This is nuts, he's fighting under three jurisdictions. A fighter at his age shouldn't be allowed this kind of back to back activity even if its against tomato cans. Love Roy Jones Jr will forever be a fan but this is flat out ludicrous.

There should be a bit of a gap between fights, it's true. The three fights are happening in a very condensed period of time, allowing for no recovery before resuming training. If he breezes through his opponents in easy fights it's no problem but if either of the first two fights are tough, I doubt he'll move on to the next fight as planned.

I don't know why everyone is bashing roy... If the dude wants to still fight, I got no problem with him fighting bums.. What I don't want to see is roy vs huck, kovolev, etc..
Maybe bj flores or Shuemenov is the highest caliber dude roy should fight..

Here's Roy talking about the gravity suit being his secret weapon to get back in top form right before his last fight. The Gravity Plus suit is supposed to make your body recover quicker from workouts.




See Jim Foster give Ellie a demonstration with the gravity plus suit.
