    it's an amazing show. they have some really well said statements in there.

    BUT, i can't understand their ****ing accents! lol ... joe has a welsh accent and roy has a fuc*in country accent. lol 2 extremes.

      I'd rather hear a fighter with that "I'm scared to death of losing" attitude than acting like he's just happy to be there.
      Have you been following sports long? Those who carry around any kind of real fear are usually the ones who lose at the pinnacle. Most athletes perform better when there's no one placing pressure on them. They're very loose when they get to the event date. Pressure can make you shy and stiff when you need to put the pedal to the metal.

      On another note, many folks missed the meaning behind the message Roy had at the end. He was basically saying he has NOTHING to lose and EVERYTHING to gain. He's hungry. I guess we'll find out definitively how passed it he is Nov. 8.

        If Roy Jones was the arrogant a$$ he was back in the day it would have been more entertaining.

        The show is still good tho, as an American I love seeing the shots in Wales, I completely forget that you guys drive your cars on the right side as well as drive on the opposite side of the roads we ride on.

        I love when they show Joe's house, which is beautiful, and Joe's family, his hot girlfriend and his two boys.

        The Roy highlights are fun with his past wins and loses but his shots in the woods of PA are kind off boring. Joe's gym in Wales also looks like ****, a gyms a gym .

        From an entertainment aspect, they should show more of Enzo,who is a complete moron and talks plenty of trash which makes for good tv. Roy should talk a lil more trash and I'd love to see his house and fam too as well as how each fighters respective states feel about them

            for some reason i got the impression that joe is going to win this one handidly. he just seems much crisper than jones at this stage in his career. the training clips of joe are impressive.

            it also reminded me of how much i love roy jones. he is the man, and a good guy. i hope he wins, but if not, I hope he escapes unhurt at the very least.

              Pressure can also help them perform at the highest level.

              Plenty of fighters have fear. Not the "Seldon against Tyson" type of fear, but just a fear of losing. They channel it in the right direction. They train hard and give it everything in the ring.

                Exactly my impressions. Roy looked very slow.

                But he's still the man. he's going to lose. He should never have taken this fight, he should have retired after Johnson. But oh well, another pad on the record of Joe.

                  i thought roy should have retired after ruiz, or at the very latest, after Tarver I

                      Fair Play i agree. But there were tons of punks who would never have let him live down the Tarver non-fight. So he did what people wanted him to do. Props to him. if he'd have retired after Ruiz there would be no questions about his greatness.
