The 32-year-old Apochi, who now trains with renowned coach Ronnie Shields in Texas, dropped Jones for a nine count with a left hook late in round one. He moved his bruising attack downstairs in round two, hurting Jones with a left hook to the body before dropping him with a huge right hand for another nine count, late in round two.
However, moving in for the kill, Apochi was briefly shaken by a surprising Jones right hand that allowed him to last through the round.
The respite was brief, however, as early in round three, Apochi and Jones collided heads and Jones folded to the canvas holding his head. Jones rose before being counted out but failed to answer referee Thomas Taylor’s follow-up questions adequately. Taylor waved the one-sided fight over as a TKO 3 for the Nigerian slugger.
Apochi threw 150 and landed 38 of his punches. Jones threw 82, but only landed 17.
