Talked to my uncle about Roy today

[Dude]

As some of you know, I live in Pensacola, Florida. My uncle, referee Tommy Kimmons, has been in boxing for a few decades. He compiled an amateur record of 350 some-odd wins and only 9 losses. Reffed Casamayor, Robin Reid, Brathwaite, Ouma, Lacy undercard, a Hatton fight, and so on. Anywho, he's "in the know" I guess you would say about what goes on in Roy's camp. He knows all the boxing ppl in this town and so he knows little trinkets that might be interesting to some ppl, or maybe not. But anywho, he confirmed to me that Roy is bringing his dad back into his camp to help him get ready for Tarver.

I told my uncle that I hope Roy is training for this fight and he assured me that Roy is with seriousness. I also asked him what does he really think Roy's chances are of winning this fight. He said "better than 50". So, anyway, some good news for the Roy fans out there. If I learn anything else I'll post it.

He also mentioned that he was scratched at the last minute from reffing Reid-Lacy, and said it was a mistake because the ref who did it is a nice guy but did a horrible job (which yes, he did). He's supposed to ref on the Tarver-Jones III card, maybe he'll get lucky and land the main event.

If your uncle is from Pensacola as well and knows some people in Roys camp well it is VERY unlikely that he will referee the bout, dont you think so?

Anyway thx for the information. But I fear your uncle might be wrong about the prediction. Roy should have stayed retired. For a man who mainly relied on his speed and reflexes he's getting too old. It shows some class that he wants the fight with Tarver but I don't think he'll stand much of a chance.

what's your uncle's name?

He already told you his name: Tommy Kimmons.

[Smack]

I think theres a good chance that Roy could win.

Tarver is lazy by nature, so it would be very like him to basically piss away this fight. I could easily see Roy squeaking one out, shocking enough.

ha ha ha ha ha. Hey exig is that the clown Nas or Mickey Mouse. ha ha

Ok if this is SliqueJab/ SliqueHook then talk to the left cos you aint right.

And if this is anyone else then explain what the **** you mean cos im baffled by this???

[Tarver is my dad]

Roy needs to train for this fight very hard cuz my dad's training hard too...

[Truth]

Roys gonna suck a big ****, don't get your hopes up Super Lightweight, he's gonna choke like the little ***** that he is.

Get out here with that, Roy fans keep your faith!!

hmm

That probably wouldn't be a factor. My uncle is really respected as a ref and is one of few American refs who has reffed some big fights overseas. If it is a factor though it would be cuz of Tarver not liking the idea. However, it's not like my uncle has a Roy flag out his ass, it's just that since he's in the world of pro boxing and happens to live in Pcola that ppl inform him of things. A lot of ppl know ppl in Roy's camp. Like I said, not very big town. Not small, but not big enough to keep boxing ppl from being in the know about what is going down with Roy.
