jones out cold

[Dr Cynical]

When he beat everyone with his raw skills, why did he need the heart that you say he lacked?

What good is a fighter with no heart?

Man, I was lookin for a good ight but didn't expect a knockout. Guess it was just like Hopkins said, Glen would beat Jones. I don't think Hopkins can look forward to a rematch with Roy, it's not gonna mean anything. And Roy sure as hell isn't getting a fight against Vitali, Tyson, or any of the big name heavyweights at this point. Man, I don't event think Tarver is interested in a rubber match now. And if he is, it's just to complete Roy's humiliation.

When Hopkins say this?

When Hopkins say this?

Damn!!!!!! I missed the fight! Damn time difference between the Staes and Europe. Whose got the fight???? I need to see it. Was it a good fight? Did RJJ have a chance in any of the earlier rounds to win? Why did he lose? Did he get tired?? Lose his quickness??

These are my thoughts of last nights fight that I am repeating from another thread:

This was hands down the fight of the year so far!

The fight was great! Nonstop action. both guys were landing lots of shots. Johnson was throwing furiously. Jones was more measured with his shots, but he was scoring with lots of powerful, clean body shots, as well as head shots as the fight progressed.

It was very disappointed to see Roy go down like that. He clearly was not the old Roy in terms of speed and movement. In his prime, most of Johnsons punches would have missed. Roy needs to forget Tarver.

But it doesn't necessarily mean he's finished. Honestly, I don't think Jone's optimum weight is lightheavy. He could move down to Supermiddle and continue a successful career for several more years if he wanted too.

I also feel fairly certain he could still defeat BH. Maybe that should be his last big bout. He could then retire on an impressive win if he so desires.

I'd prefere not to see the greatest fighter of the last 15 years go out like this, but even if he does he is still a HOF boxer, who had unreal skills in his prime.

Could this really be the problem?? Damn, I am shocked that RJJ got his ass whopped again. Especially after witnessing him man handle Ruiz like he did. Roy should have stayed at Heavyweight. I don't think his fully recovered from the beating Tarver gave him during their last two meetings.

Oh definately heart is one of the most important aspect of a boxer. But when a person isn't rich in heart and still wins, then you don't really need it as much as someone who's skills are mediocre. Works for Gatti, roy was so good in his prime, he didn't need heart.

Raw talent can only get you so far.
That's why he needed the hype machine he had.
But he still knew he could get ****ed up which is why he avoided people.
I'm just glad to see the ******* get KO'd two times in a row.
