Roy Jones Jr.-Jermain Taylor in The Works

[THE REED]

He allowed Tito to hit him and didn't even fight the first rounds. I don't think that's gonna work against Taylor. He also dismantled Tito with a handful of punches. After weather the storm that is the massive volume of Pavlik punches Taylor is IMO gonna come out a much stronger fighter in his next bout.

He fought tito, with his own game plan... he said it before the fight... im gonna walk him down... im the bigger guy... make him expend his energy in the first rounds... and its EXACTLY what he did... so comparing what he did against tito, isnt an equal comparison on what he might do against jermain

you think Roys ******? you think he doesnt know what hes doing? or how to beat a particular fighter? everyones different, and you have to adjust... he will know jermains weaknesses and take advantage of it, just like titos weakness was being the smaller man...

Jermains weakness is he keeps his left hand low... and roy has the fastest right hand in the game... roys body shots are also extrmely fast and extremely accurate... its much easier to hit jermain then it is to hit roy... even at this stage of his career

How fast are Pavliks hands? faster than roys? I dont think they are by a LONG shot.. and pavlik was landing on jermain... roys more fast and more accurate... roy also holds his lead right hand up, to block site of your jab he does a lot of things, that you cant necessarily see from the tv screen.. but when your in front of him... you find it difficult to find your target...

and in the tito fight.. his back maybe hit the ropes 5 times the whole fight... he circled around tito... he only went to the ropes when he wanted to rope a dope him... im sure he knows he cant do that with jermain

terrible statement no explanation needed

How so? Give facts to support you opinionated claim. BTW, Glen Johnson got lucky against Jones and fought him right after the Tarver KO. He would and will get owned if they ever fight again.

If Roy beats Taylor he will earn alot of respect,Taylor lost a hard fought decision against Pavlik on saturday,he gained ALOT from the loss,if Roy beats Taylor it would look great on his resume

EXACTLY and he will definitely be seen as more of a threat...

Pavlik will probably want to fight him b4 he moves up to Calzaghe or Kessler for a Serious pounding in the light heavy or super division.

And I'm sorry but honestly.. KESSLER WILL KNOCK PAVLIK OUT.

CALSLAPPY WILL SLAP HIM TO A ENTERTAINING 120 PUNCH PER-ROUND DECISION. POSSIBLY K.O. BECAUSE HE DID HURT KESSLER.

[Gareth Ivanovic]

Even though Taylor has lost his last two it seems his career really didn't take a hit. Which makes sense because I though he fought well against Pavlik. I would rather see Taylor fight guys in the SMW division, but a fight with Roy isn't too bad.

[RL_GMA]

I'm not mad at this fight. Taylor looked good against Pavlik and fighting Roy is a different type of fight for him.

I was actually tellin people they should set this fight up immediately after taylor lost.

Quit day dreaming. Glen IS and ALWAYS will be Roy's "daddy". He has his number.

This could turn out to be a boring fight! I wouldn't put it on PPV. The sales are going to be poor and they better give us an amazing undercard.

Did you even see the fight? There was nothing systematic about Johnson kayoing Jones, he landed a perfect right hand on the chin when Roy let his guard down. Roy doesn't fight like that anymore, he's very good defensively. When Roy got fed up with Johnson's pressuring tactics he had spurts in which he landed accurately and made a good enough impression that Johnson stopped firing. What I'm saying is, almost everything Roy did wrong that fight has been corrected by him after. I give him a good enough chance to redeem himself

he actually got hit on the side of the head behind the ear... not the chin...
