Despite of how painful it was to see how the fight was going after round 6, it was refreshing and respectable to see Jones still fighting to WIN, and not just to stay alive. He was facing a lot of adversity. He was being beaten by a great fighter that acted like a goof and was doing to him what he used to do to his opponents, he had a large cut on his eye for the first time, and a shitty cutman that wasn't helping etc. Thankfully Manny mentioned this plenty of times.
I remembered the 3rd Tarver fight, and as a fan I was crushed. Not really because he lost, but because he didn't fight like a champion troughout. For this one, I think this fight did good for Roy's legacy.
Thankfully Joe slaps, so he didn't put any SERIOUS harm on Roy's health. But if Joe had serious power, Roy definitely would have got some serious lifelong damage done with all the shots that landed last night.
when roy is bloody and getting hit in the head alot, time to hang em up roy. Roy use to never get hit in the head, or vary little...and never get cut..
Many folks claimed he was damaged goods after he came down from being a HW, but I feel he became complacent in the first Tarver fight when he became overconfident and greatly underestimated Tarver and suffered his first KO.
After that, it was downhill from there.
He did what he had to do as a fighter, but it's time to hang'em up for good.
Unless he wants to do exhibition fights like Mike.
