At the time, Roy was one of my favorite fighters ever. I was a huge fan...when Tarver said "got any 'scuses tonight Roy?", I even got scared...lol. I was absolutely shocked, and hated Tarver for a while, but i also have gotten over it quite a while ago.
I think highly of Tarver now. I think he's a great commentator.
hes my all time fav boxer and reason why i got into the sport and started watching back in 93 94. i mean everyone loses sometimes but the way he lost. you would thought he beat tarver while at his worst and jsut knew he was gonna kill tarver in rematch like montell griffen rematch. the bad thing was me n friends ordered it and when the main event came on the satelite went out i was so pissed. i read the round by round on here boxingscene. round one roy jones looking good beating tarver easy round 2 same thing then bam he got knockedout. i was was quiet while my friends was like whats going on. i whispered its over.
It ****ing ******!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone that loved Roy Jones was shocked and done for the night, I was like aight im going home. It was a somber moment, lol. I can take it better now, but back then it was terrible, same as it would have been to see Jordan swept in the finals and shut down completely.
its arguably the most shocking moment Ive ever seen as a Fan. I didnt like Roy at the time so i was happy but My hatred for Tarver would eventually drown that all out.
