he didn't really have to. He was so accurate and sharp with his punches, he didn't really have to. Jones has never really been a volume puncher.

I think that Jones can beat Jermaine. Taylor doesn't do anything better than Roy, even at this stage of Roy's career.

**Reezy** · 02-20-2008, 07:50 PM

he could have stop trinidad if he would have thrown more...

Taylor will stop him in two rounds. Roy is simply past his prime and Taylor has actually improven alot since he has went back with Ozel Nelson. Roy comes out blasting and showing shades of the Roy of old, then Taylor eventually catches up with him and stops him in the 2nd. His weak chin will play into Taylor's hands.

I think RJJ would fight very defensively, so i don't see him gettn KO'd. I see him losing in a decision though. Taylor still has a lot of talent and is young. He does fade, but i don't really think he'll be as tired as he was against Pavlik in the late rounds..

Roy may be past his prime but, he still has enough left to beat taylor. I believe his weak chin was caused by his 20 pound of muscle weight loss. I went through the same **** for wrestling I dropped from 152 to 130 for wrestling. That was pretty hard to do considering that I'm 6'2". When was the last time he came out blasting, he's not that type of fighter.

Let me answer for a few... i wrote these before u guys posted!!!! lol

UltimateBoxa:

Roy has a glass chin and will be knocked out Cold by Jermaine... Jermaine is too strong, and Roy likes to goto sleep way to much... Tito was hitting jones all night... and Roy only fights 2 minutes a round, considering how well jermaine did against Pavlik... beating Tito is BARELY the step up in competition he needs to fight jermain... Taylor KO3 Jones

SlickerSouthpaw:

Theres no way Jones can hang with Jermain at this stage in his career... Im sorry but I think he has stamina problems and cant take a punch... If jermaine connects its lights out for Roy... Back in the day RJJ was GREAT.. but at this point.. he gets knocked out by the younger fresher Jermaine.
Taylor KO2 jones

Moofo:
Roys 39 years old.
Hes been knocked out TWICE.
He beat 2 bums and a washed up, blown up, inactive Trinidad.
Explain to me please, how Roy could even WISH to beat Jermain at this stage in his career...
Taylor KO6Jones

First Rule of Battle: Know thy enemy.

Me:
I think as far as punch output... there actually pretty even... take into acount how Pavlik just marches in forward in a straight line, pretty much gives Taylor the chance to punch whenever he feels like it....

Fighting roy, he still does things that 85% of everyone overlooks... First off.. he holds his right hand lead Directly in your face... so when your looking for openings with your jab against Roy, all you see is a glove in your face.. and you see Roys Left hanging off to the side... it almost feels like if you come in your getting hit with the left hook... if you try and jab your gonna get countered with the right.... these are the things you see fighting Roy, and he DOES have the hand speed accuracy to pull the trigger on you...

Also if Jermaine for one second gets lazy with that left hand and starts bringin it down, look for one of the fastest straight rights in boxing to hit him Directly... and Jermaine SWELLS, EASY...

Also the fact that Jermaine has an UP jab... he likes to come up with his jab... with Roy holding out his right lead glove all the time it pretty much is covering over that up jab... and is also ni direct site to land on his face at the same time...

What Roy needs to look out from Jermaine is... instead of Jermaine coming up with the up jab... step in with a wide left hook... at this point Roy doesnt move BACK as quickly as he used too, and his reflexes HAVE slowed, and when he tries to step back from a wide left hook.. Jermaine has a good reach... so that could be BAD for Roy... DEFINITELY...

Obviously the moving back on the ropes part is also bad for Roy, he cant be doing any of that as Jermaine does have a hell of a punch. Im curious to see what Roys view is gonna be on Taylor as far as... who does Roy think is the bigger guy... In roys mind hes comin from, HW, and jermaines comin from MW... so Roy might want to try and walk Taylor down like he did Trinidad...

I personally think Jermaine is the bigger guy... but.. Jermaine does kinda crouch down a lot when he fights, and so far Roys been doin that WWinky style, and he kinda stands up straighter... He looked a lot taller than Tito, and there the same height.. So Roy could end up looking the bigger man...

I personally dont feel hes that washed up... Lets not forget.. Roy got knockd out.. it WAS 4 years ago.. since then hes had 3 fights, each one being tougher than the last... hes JUST as active as Taylor... Roy fought in July and January.. Taylor fought in September and February... Roys gone through a good 24 rounds... Taylor got KOed in September, and just Went through a hellacious training camp, and a Hellacious second fight... on top of that... Jermaine is now gonna move UP in to a bigger weight class.. and Roys gona move down... This will do two things... Get Roy in better shape, and take power away from Jermaine... Its more even than you think it is...

Ill go with Roy UD... based on VERY clean VISIBLE punching, especially from Angles... and Jermaine finding it difficult to get past Roys stance and counter punching abilities.. But its not a walk in the park either.. he better get UP for Jermaine...
