Tarver-Jones III Done Deal!
By G. Leon
July 27, 2005 - Light heavyweight king Antonio Tarver and Roy Jones Jr's advisor Brad Jacobs have informed Boxingtalk.com that a deal has been reached for the two light heavyweight adversaries to settle the score in a rubbermatch on HBO PPV October 1. No site has been solidified as of yet, but Jacobs told Boxingtalk one should be secured by the end of the week. Expect much more to follow, including a MUST READ exclusive interview with Tarver.
now im looking for pics of Jones training
My Pick: Jones Jr. by UD :boxing:
side note: You don't get fuckin MADZ PROPS fo takin on sumbody fo fuck's sake. You get props fo beatin sumbody.
Obviously you've never boxed before. Yeah, Roy gets mad props for getting back into the ring with the man who just about cost Roy Jones his legacy. He gets props for ,after as rich as he is, wanting to climb back between the ropes and avenge his first true defeat. Roy's whole career was never about taking risk's. He's doing so now, mad props to him.
i'm not sure what to make of RJJ coming back, but i hate antonio tarver as much as i like roy jones. i'd like to see roy make this personal ( which is what it will take to beat tarver, he has to get his ass fired up )and beat the fuck out of antonio E.T. tarver. roy isn't what he used to be, but tarver is mediocre, a roy jones who is game and hungry ( not the Roy that showed up against Johnson but was mentally somewhere else ) could still beat ET, at least i hope so.
nyahahaha, go ahead homie, quote me and rememba wut I said. While we at it......Ima give you a mil, if Jones suvive mo than 6 rounds.
Ok hey I am not saying your wrong, just documented everyone that believes Roy will lose just in case he wins. :D
OK let me write down P just incase Jones wins. :D

you guys are hilarious! You people are jest pickin Jones to win becuz of his name and popularity. Jones won't win. How can you not understand tis? OMG......Jones won't win OK???!!!
Roy deserves props fo takin tis fight??!!!! Roy DOESNT even deserve tis fight fo bein KOed twice. Tarver realizes tis is ta biggest payday he can get, so what the hell, take it! Eazy win fo him anyways. It's evident anyways that Tarver is betta than Jones right now.

Tarver wins again by KO 2
OK, a reasonable prediction...that could certainly happen. However IF Jones does win I don't want to hear Tarver was overated. :D
Tarver wins again by KO 2
One thing you can be sure of that won't happen, Jones just won't let it, Tarver won't get the chance. Can't call it because I just can't tell if jones is shot...
Hey no ones can say Roy never took a chance anymore...this is a big chance. He just got KOed twice in a row and is past his prime; plus he is fighting the got who hammered him in two rounds. Roy deserves props for taking this fight.
Everyone is saying Roy's reflexes are gone. I don't think they're gone, just diminished. He's probably still got better reflexes than a lot of fighters out there.
That said, do you think Roy is aware of this? Do you think Roy has gone back to boxing school and will show us something different in this fight? Do you think he'll show a bit more of a conventional style (jab) to adapt to his new age/body/chin?
Sure. I want Roy to beat Tarver's bitch ass too but I don't think he'll be able to do it. I'll take that bet though.
aight its a bet then...hopully the fight happens
hey oldgringo, ill bet u 10,000 points that Roy Jones beats Tarver on Oct. 1st....What do u say??
