Roy Jones- Badi Ajamu weigh-in Thread

[Super_Lightweight]

My suggestion is to watch both. If Roy loses, I'm going to try to feel very sad about it and possibly even cry. It'd be neat to know others might be crying with me. I'm not confident he will win, but I'd like to dream anyway. Roy is that far gone in my view.

This fight is just pointless. It's on PPV and it's in ****ing Idaho. Only suckers will buy this card (and that includes all Roy fans). I know nothing about Bad Ajamu but from the clips I've seen he's got good power but he can't throw a straight punch and he's slow. He seems to be a pretty big, tough customer though. He'll knock Roy out.

As a huge Roy fan I see it just like you.

Could be possible that Roy plays a little waiting game..

I'd be ordering the fight for one reason. Not to see Roy make a comeback. Not to expect the old 'RJ'. I'd be watching the fight because I have a sneaking su****ion it might be his last fight, and despite where he is now in his career, Roy Jones, Jr. was amazing....and I wouldn't mind saying I watched his last fight. Maybe he can win and go out on top...but...I just want to show a bit of support. He obviously is having problems hanging up the gloves.

If he loses but gives a good account of himself and gives the fans a good show like a champion with guts would do, then it will be a good last hurrah. If he goes out like a chump, then I'll have absolutely ZERO respect for him.

Is it worth paying the value-priced money to watch Jones, Jr. in his possible last fight, or should I just go with Boxing after Dark? What are you guys doing, and what suggestions do you have?

id go w/the RJJ fight....i know i am....but then again id pay $49.99 for any RJJ fight if i had to.....

25 isn't much for RJJ's possible last fight. Also, we should respect Roy no matter what. Everyone cannot end in a blaze of glory. This is not a Rocky movie. In fact, most boxers stay in the business too long. Ali did it, but we should all respect his career. If we saved our 'respect' for only those fighters that retire on 'time' then we'd have no one left to respect.

So aptly said I have to throw Karma at you like a monkey throwing poo. Ha. Very, very good point, SL.
