How did you react to Jones getting Iced?

[Dorian]

So I wasn't alone? Phew..

I seriously said "whoa.." and I didn't say another word for about 2-3 hours, went to sleep, woke up, didn't say much.

I was watching it with my dad(Rjjr fan since..1994?) and he didn't say a word also..

[Dorian]

not to sound like a smartass but i thought montell griffn was his frist loss lol

but yeah that loss to tarver was devesting

I know he had a "L" on his record but it was a DQ, Tarver was the first to seriously hurt and beat Roy Jones.

[Shattered Jaw]

that's what it was.

Nope. It was a perfect punch.

Pac did exactly the same shot against Hatton and he's praised as a legend for it. Tarver does exactly the same thing against Jones and it's lucky? Haha.

Serious question, how did you guys react when Roy Jones Jr lost his first official fight and got iced by Antonio Tarver? To me, it was and still is the most shocking moment I've ever seen in a fight. I couldn't believe it for days, weeks.


Reed: Nooo

you're right, dogg. it's definitely "up there." i didn't see it live, i got home and saw it one the ESPN "sportsticker." had i saw it live tho, it probably would be THE most shocking boxing moment i've seen.


seeing cotto take that knee to margarito, and lose his first fight, was a big shock to me too...i saw that live tho.

Of course everyone's time comes at one point but I just couldn't believe when it did for Roy.

[Dorian]

Tarver seemed more shocked then us to be honest, he couldn't do the post fight interview right because he lost his voice.

I enjoyed it immensly. I was tired of Roy saying he could beat the Klitschko's and all that mess he talked after beating Ruiz.

He just appeared delusional.

And I am a minority on this board, because I was a Tarver fan for a long time so it was especially sweet.

Full props to RJJ for his career though, and manning up and still fighting after some brutal losses.

I respect the guy very much overall.

Wasn't Roy Jones really close to fighting Mike Tyson? Then I believe he was offered a Lennox Lewis fight.

He had a lot of options but decided to go back down for Tarver and ruined his body, it's just a shame that we never saw the true potential/results of Roy Jones at Heavyweight.

There was even talk about a Corrie Sanders fight.

Roy wasn't made for heavy.... He got annoying for a while there.


The Tarver ko was 6 months after his first fight with Tarver so he had a year to go back down to the proper weight, a weight he fought at after as well.

He fought Tarver the second time 13 months after he fought Ruiz.

Just saying bro.
