma) is an American professional boxer at welterweight and is the reigning USBA welterweight champion (June 11, 2011). He was also the former NABA light-middle weight champion (April 22, 2010), the former WBC Continental Americas light-middle weight champion (May 7, 2009), and the former NABA USA light middleweight champion (April 18, 2008). Nicknamed 'Mr. Jones', he achieved his highest ranking in May 2012, when he was placed as the #4 rated welterweight in the wold by the IBF.
Carson Jones began his professional career on October 5, 2004 with a TKO win over Sheldon Mosley at the young age of 18. Starting in the light-middle weight division he would go on to earn a record of 23-7-1(15 KOs) by the end of 2009. He credits his early losses to his previous management throwing him in the ring prematurely. For losses, it should be noted that by the end of 2009, his opposition’s combined recorded was 102-19-8. His first lost came by way of unanimous decision to Favio Media (7-1-2) to whom he had previously fought to a draw.
After turning age 20 a little more than two weeks prior, Jones fought Alfonso Gomez at the ARCO Arena in Sacramento, CA. on August 25, 2006. Throughout the match Gomez aggressively pressured an outmatched Jones, eventually winning a premature and controversial stoppage in the eighth and final round. Jones was clearly unharmed and able to continue defending himself but the referee declared a TKO.
On February 6, 2009 Jones fought Karass at the Maywood Activity Center in Maywood, CA. Although Karass scored two knockdowns in the 3rd round, the fight was highly competitive. Karass would win by unanimous decision although being deducted one point for hitting Jones in the back of the head.
