    I thought Roy could pull it off, but I didn't know what was going to happen.

    But when I saw Roy in the ring (I remember he took his robe off and turned around and his back looked massive) I felt better about it.


    One thing's for sure; anyone who thinks Roy losing weight after that fight didn't effect him should watch the right hand Ruiz hits him with in the 1st round. That was a big shot, and Roy took it well and fired back.

    That was a great win for Jones. Its just too bad the toll moving back down took on him.

      My friend and I had talked about it a lot in school, when we heard that Jones was going to take on Ruiz. He said Ruiz was going to beat him, and I said that Jones could take him, because he was so much faster. I didn't think he could take too many of his shots, but I did think he could win.

      I also thought Jones would KO or TKO Johnson before 6.

        I thought that Ruiz was going to Ko him but I was dead wrong. Still, how come some posters say that Jones could Ko Ruiz? John Ruiz is a very rugged and tough fighter who has only been cleanly knocked down once since he started his string of important fights in 2000.

        Please don't bring back the same crap about David Tua. That was in 1996 or something.

          I knew Roy Jones was gonna win, cuz at the point of his career, he was considered unstoppable. However, I did feel nervous because he was gonna face a man taller and much bigger than him, and also outweighs him by 30lbs. When I saw the first round of the fight, I was thinking maybe this will be a tough fight because Ruiz stunned him with two big punches, but Roy kept hitting back. After I saw the second round, I knew for sure Roy was gonna dominate.

            Yea I got the same feeling as most. I was a little afraid of how he would take Ruiz's power but once the fight got started I wasnt to worried.

              i knew roy would handle ruiz, i won so many bets. all my freinds/family were sayin roy was dumb for going to heavy and that once ruiz hit him with a good shot the fight was over.


              the most nervous i was for a fight was tarver vs jones 2 because tarver pushed roy to the limit and i thought it would be very close fight like the first one.... i hate that fight especially cause roy looked so good in the first round but....

                Yea I know what you mean. I was so up in his invincibleness after the first round where he dominated. Then boom and I was sitting slackjawed unable to accept what had happened. And then I managed to convince myself it was a lucky punch (though i still think it was a bit of a lucky punch) and was sunk after the defeat to Glen. The worst thing is that in his prime he could have school both of them...

                  i know i couldnt believe what i had seen, i wanted to kill someone but i think thats what tarver came there to do, he knew he wasnt going to let the fight go to the judges so he timed jones perfectly and landed a bomb. tarver just picked his spot.

                    I wish I had a dollar for every time someone told me that before the fight.

                    I would be a rich bastard, who is really "rich".
