I had no idea this fight even happened til I saw it online. I mean this would have been a hell of a slug fest a few years ago, now both men are past their prime. Especially Richard Hall.
But, surprisingly "Destroyer" knocked Bell out in the 2nd !
Tried finding this on youtube, but couldn't.
Hall stops Bell in second round - Boxing - Yahoo! Sports
Hall best days have long been gone. But the power never really leavesQuote:

Yes, that was arguably Roy Jone's most dominant performance. It was amazing.Quote:

Hall showed tremendous heart and courage in that fight, and thats what made me a fan of his.
His win over Julian Letterlough was sensational, if not a bit of a premature stoppage.
Also the fight he was caught and fined for using steroids. What a coincidence eh...Quote:

BOTH men tested positive for steroids and the test was later thrown out.Quote:

What a coincidence that both guys would test positive ONE time in their careers.
That test was nonsense and we both know it Ross.
Jones didn't need steroids to dominate a no defense, upright, slow footed slugger like Richard Hall.
Bell reminds me of Antwon echols
Bell has been done since those two fights with Mormeck so I dont even count this fight. It's sad that he's still fighting. He shouldnt even have fought Adamek cuz he was done even back then too. Bell in his prime would have torn Hall a new asshole.
If Roy plans on fighting, he should just face Bell. They're about even right now.
You act as though Richard Hall is an up and comer taking advantage of poor Bell ?Quote:

Sounded like a fair fight to me.
Yea, Bell WAS a champ which was years ago and he's been a shell of his form self for awhile now.Quote:

Bell has taken far more punishment in his career than Hall and he's fallen alot more..
All Im saying is, a prime Bell would have beaten any version of Hall.
I agree he would have. Bell is A LOT bigger man than Richard Hall, and he won at a higher level than Hall ever did.Quote:

Both are legitimate tough guys and exciting power punchers, and I'm glad Hall got a win for a change.
I honestly think Hall has taken just as much or more punishment as of late, I mean he's getn beat up by a different prospect every few months :p
They did get fined.Quote:
