How many of u guys watched that Roy jones fight last night??, talk about being lucky, there was no way he WON that fight, that guy was all over him, hit him with more punches, yet the judges gave all the rounds to Roy Jones. 
The roy Jones fight!!!
- Thread starter lonbwoy
- Start date
I saw it. I was rooting for Tarver, but I thought that the scoring was accurate. Tarver just didn't do enough scoring in some of the rounds, but I agree that Jones got the worst of it. I thought that the judge that had it 116-112 was right.
I watched it. I thought Roy was a bit off all night and Tarver fought the fight of his life. That said, I think Roy did enough to win a majority of the rounds and the judges decisions were fair. You have to remember that Tarver's flurries when Roy was against the ropes may have looked impressive, but not many of those punches actually connected and Roy was dropping his gloves to let the judges and audience know that he wasn't being phased by Tarver's best.
Roy himself said that he was only about 70% going into the fight and that the fact that he had to drop 25lbs to make his weight had taken alot out of him.

Roy needs a challenge.... I don't think he can get up for these type of fights.
Apparently, a Mike Tyson fight might be on the cards.....
Freak show if you ask me.

Can't see why Roy would do it unless there was a massive pay day involved. He'd have to re-gain 25lbs of weight he lost for the Tarver fight. He also hinted that he might retire in the pre-fight on Sat night.
He'd get a huge pay day..
Some are saying it'll be a 60million dollar fight....
I think that would interest Roy Jones.....
Personally, I hope it doesn't happen... the heavy-weight division is a joke as it is.

Michael Spinks was light-heavy champ when he fought Tyson. It's a much different Tyson now though. I'd like to see it though.giggzy said:
..and holyfield was nothing if not a bulked up light-heavy. i don't know why there is such a taboo about crossing weight classes. boxing is at worst the pits of human gladiatorial spectacle therefore i'm not sure why we'd give two shits about a possible weight mis-match. didn't see the fight, but i trust the comments of i think raoul and kennyj who said jones was always in control even if it looked the opposite. never has a fighter been so demonized for completely outclassing his opponents!
Roy started of at middleweight...... or was it Super? So, he's moved up a few divisions.... I reckon Spinks was naturally a bigger boxer than Jones... personally, I doubt whether Roy could take a 'proper' punch from a good/strong heavy weight.kennyj said:
And yes, It's a different Tyson..... one who's slow, and doesn't have a stomach for a fight..... so Roy could out box him....and make him look silly in the process.
He was a sted-head n'all!!mr. destro said:
Michael Spinks was the tall, skinny light-heavy. Jones is actually stockier. Spinks turned out to be a good heavy, beating Holmes and all, but was no match for Tyson and looked like that was the last place on earth that he wanted to be that night.

I had it 115-113 for RJJ. Tarver just didnt do enough to win the fight. It was there for the taking but he let up for some reason after the 2nd round. Of course the reason was a viscous body attack that slowed him down and maybe you missed
