Super_Lightweight 09-28-2005, 09:51 AM It should be friday. I've never heard of em doing it two days prior except for heavyweight fights.

Super_Lightweight 09-28-2005, 05:44 PM The undercard is solid, man. I don't know why you'd disrespect it like that. It had Kid Diamond vs Nate Campbell, a rematch between Brian Minto and Maddalone, two c class heavyweights that made for a good brawl in their first fight, and it also has Andre Ward. .::EnRiQuE::. 09-28-2005, 05:48 PM undercard should be better if its going ot be a PPV. Truth 09-28-2005, 05:51 PM The weign is only two days from now and this is the official thread. Keep bumping it up...By the way 2ndroundKO I love the Vida avatar :) .::EnRiQuE::. 09-28-2005, 05:53 PM The weign is only two days from now and this is the official thread.

The Maddalone fight should be a war, we get to see olympian Ward and an up and coming fighter in KD. Should be a great night. everlast99 09-28-2005, 07:56 PM let's keep this at the top BUMP Truth 09-28-2005, 09:03 PM let's keep this at the top BUMP Thanks man, this is how you eliminate a million threads on the same topic. InThisCorner 09-28-2005, 11:38 PM BUMP! I can't ****ing wait to see this weigh-in pic. Unfortunately, I won't be able to watch the PPV... Anyone know a live internet site I can see this from, or if anyone can set up a webcam or something so I can view over MSN? Thanks. .::EnRiQuE::. 09-29-2005, 12:20 AM Thanks man, this is how you eliminate a million threads on the same topic. i hate that after a fight how they had 8,000,000,000,000 threads on the same ****... j 09-29-2005, 12:52 AM you know, this is an interesting match up, once again. should be one hell of a fight. too bad i'll be saving up for castillo/corrales and klitschko/rahman. rjj/tarver - should've been called a f'ing draw! unless you LOVE roy jones. rjj/tarver 2 - tarver, no doubt. so this rubbermatch becomes interesting. does roy have what it takes to equal this series. i say equal because i scored the first fight a draw. IMO, tarver will have to bring more than he did in the johnson/tarver 1 or 2 fight to get this victory. hopefully, antonio wasn't kidding about not taking this fight lightly, because roy may just show up with a feirce mentality making this a greater fight than tarver may have first suspected. .::EnRiQuE::. 09-29-2005, 11:43 AM just bumping this baby up... Truth 09-29-2005, 01:23 PM just bumping this baby up... You the man...keeping bumping it... :D JONESDESTROYSTARVER 09-29-2005, 01:57 PM man i can not wait for this damn fight. it was signed not to long ago so it hasnt even seemed that long that ive had to wait for it. im so glad its coming up this week. i think RJJ will put on the best performance of his life and stop tarver in round 4. you will see a more aggressive jones than ever and he will jump on him from the opening bell. well maybe not jump on him but he will do what he did in the first round of their rematch. this time he wont lose focus after that because it was to easy and he will keep it up in the second. in the 3rd round he will put tarver down near the end of the round. midway through the 4th after dominating the whole round he will unleash combos and put him down again, then go after him with vicious combos and the ref will save tarver from further punishment. restless_438 09-29-2005, 03:35 PM ttt. i put money on this fight more than a month ago.. im beyond excited here.. .::EnRiQuE::. 09-29-2005, 04:21 PM bump, bump bump it up!...

Then he got off the scale and an interviewer came in and he looked all pumped talking but I couldn't hear. Zab Super Judah 09-30-2005, 05:49 PM jones looks ready. Damn never realized tarver was so skinny ClydeErwinBarretto 09-30-2005, 05:50 PM Well, his definitely didn't look like it did when he fought Johnson.

ClydeErwinBarretto 09-30-2005, 05:54 PM Well, I tell you. A lot more solid than Tarver. But then again Roy always had cuts and crazy definition. He doesn't look all caved in the way he did against Johnson or even Tarver 2. But I can't tell whether he's thicker or what compared to the last two fights. InThisCorner 09-30-2005, 05:54 PM Does Roy's body look as good as ever? And how does Tarver's look? What did they say to the camera's..I NEED TO KNOW, I WANNA JERK SOON!

