He was dropped by either Lou Devalle or David Telesco back in the day.
If u never see the footage, he was hurt but managed to hold for the rest of the round.
it was lou devalle and it was a flash knockdown, jones was never in much trouble after that and continued beating de valle afterwards.
Roy has a chance to win this fight, just as long as he still has *some* reflexes left. Like I’ve said before, Roy Jones missing a step is still faster than Anotonio Tarver. I’m sorry, but that’s the simple truth.
One thing people who haven’t boxed before need to consider is what it feels like getting caught flush by a guy who has power. Tarver hit him with one of the best counters I’ve ever seen. I strongly doubt many fighters would have been standing after that, it was that good. As far as Johnson goes, after watching that fight a few times, it almost looked like he got punched on the ear. Nothing messes up your equilibrium more than that, trust me.
I’m not trying to find excuses for Roy, just simply stating another point of view.
Personally, I’d love to see Roy win, but this is going to be a tough one. If he comes back rested and in shape, he definitely has a good chance of winning…don’t forget he has probably the best left hook of the past 10 years…
