Next fight:
November 8, 2003. Roy Jones, Jr. (48-1, 38 KO) vs. Antonio Tarver (21-1, 17 KO) for Jones' Undisputed Light Heavyweight Championship. This was Jones' first fight back at 175 after coming back down from heavyweight.
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | total
Jones | 9 | 9 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 9 | 9 | 10 | 9 | 10 | 10 | 115
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Tarver | 10 | 10 | 9 | 9 | 9 | 9 | 10 | 10 | 9 | 10 | 9 | 9 | 113
Jones had very little energy in this fight. Not much movement, no snap on his punches. But I gave him 7 rounds because he outworked Tarver.
In most rounds, Tarver would just stand there and do NOTHING for 2 and a half minutes, and then he would unleash one flurry, with some of the punches getting thru and many being blocked.
When the compubox numbers are similar, I'm going to give the round to the guy who controls the vast majority of the 3 minutes, not the guy who throws one or two flurries and just stands still for the rest of the round. Tarver whined and complained after this fight but he needed to look in the mirror because he let himself get beat by a guy who was nowhere near 100%.
Thats was my exact scorecard as well come on Sweetpea lets get this going again i missed this thread.

I've been planning to start this up again for a while. I've just been waiting for all this year's big fights to wrap up. Now that we're in a slow period, I'll start it up again.
You'll see a new thread from me in the next day or two.
