Roy Jones, Jr. Brutally knocked out

[LittleBoyBlue]

please retire

 

[Longboysfan]

He could not beat time.

 

[YosemiteSam]

Deserved.

 

[Seven]

He's fat.

 

[Jammer]

He is still boxing? One of the best there was, but I thought he had long ago hung up his gloves.

 

[RS12]

Wasnt he in the 88 Olympics? Did he blow all his money? Now he will be remembered as a tomato can who stayed too long.

I dont think so, I read he is worth like $45 million plus he makes around $500k a year doing HBO boxing.

Yes, he was in the '88 Seoul Olympics. He dominated throughout the games, never losing a round. Then he lost a controversial decision in the gold medal round to a South Korean fighter, in a fight he had obviously won. All three judges were found later to be corrupt and suspended by the IOC, but they never did reverse the decision, leaving Jones Jr with the silver.

 

[Risen Star]

Yeah, but in fairness he was fighting Enzo Maccarinelli.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I didn't even know the guy was still in it. I thought he retired years ago.

 

[RonSpringsdaman20]

He keeps this up he's gonna die in the ring.

 

[RonSpringsdaman20]

He's fat.

yeh.


One of the most talented boxers ever....
reduced to this.

Former four division world champion Roy Jones (62-9, 45KO's) spoke to reporters in Russia and gave no indication of retiring from the ring.

He actually just gets a fight and fights.... It's like he retired but sneaks these in here and there... Meaning he doesn't talk upcoming fights with his fellow commentators... And they don't ask him about upcoming fights... I doubt they know.

One of the best. Sorta.... Another one of these elusive punch and run fighters. Never really was in an "exchange".... I liked him but when he got caught....HE GOT CAUGHT....

 

[YosemiteSam]

He's fat.

He did look a bit pudgy.

Actually they mentioned one of his upcoming fights on a recent broadcast that he was on... It was in passing.
Roy has a promotional company, they promote boxing and MMA. I think he's a part of the promotion of each card he's on, and he's a Russian citizen. I think there is some method in his extreme madness.

Look at his hand speed, Mariana Trench type drop off

 

[KJJ]

Unfortunately that happens a lot in boxing fighters never know when to quit until they're embarrassed. I attended the Ail/Holmes fight in 1980 being an Ail fan that was tough to watch.
