Carson Jones vows to expose Ben Hall's lack of experience with a humbling knockout defeat
Monday 21 November 2016 16:16, UK
Carson Jones has mocked Ben Hall's lack of experience and expects to ruin the youngster's unbeaten record at Wembley Arena.
The American is well known in Britain for his two battles with Kell Brook and revealed his surprise after being picked as an opponent for Hall on Saturday night, live on Sky Sports.

Jones was beaten twice by Brook, but gave the Sheffield man a serious scare before losing their first fight on points in 2012.
The Oklahoma man also holds a stoppage win over Brian Rose, who earned a decision win in their rematch, and Jones feels he has fought at a far higher level than Hall, a rising super-welterweight prospect.
"I've watched Ben fight and they've made a mistake choosing to fight me," said Jones. "Ben is a young kid that Matchroom Boxing are trying to build up, but he lacks the necessary experience to be in with someone as tough as me.
"I have more experience in my left pinky than he has in his whole body. I don't get paid by the hour so hopefully I will get him out of there early and make light work of him.
Abel bluntly told me that if I can't beat him, then I should go find something else to do
"When we were approached about this fight, I sat with Abel Sanchez and we discussed it. We both went away and watched some footage. Abel bluntly told me that if I can't beat him, then I should go find something else to do - as boxing is no longer for me.
"This is easily the most focused I've been for years, I feel so sharp and everything is on point."
Jones has added two stoppage wins since dropping that decision to Rose and is predicting another victory inside the distance.
"How this fight is gonna go? You guys know me - I always predict a stoppage," said Jones. "I've got more KOs than years he's been on this planet!
"If he survives my pressure and power early on, I'll take him in to deep water and it will be all over.
"But I'll take the win anyway it comes. If he is a tough kid with plenty of heart and there till the end - it still won't be enough as I will be the one getting my hand raised and getting the W!"
Ben Hall v Carson Jones is part of a busy Wembley Arena bill, which also includes the professional debut of Katie Taylor, Ohara Davies v Andrea Scarpa, Martin J Ward v Ronnie Clark, with live coverage starting at 8pm on Sky Sports 2.
