5 - Jones dominates the 5th with the straight right hand, backing up hanshaw constantly... hanshaw has no answer for it, it's too quick for him... hanshaw looks really flabby and seems to be slowing down to me... maybe lack of conditioning

Next time post a link

Looks like Roy Jones isn't as shot as people make out he is. Has anyone noticed that every time Roy fights people say he is going get put on his ass again? But some one like Gatti, people still think he has something left in the tank (guess it ll change after tonight tho). Roy Jones looked decent tonight especially since he hasn't fought in nearly a year, hopefully he will take another couple of fights before a big fight tho because i didn't like what i saw when he was pinned on the ropes and an A level fighter will take him out. Roy has a lot left tho his speed is still there and his left hook looked mean just hope he becomes a little more active before its too late

I admit I was wrong. I wish the best to Jr!

Thanks Just a Boxing Fan for the round by round breakdown, this and the Molitor fights I've yet to see.

hi, can anyone upload the Roy Jones JR vs Anthony Hanshaw fight
thanks in advance

I just checked Youtube and it was not uploaded yet, But it will eventually make its way there. I will post it as soon as I see it.

This fight may lend credence to the argument that jones was not too far off his prime when he was ko'd by tarver and johnson. i think the most credible explanation for his sudden downfall was that he always had a glass jaw, but he was either able to knock out lesser opponents before they challenged him or his tremendous speed prevented him from getting hit in any meaningful manner.

just a split second loss in reaction time resulted in his glass jaw being exposed. and unlike other great offensive champions with this tragic flaw (hearns and norris) he was not blessed (or cursed) with great competition. i think jones always knew this, and this helps explain his relatively conservative approach against his toughest opponents (hopkins and tooney).

Jones, Hanshaw postfight presser!

July 15, 2007

By Damien St. Pierre

Murad Muhammad started off the post fight press conference with a call of "He's back, and The Gulf is back!" Muhammad was pleased with the announced attendance of over 9,000 fans.

Anthony Hanshaw was short and sweet when he arrived at the podium. He praised Jones but had disagreed with the judging. "I thought I won the fight, I applied more pressure. Roy might have won 2 or 3 rounds. I eat, sleep and dream boxing. I will be back on top."

On the other hand, Roy Jones, Jr was not at a loss for words calling out Glen Johnson, Antonio Tarver, Felix "Tito" Trinidad and even Wladimir Klitschko. Jones also said he would be willing to meet Jermaine Taylor at 168lbs. "We can do this without HBO or Showtime, all I need are the fans." Jones commented on a prospective January date with Felix "Tito" Trinidad saying, " I can't wait that long for Tito."

He was very respectful of Anthony Hanshaw saying, "Anthony Hanshaw gave the world a fight, a fight that is good for boxing. Hanshaw came and and gave 130% and I appreciate that."

When asked what was next on his plate Jones answered, "I'm not going home and get out of shape. I would like to fight within the next month and a half. I would love to come back to the Gulf Coast. Y'all have been the best fans."

Jones rated his performance as "not too bad." He said he has never gone into a fight at 100%, and this fight was no different. He received 4 stitches after being elbowed during a pickup basketball game five days prior to the fight.

Jones ended his time at the podium with some good words about his opponent, "People always talk about the passing of the torch, Anthony is a guy I could pass the torch to when my time is done."

Roy looked kind of ok, but he was on the ropes a la Glen Johnson fight the whole damn time. he just seems obsessed with the god damn rope a dope trick , when he gets in the middle of the ring he does well.

I don't really know with Jones, I am not sure if he still just loves playing with people for 12 rounds and learning what he can , or he just doesn't have the power anymore to knock people out.

Also his body aesthetically looks quite weak compared to his past 175lb days, but maybe thats just the age.
