\u201cA star was made tonight, and I hope I put a division on notice,\u201d Amari said of his victory after the fight. He placed on a show for the house crowd who drove from nearby Oakland to support Jones. He had been asking for the chance to headline within the Bay Area and delivered with a dominant performance.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s been on a gentle progression, staying undefeated and searching impressive in the method, sporting an 88.2 percent knockout percentage.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI made an announcement that needed to be made. I wanted to point out that me stopping Arias was no fluke and tonight I proved that against a well\u2026well experienced champion,\u201d Jones told Chris Mannix, after being asked to explain his performance Friday night.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
His promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, reiterated his dominant performance by saying, \u201cIncredible statement, the 160-pound world champions are on notice, and that world title goes back to Oakland.\u201d De La Hoya expects a championship fight for Jones later this 12 months.<\/p>\n
Whether that be for the IBF title or potentially against the opposite divisional champions stays to be seen. The division presently doesn\u2019t have any predominant champion and is open to any potential contender.<\/p>\n
Erislandy Lara is the WBA middleweight titleholder and presently doesn’t have a fight scheduled. He last defended his title against last-minute substitute Johan Gonzalez. Who stepped in for Janibek for PED violations? The match was to be a unification match with Lara. Alimkhanuly still holds the WBO title for now.<\/p>\n
Carlos Adames, the WBC middleweight title holder, made it known after his match against Austin Williams that he intends to maneuver as much as super middleweight but has yet to vacate the title.<\/p>\n
Amari appears to have greater than just the IBF option in reaching a championship match. When the chance comes, he have to be able to capitalize on it. He’s fortunate to have legendary trainer Vergil Hunter in his corner, who will ensure he is prepared when the time comes.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
