Berget loads up on a couple of big shots to the head that have Jones scrambling to escape. He can't get free though and several more unanswered shots from Berget land to the head. The referee has no choice but to stop the fight. Berget stands and salutes the crowd.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:46 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Evan Berget! Evan Berget retains his welterweight title!
In defeat, Van Jones stepped up to the mic, saying 'I really thought I would keep this standing and win. I apologize to my family, friends, fans and sponsors. I'll be back in the gym working harder than ever for a better result next time I'm in the cage.'.
