by most people opinion once jones came back from heavy he was esstentially past is prime when he eventually met tarver
now i am not the biggest tarver and i dont wanna discredit is wins but
jones tarver 2 - i think jones dominated the first round, he seemed very very sharp and i think he was going to put on a boxing clinic!!!
however tarver WITH is eyes closed!!!! knocked roy out - tarver proclaimed this to be a perfect shot blah blah etc etc but.....
was roy on is way to victory and did he just get caught and careless
or did tarver always have the edge on him in a stylistic way!!
any opinions welcome as long as there not retard!!!
Except for that one punch, Tarver couldn't land anything on Jones for 4 and a half minutes.
Jones controlled Tarver in the middle of the ring in their first fight. Tarver won most of his rounds by flurring him on the ropes.
Second fight only happens in the middle of the ring and Jones looked fit that day.
So assuming Jones would've won a lot of rounds and win the fight, is pretty easy.
Btw: Jones started the second fight better than the first one!
At least that's a better explanation than " uuuhmm something was looking wrong with Jones that night"
OR
"uuuuh tarver would've landed that left sooner or later"
That's just pathetic. woow your know the outcome of a fight 5 years later. congratulations.
99,9% of you thought Jones would win and were shocked.
spare your bullshit
For the books, Jones was knocked down by Lou Del Valle with a jumped left hand(southpaw)
I was looking at some of my fight picks on another site and was dismayed at how off I was on some. And also how I let other people and news affect me. Some of my picks were downright embarrassing. That said, I picked Tarver to win this and I picked him by KO. Yes, Jones had a good first but Tarver had a good second and had just barely missed putting Jones' lights out with a powerful left about 30 seconds before he actually did it. I think that second round is more indicative of what would have happened--moreso than the first.

Tarver was going to land a big left sooner or later.
In fact, a few moments before Roy got decked, Tarver just missed the mark on a straight left. It sort of grazed Roy's face, but it bad intentions written all over it.
Tarver got a talking to in the corner between the first and second rounds if I remember correctly and came out fighting with more intensity in the second round.
I don't think Jones was on his way to a victory, his legs wouldn't have held up for 12 rounds IMO.
not saying he was on is way to victory
but from past jones performance he keeps hight level of performance in every round constantally its not like cotto marg where cotto dominated early stop that fight after 5 rounds cotto wins easy but cotto has history of tiring down the straight where jones dont thats what i was saying
he dominated the first round and would most likely of kept that stage of performance for every round
Nah, man. The first round was a ruse. Tarver fought totally different in the second and you could see how uncomfortable Jones was.

Roy did dominate the first round and looked to be in control until that punch tarver landed the KO blow. I think Roy would have won the fight easy but you could tell that something wasnt right with Roy in the ring. Tarver always gives him tough fights bc being left handed and the height difference but Roy would have won the fight easier that he did in the first. But I just thought something didnt look right in Roy the night of the 2nd fight.
You can't really say that Roy was on his way to victory simply because he won the first round,there was eleven rounds left.I think even at that stage Roy Jones still had the ability to beat Tarver.I think Tarver always gives him a competitive fight but that Roy Jones at most stages in his career beats him.The third fight was as much as Jones losing the fight as it was Tarver winning it.

Tarver would've got him at some point during the fight. It was bound to happen.
