Jones said: "It's a shame I didn't get to the second half of the fight.
"It was getting close and I wanted to put my pressure on push him into deep waters.
"It didn't quite happen and I got caught with a shot."
Jones praised Bellotti but reckoned he could have given a better display in the rounds to come as the Bomber was starting to slow down.
"He's a good fighter, don't get me wrong, he can punch.
"From the second round he was starting to tire and was getting slower and I was ready to put him a position he wasn't comfortable in."
