"I knew he was a gritty guy who came from Puerto Rico to fight me in Las Vegas," explained Brock, who added the NABA USA title to his growing collection that already had included the WBC US lightweight strap. "I was having fun, enjoying myself. I had to pick up stuff working with Roy and some rubbed off on me. With Roy's help, my confidence was built up and I learned techniques, especially with my hand-and-feet coordination. I found what I learned was more effective." Jones was calm in Brock's corner throughout the fight. "I'm always calm in the corner to get the best out of the fighter," Jones noted. "To do that I need to remain calm."
