Jones must've really been trying to hide something pretty damn bad to flee the scene on foot

There was nothing rational about his thinking that day:

(1) Hits someone at intersection;
(2) Never checks on them;
(3) leaves the scene;
(4) Comes back to the scene to get money;
(5) leaves the scene with weed in the car;
(6) Never comes back.

I'd bet he was coked out of his mind - and in his coke fueled mind, he did what made sense to him - which for cokeheads is universally self preservation (or at least what they believe to be self-preservation).

We will see him again though, the same way we saw Strawberry and Doc Gooden again. He is too talented and there is too much money for that not to happen.

Having said that, he is so talented, I could see him winning a belt again - even if he never really kicks his coke habit. He will, however, never be what he could have been.

I also bet he never fights at 205 again. He will end up coming back as a heavyweight sometime in mid to late 2016.
