nah, it was his own fault. he didnt throw any punches & jus stood in front of joe wit his hands up. i think roy lost some heart...Roy Jones Jr: "My cutman dropped the ball. Had he done his job, i would've won. There's not doubt i would've won, and i'd fight him in Wales to prove it"

Cmon Roy. Just give the man his props, and admit that your best days are behind u. You got beat fair and square, and now its time to hang them up.Comment

anyway you put it...cutman made a terrible job and after round 7 he was one eyed in the ring against a fast guy whos punches come from angles...if the cut was treated better ( see zab judah just before, he was cut real bad but his bleeding stopped right away) Roy could have done better than he did for sure. So well, on a fight of this magnitude, if the cutman ****s up...hes right to be angry at him.Comment

While i agree that the cutman did a ****ty job, i dont think it would've made a difference had Jones not even got cut. After the 1st round, Jones didnt do anything. What was Jones excuse for not fighting prior to getting cut?anyway you put it...cutman made a terrible job and after round 7 he was one eyed in the ring against a fast guy whos punches come from angles...if the cut was treated better ( see zab judah just before, he was cut real bad but his bleeding stopped right away) Roy could have done better than he did for sure.

first it was the weight loss ( muscle loss and I agreed w/him )

then loss of motivation...

Roy is a proud man, he was certainly beaten by the better man on Saturday with no real excuses.
I wouldn't have said that hes even slipped that much, hes still got fast hands for a near 40 year old, although his ability to avoid punches is a far cry from his heyday.
He is just not prepared to throw many punches per round or to punch in combination often enough, like he was always conserving his energy. He seemed in good twelve round condition, never out of breath in the corner in later rounds and had one of his best rounds in the final round.
I think he'd still give Hopkins a good fight, if he wants another payday, although I'd lean to Hopkins to actually win maybe a 116-112 verdict.Comment

well.. he didnt do enough...i dont agree he didnt do anything. Yes he was getting outworked but still could clock him from time to time...and joe was thinking more in those moments. too little, yes, but wit a bit of luck one big counterpunch could have put Joe on his ass again hadnt that cut occurred or was it treated better. After the seventh tho...it was ridiculous...or sad.Comment
