Roy Jones vs Clinton Woods? HBO, look to England.

[Mr. Ryan]

Where have you gone Duran, Chavez, Hagler? What has boxing become?

okay first of all when you see a guy take a bunch of huge shots and stay on his feet, it isn't always because he can take a punch because of his body makeup, chin or whathaveyou.

in fact, 70% of the time, at least in my opinion, when you see a guy take shot after shot, they are doing just what i do.they are moving their head with the punch, like larry holmes used to do.he had excellent reflexes,right before he'd get punched he'd turn his head,turn with the punch. even if you move your head as you get punched it fourths the power of the shot.this effectively halves the power of the punch about to hit you, makes it feel about like a nerf football hitting you in the face at full speed rather than a gloved fist. check it out I made a movie on the art of taking a punch,fast forward past the first two dorm fights though.


thats how people **** around and get ko'd in the first round,they dont know how to absorb punches.its an art.

It sure is, Knife.

In fact, I watched Roy get KTFO again by Tarver last night. When I was watching it I couldn't help but think to myself "Why didn't Roy get some advice from Knife? He moves his head like the great Larry Holmes." You should work his corner, dude!

I think if Roy comes back focused and dedicated Tarver is the only LHW that can beat him. He's going to have to adopt some orthodox moves tho', no more **** fighting moves and lead rights all the time.

Come on, give me a break. Anyone who is overly susceptible to a knock out with a shot to the head has a bad chin. I understand that you are a die hard Jones fan and will do just about anything in your power to defend your hero, but come on! Bringing in the Dorin and De La Hoya ko's as defense was simply ridiculous.

A KO to the head hasn't got anything to do with your chin itself, but the entire head and ability to absorb a shot. The chin is just used as a symbol for that because it is the most vulnerable target on the head. It's even worse for Jones to get ko'ed by a temple shot as that isn't as vulnerable as a chin shot.

You never heard Duran or Chavez talking like this. They came to fight.

I wasnt a fan of Roy until recently and am not totally sold on the guy.

I UNDERSTAND THE SAYING OF HAVING A GOOD CHIN!

But that isnt what I am trying to say, to say Roy has a weak chin is crazy. He was in there with bigger and stronger opposition, Roy doesnt have a weak chin.

ROY JUST DOESNT HAVE IT!

It don't matter if he fought Tyson, Tua, and Frazier, if you don't get hit, then you never know.

Jones has been hit that is the thing though, Roy was also bullied around in the ring just like Johnson in the Telesco fight I believe.

You had me interested in what you had to say, and then you come back with some bull**** like David Telesco. Thats it, I'm going home. I got my new cell phone to play with. I don't have credit yet, so my dad put me on his Family Plan. It's Verizon, which I heard is the best. Plus I get In Plan free, and all my friends also have Verizon.

[BadMagick]

With shoes and clothes on right?

Vdiary-No but what I think he meant was that there are a lot of tough guys at 175 who will give the current champions a run for there money and is no need to come back with the decent competition their.

That's the official weight that Boxrec.com shows. I'd assume that it wasn't with shoes and clothes on.

[Super_Lightweight]

hmm

FYI, yes, Roy weighed in at 193 with clothes and shoes on, but weighed 199 the following night on the HBO scale.

Telesco used the same strategy Johnson did and just swarmed Roy on the ropes. That is a fact, to bad it didnt work out.
