RJ will win this one on pure talent alone. Jones still has speed and this guy hasn't fought anyone with half of Roy's talent. My guess is that Roy will display the sweet science of "Hit Without Being Hit". Expect an early stoppage.... Round 8 and only because Roy wants to put on a show for the Polish fans. But by round 8.... It's over!!!
Like my man Money Mayweather said.... It's easy to look from the outside and say.... I can beat this guy... But it's a different ball game once you get inside the ring with him. Roy by KO!!!! Nextttttttt!!!!
Roy is one of my favorite fighters of all time but this version of Roy anybody he fights has a chance to KO him especially when he is fighting out of his country. I hope to see vintage Roy Jones that schooled Jeff Lacy a few years back. It seems like every time he takes these fight overseas they are on kind of quick notice and he doesn't fully have time prepare 100% in the gym since he too busy trying to promote the fight then training.

Roy should have retired 8-9 years ago.
It makes me sad seeing him continue like this, truly sad.

This guy wouldn't be able to hang for 2 minutes with 2001 RJJ.