Tarver looked in pretty damned good shape. Scrawny but then again he only fought two months ago. TonyWomackFan 09-30-2005, 07:58 PM Whoa! Tarver don't look so skinny anymore :eek: and it does look like Roids Jones Jr is back.. well his body is, is his chin? TonyWomackFan 09-30-2005, 08:02 PM Is it me or does RJJ's traps/neck look real strong? This will help his chin IMO.. cupcrazy01 09-30-2005, 08:02 PM Nothing gets me pumped for a fight like a good weigh-in...I hope someone can get that interview with Roy that he did right after with Brian Kenny, man, he looked pumped. I haven't seen many RJJ weigh-ins, is that typical weigh-in trash talk or is it rare? It does seem like he feels really good and looks supremely confident. JONESDESTROYSTARVER 09-30-2005, 08:11 PM im going hrough the tape now it was definitely on the hot list cause i came in when tarver was talking to brian kenny. ill post some stuff that roy said i cant wait to hear it either he definitely was fired up as hell. Pac Man Fan 83 09-30-2005, 08:20 PM Here is what Roy had to say (and Tarver) (http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/columns/story?columnist=rafael_dan&id=2177390) InThisCorner 09-30-2005, 08:24 PM For some reason that link wont work for me. Can you copy/paste please? EDIT- NVM i got it. Tarver is my dad 09-30-2005, 08:27 PM For some reason that link wont work for me. Can you copy/paste please? TAMPA, Fla. -- Roy Jones Jr. finally broke his silence Friday, albeit briefly. On Thursday, the former four-division champ and one-time pound-for-pound king had arrived at his news conference, strode defiantly to the podium and barked out a 17-second statement: "I ain't got much to say. My hand is fine. I ain't got no excuses. I got no reason for being here but one -- that's to kick ass. That's what I came for. That's all I got to [expletive] say." With that, the heavily bearded Jones exited the St. Pete Times Forum, got into a Rolls Royce and was whisked away. Jones (49-3, 38 KOs) has been anything but talkative during the buildup to his third showdown with rival and light heavyweight king Antonio Tarver (23-3, 18 KOs), with whom he has split two fights, including a crushing second-round knockout loss in May 2004. However, after registering 173 pounds at Friday's weigh-in at the city aquarium (Tarver was 175 pounds), Jones allowed ESPN's Brian Kenny to interview him for about two minutes. Jones was animated about his return to the ring after consecutive knockout losses to Tarver and Glen Johnson and a year off. "[God] brought me back to perform for my people," said Jones, a Pensacola resident who faces Tampa-resident Tarver on Saturday night (HBO PPV, 9 ET). Jones said that the return of his father, Roy Jones Sr., to his corner after more than a decade in exile has not changed much about his training regimen. Jones Sr. is sharing training duties with Alton Merkerson, who has been Jones' trainer for 11 years. "Not much effect at all," Jones said about his father's return. "My daddy has been very helpful. He asked to come aboard. I'm not the kind of guy to deny my own blood. That's my father. He brought me in the game. If he wants to be there, fine. He made [training camp] more exciting for me." Jones Jr. fired his father as trainer in 1992 and they have been largely estranged since. Jones also said that he always knew he and Tarver would meet for a third time, even after Johnson shockingly knocked Jones out last September. "History shows that the guy that wins the second fight often wins the third fight, too, but I don't see Tarver winning too many of the 14 rounds we fought, so I'm cool," Jones said. "I feel like I'm the man." Jones added that the fight is "very important. I got Michael Jordan coming to the fight. I can't let Mike down." Jones, who said he would shave the heavy beard before the fight, did not address comments he made several weeks ago about a hand injury he said he suffered early in training camp. Earlier, Merkerson addressed the hand issue. "His hand is fine and there is no problem at all and he will be ready," Merkerson said. "He'll be fine -- he's a big boy. Whichever hand it is, it doesn't really matter. He'll be OK for the fight. His dad trained him for 13 years and I have trained him for 11 and this is no different than the problems he's had before, so it won't be a factor in the fight. "He's not setting up an excuse," Merkerson added. "... All I can say is if his hand is hurting him, it's not hindering what