Tim Cheatham had it 57-57! How!? Fortunately he was overruled by Byrd at 58-56 which is a little close and Cheek with a 59-55 card just like me.
Final thought. Had Jones winning this as a run away. Jones lost 14 days ago against Nikoloz Sekhniashvili by unanimous decision but he was near flawless tonight.
