    Roy is making a big mistake

    Who is advising Roy Jones to fight again? Someone fire that man before he gets Roy killed. He has no business climbing into the ring with Antonio Tarver again. The last time we saw Roy, excuse me, the last two times we saw Roy he had been brutally KO'd. He didn't lose two close fights that could have gone either way, he was knocked out, actually he was knocked the **** out! I didn't see anything, not one thing that (in his last two fights) would lead me to believe he has even the slightest chance of beating Tarver. Roy isn't just a few quarts low on ego, the red light is on. If you were Roy would you feel confident about your chances?
    No, no way. You'd have huge doubts in your head and thats when fighters get hurt. And when Roy gets hurt, lets find out who was advising him.

    I thought he was doing well againt Tarver until he got KO'd, he was doing some good work unlike the first fight. But i'm not sure how he will respond after the Johnson KO, he could be making a mistake coming back but its interesting enough for me to watch it.

      I think hes had plenty of time to recover from the fights, and the sitting out has rejuvinated his will to b the greatest again, his fire has been lit once again, we will see him reak havoc on Tarver this time, he may even come back better than b4. Someone like Roy needs good motivation the public has given that to him by doubting him.

        he was doin fine in that 1st round cuz Taver dint throw a single shyt punch in that round. If Tarver had acted in that round, Tarver coulda taken that 1st round.

        Round 2, Tarver decided to werk! Jones coulnt take 5% of what Tarver has brought fo that fight.

        Johnson jest destroyed Jones. Jones mighta won 1 round, 2 maybe. Then KTFO by a punch in 9 that IMO aint even hard enough to do that to a good fighta.


        side note: Come to think of it. Tarver is kinda like Johnson. He's aggressive, throws lots of punches. The only thing is that Tarver is mo skilled, gots a killer jab and hits harder. Jones strategy will be mo focused on surviving ratha than actually layin a beating on Tarver.

            I actually think Roy’s got a shot, because Tarver looked awful in his last fight, I think he's right there for the taking, but Roy should retire.

                What is bad about Tarver is that his stamina does not appear to be great. He fights in spurts, it seems alot of the time. If Tarver is going to win he has to keep up constant agression. If he sits back and looks to land one left hand counter he will lose. Roy will win a UD. Roy will successfully stay away from Tarver's left in the center of the ring IMO. Tarver has to bully and outwork Jones to win which like he did in the first fight, but more relentlessly. I dont know if has the stamina for it though.