it's doing in training. I can say I've got a headache but I still train. It's not going to give anyone an edge in the fight and it's not going to be an excuse. Believe me, there have never been excuses and there's not going to be an excuse this time." Tarver said he didn't care about Jones' hand and that he was preparing to fight a fit-and-ready Jones. "I suffer several injuries during camp," he said. "This is the hurt business. Anybody that goes through camp without a little pain ain't working hard. Every skin on my knuckles have come off. But that hasn't stopped me from hitting the bag. My feet are busted and blistered from the miles I am putting in every day. But it hasn't stopped me from running. The theme of this fight is 'No Excuses' so I don't care what happens to him. I'm hurting. I soak my feet in Epsom salts three times a week to stop the pain. But you never hear me speak about that - it is irrelevant. So leave all those excuses in Pensacola because I don't want to hear it." Dan Rafael is the boxing writer for ESPN.com. Tarver is my dad 09-30-2005, 08:28 PM so i guess roy is gonna cut the beard for tomororow's fight. Zab Super Judah 09-30-2005, 08:31 PM MJ goiing to come watch him..im thinking about putting down 100 bucks on roy and win 175 if he wins InThisCorner 09-30-2005, 08:32 PM OMG!I cant ****ing wait!! dansweeney 09-30-2005, 08:38 PM Roy by savage, vicious, rediculous, concussing, kayo in the first minute of the first round. RJJ is back!!!!!!!! Wouldn't that be great InThisCorner 09-30-2005, 08:41 PM I've learned this year to NEVER count out a fighter. On most of my predictions I've went with my gut feeling, and on most occasions i've been right. I'm picking Roy by KO. One of these guys is gonna get KO'd. These guys hate each other too much. JONESDESTROYSTARVER 09-30-2005, 08:43 PM does anyone know what roy said with kenny after he weighed in? i thought for some dumb ass reason espn would show it since i dont know he works for them and was there covering the weigh in which they kept building up on espnnews only to not even ****ing show it. why isnt the videos sound working btw? !! Mr. Soprano 09-30-2005, 08:46 PM Don't hate me, but as Tyson, I think Roy is done.. I was his fan as well, he served us well and I think he is making a mistake Pac Man Fan 83 09-30-2005, 08:46 PM does anyone know what roy said with kenny after he weighed in? i thought for some dumb ass reason espn would show it since i dont know he works for them and was there covering the weigh in which they kept building up on espnnews only to not even ****ing show it. why isnt the videos sound working btw? Read the thread. Its all here. JONESDESTROYSTARVER 09-30-2005, 08:48 PM Read the thread. Its all here. nah he said a lot more than that he talked for like 2-4 minutes with kenny. theres no way he just answered 3-4 questions. it didnt have when he was getting all hyped up cause theres no way he was saying that stuff all hyper. Zab Super Judah 09-30-2005, 09:07 PM if you still want to see the weigh in its on the right side of hte page on the espn motion http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/index DiegoFuego 09-30-2005, 09:44 PM how his bod look? I'm convinced you are beyond gay at this point. "OMG OMG ROY PICS PLEASE?! DOES HE LOOK HOT?" ~InThisCorner m00ks 09-30-2005, 09:46 PM RJJ's body looks like its built for in-fighting. I'm getting a tingly feeling about tommorow. Joaquin_Adriel 09-30-2005, 09:48 PM Nice to know that Michael Jordan is comming and will support RJJ, this will add inspiration & confidence to his performance. I do think that MJ presence will be one of the biggest factor to jones win. Pariah21388 09-30-2005, 10:34 PM wish i could hear what Roy was saying at the end i know damn Hisoka 09-30-2005, 10:50 PM ^ They showed the whole interview with Brian Kenny 2 hours ago on ESPNNEWS. The channel usually recycles the same stuff all day so they might show it again. 