Jones....KO round 3

[bad_man]

OK, so I have to sit through a 2-hour undercard. No problem.

Jones in 2.

[OSTIE]

Forget the name already, but the first undercard (dude in white shorts) had some tiggo bitties for sure. I think he didnt jack that dude in the jaw with his fist, but one of them saggin breasts of his when they were bouncin outta control. Either way, a win is a win, lol.

[Money Boss Hustla]

He got f'ing KO by Tarver!! I'm dying to see the highlights!!

[GeoQuadzilla]

Jones was winning on all 3 score cards up until he missed with a right hand and walked into Tarvers (Southpaw) left hand... and that was all she wrote

How could he make such an amateurish mistake?

stuff like that happens when you act cocky! serves him right

True enough. I have always like Jr., but he's a prick.

hes **** good but his attitude frickin annoys me to the bone!

[GeoQuadzilla]

No doubt that he is great... But Tarver got the best of him tonight

[Blown_SC]

I love how he's all up in the videos for rappers and sh!t....maybe that will change now....

[GeoQuadzilla]

If they fight again I don't think he'll make the same mistake twice

[Blown_SC]

Me either.....Jones wont lose again to him...rest assured.

Hilights? There's only one hilight. They felt each other out during the first round and then Jones got clocked with one punch in the second. It was probably the most perfect punch I've ever seen.

[Slick Arrado]

I'm still in shock from last night. I watched him get knocked out and I can barely believe it this morning. There goes $500. If there is a rubber match, I think Roy will win a lackluster decision. He doesn't like danger, so he'd dance around for 12 rounds.

[nsa]

Based on the post fight interview with Jones, I don't think he is going to ask for a rematch he's essentially been beaten twice by this guy and he doesn't enjoy fighting people in anything but the heavyweight class, He's going to move back up to heavyweight and fight again, he's not going to ask for a rematch. For those who watched it, did you all checkout the body comparison of him when he was a light heavyweight, heavyweight, then light heavyweight again, he was pretty jacked as a heavyweight.

[bad_man]

One more heavyweight fight and then a bout against Tyson for some major $ and then Roy will call it a career - and a **** good career it's been.

[mass junkie]

Cmon you guys can't actually think that Jones fight wasnt rigged.........Boxing is so dirty now a days with King as the fuking devil himself........Why is it that the Klitchko fight was shown free on HBO but the Jones fight was PPV? cmon people..........they know if their is a third fight it will cash in like a mother****er..........mark my words their will be a third fight and then Jones will wipe the canvas with tarvers ass

[bad_man]

Why would Jones take a dive? He is already worth like $400 million. You think he threw his legacy away for a few more?

I'd bet that was the hardest thing to convince him to do.....but yeah I think he took a dive...Theres no one else for him to fight..unless he goes back up to heavyweight........it just seemed unlike himself to be left open like that....I could be wrong

[IronCy]

****, ****, ****, i wish i would have been able to watch that fight! Will they replay it on hbo or somewhere?
-Cy

[Klossus]

no way he took a dive, you gotta see the second round in its entirety. youd think it was a lucky punch but tarver couldnt have thrown a more perfect punch. the best part of the fight was when the ref asked them if they had any questions and tarver says, "yea i got a question, roy, you got any excuses tonight?" roy was straight scared, even said so after the fight

[Elliot]

i hope jones finds god... cause dam tarver kicked his ass,,,,

[houseofpain]

i never thought i would see the day

You think he'll get his chance with Tyson after that fight?

[bigol'legs]

I havent seen the fight yet, but mass is right.. its unlike jones to let a punch come through like that...

[Executioner]

You guys are talking like they have never fought before and Tarver was some unknown with no talent.

Their first fight went the distance and Jones won what some thought was a controversial decision, Tarver landed more effective punches than any other opponent Jones had ever faced and didn't let Jones's quickness and flashiness get to him. The scorecards were pretty close.

Jones doesn't want a rematch because I'm sure he realizes that indeed Tarver has pulled his card and soundly defeated him, and he doesn't see himself winning against Tarver anymore.

Tarver naturally has a problematic style for Roy, and Jones admits that.

Anyone can get a chance with Tyson. Hell, Tyson called me last night and offered to fight me for a McDonald's cheeseburger.

i dont think he's worth that much. is he? not even lennox has that much.

[Blown_SC]

i dont think he's worth that much. is he? not even lennox has that much.

Maybe not in purse money, but, look how much he has in sponsorships/advertisement. Also, he has a music career; although not highly successful, still registered income.

Are you sure it wasn't Drederick Tatum? (The Simpsons)

Roy Jones doesn't fight anyone unless it benefits his future income. His HBO contract pays him $5 million per fight right now. If he takes chances like a real fighter should, he'd be risking guaranteed money. The only reason he fought Tarver again is because he tried to prove that the first fight was just a bad night. Tarver owned him in the first fight and he knocked him out in the second. I don't care what the scorecards said...a second round KO is a second round KO! Jones is not a "has been", he's a "never was" and he'll be a "never will be" if he doesn't take chances.

That's just the biggest load of $hit I've ever read. Sounds like you've only seen Jones fight one or two fights. The man was simply amazing. The best boxer of his time for my money. I think he's past his prime and he should consider calling it a career, but calling him a never was? You're just talking out your ass.

And who did he fight? 20 years from now will we be talking about his great matches? I'm half expecting a John Ruiz reply.

[bad_man]

OK, I'll be the first to admit that every fight Roy had was a very calculated fight and he had very few top opponents. But I said he was the best fighter of HIS time, not of ALL time. That's probably a statement about the sport than about the fighter.

Excess, I read some previous posts you put up on boxing and I have respect for your opinions. Can you name a better boxer during Jones' career? Tyson? Holyfield? Lewis (bah ha ha)? DeLaHoya? Hopkins? Seriously, I think you have to go with RJJ.
