Was that the inside fighting Roy did where he had Tarver hurt - BUT DIDN'T CONTINUE THE ATTACK?

Unfortunately, that's what he's speaking about.

hey superlightweight...you were there at the fight. what were your observations. i saw it on television but i want to know what your perspective was since you were actually there...

btw-i had a funny feeling when roy came out smiling on his walk out...not a sign that he's totally into a fight.

hmm

Well it was a good crowd to me because 75% were rooting for Roy. Roy got big cheers every time he threw. Tarver got booed big time although I didn't boo him.

My observations...I was cautious leading up to the fight about Roy. I tried not to get my hopes up. I was fairly successful at this but during the first half of the fight it really seemed Roy would eek out a decision. But, he proved th be just as tired as Tarver in the late rounds and couldn't do anything. His punches definitely did not have the pop of yesteryear from my viewpoint, but they were pretty fast. His reflexes, footspeed, and chin are not as good as they used to be although still not horrible. His handspeed is pretty much as good as ever it's just his REACTION time that has slowed. In the 11th it seemed Roy was gonna get KO'd which was my greatest fear but he hung tough and even walked Tarver down in that same round. All in all it was a mediocre fight but I was just glad Roy had his moments and didn't get KO'd. Not getting my hopes up proved to be the right thing to do.
Tarver is getting old now as well I think and he will lose to a tough active guy like Adamek or maybe even Johnson if they fight again.

Basically, Roy needs to retire. Tony Dorsett once said to Emmitt Smith that the 1st thing to go is the willingness to get hit. Even though that was for football, the same applies to boxing.