2nd II none 09-30-2005, 11:20 PM Man I can't wait for this fight. Get em Roy.Shut these haters up. m00ks 09-30-2005, 11:44 PM ^ They showed the whole interview with Brian Kenny 2 hours ago on ESPNNEWS. The channel usually recycles the same stuff all day so they might show it again. what he say simeraksou 09-30-2005, 11:48 PM This is going to be a great fight. $50 is excessive for any pay per view, but after seeing roy jones in a beard and physically very well prepared, I'm convinced that this is worth it. simeraksou 09-30-2005, 11:53 PM ...It is not inconceivable that Roy Jones wins by a vicious body shot ala Virgil Hill... 2nd II none 10-01-2005, 12:29 AM Once again Roy will regain his titles and his spot on the p4p list. rsl 10-01-2005, 12:43 AM ...It is not inconceivable that Roy Jones wins by a vicious body shot ala Virgil Hill...Yeah, if he can deliver it w/ the same speed, which he'll need to execute it. Anyway the whole beard thing w/ Roy reminds me of Ali(mustache) when he fought Holmes, I think the beard made RJJ look even older. I think it's all up to Tarver, I hope it just isn't the money for Antonio(if he plays to the level of his opposition's tempo which means I expect Roy to be slower than ever and Tarver might end up too lethargic and get caught sleeping) 'cause if it is then Roy may have a chance. Otherwise it's Tarver by UD or just a good ole' k.o. from Tarver and nothing serious happens to Jones Jr. Anyway anybody wanna make any bets I'm pickin' Tarver! InThisCorner 10-01-2005, 12:57 AM What Roy say at the interview? Super_Lightweight 10-01-2005, 01:08 AM Roy better win this. I'm in Orlando now guys and will be in Tampa tomorrow for the fight (at my gf's house until we leave). Pensacola needs this from Roy. It would just boost us up. This fight for me had a lot of spirituality tied into it. I know if Roy wins I will be very happy. If he loses I will be very depressed and yall need to stop hyping up Roy so much because it is making me get hype also thinking he's the Roy of old, which may not be true. Please, Roy...just win and retire...win and retire. 2nd II none 10-01-2005, 01:10 AM Roy will win period man.And prove his place in history. Bad Intentions 10-01-2005, 03:40 AM Roy Looks Great, Im hoping he will perform great, I just bought the RJJ greatest powershots 2day, and i caught my self sayin he gonna whup tarver but i keep 4geting those videos are old, lol, But i hope he can dig deep and add tarver to his next KO DVD....Lets Go ROY!!!! Super_Lightweight 10-01-2005, 04:00 AM Man...this is gonna be one sour place to be if Roy loses. I try hard not to get my hopes up too much. I don't wanna feel like I did after the Tarver rematch. I'm prayin' and hopin' for a Jones win. Please just let it happen. Tha Greatest 10-01-2005, 04:05 AM Superlightweight, It is his destiny to win, when have you ever seen Roy come in with a beard? For you people that think I ain't rooting for him... Roy will win. Remember I said this after the fight. the_painless 10-01-2005, 10:27 AM holy ****! i was gonna put money on Tarver- but i might think twice about that one!! JONESDESTROYSTARVER 10-01-2005, 10:49 AM hes got it and im not even worried at all. the rematch it was a lucky punch and roy dominated the fight up to that point. he started to get over confident and he got caught with the eyes closed punch. johnson-please obviously he hadnt even trained and he didnt even give a **** at all, he was very worn out, thats over he is rested AND HES BACK JONES TKO 4 snipes12 10-01-2005, 10:51 AM rjj will gonna be like mike tyson , will run out gas in the last rounds and quit . he will then announce his retirement like mike did ShowStopper 10-01-2005, 11:06 AM Go Roy Jones!!! I've a gut feeling that tonight, even if you wont win the fight you will win the crowd. I had a totally enigmatic vision yesterday at Crobar. Van Buuren was spinning and at the end of a third live set when I was in a totally diffrenet world(K-hole to be exact) I saw Roy being cheered by fans and praised by commentators. I dont know if it was just my hallucination or vision of future but I sticking with Jones. snipes12 10-01-2005, 11:40 AM blah blah this threads are similar to the mike tyson threads before ShowStopper 10-01-2005, 11:57 AM blah blah this threads are similar to the mike tyson threads before Deffinattelyy... But we believe. I mean who seriously (besides us Wlad fans) believed Wlad be able to beat Peter. Nobody really... Same goes to Jones. We just believe he can pull it off 1 more time. snipes12 10-02-2005, 04:27 AM Deffinattelyy... But we believe. I mean who seriously (besides us Wlad fans) believed Wlad be able to beat Peter. Nobody really... Same goes to Jones. We just believe he can pull it off 1 more time. told you he cant handle tarver in the late rounds snipes12 10-02-2005, 04:29 AM but im wrong in the "quiting" thing , im still amuse of what tricks can rjj pull off in a fight not like tarver which is full of boresome lazy 09-09-2010, 09:05 PM TheKza Bright-Eyes Casual JAB5239 uǝǝɹƃ |
