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.
