I can't wait for the movie version

"Undisputed 4: The Ballad of Roy Jones"

Seriously how long is if before Roy Jones is doing pit matches in a Russian prison (the plot of undisputed 2 pretty much).

Get over it...The bout took place and people paid to see it. If Roy had loss nothing would've been said and the guy would have Jones title. Sounds like someone was left out of the loop regarding money and now they want to say it was unsanctioned . Why this didn't come out before the fight took place? Answer: they was hoping Roy would lose but when he didn't, they had to drop back and punt. Roy got the W....period!

Mikhail Denisov, president of the Eurasian Professional Boxing Federation and also president of the Russian Professional Boxing Board, says the fight was indeed properly sanctioned. Seems like the World Boxing Council owes Jones an apology for speaking against the fight before properly getting all the facts together.
