Garbage fight Omar Sheika is totally shot and even at his best, he was only goodish. It shouldn't be a bad style match up, it should be exciting but its still a sad fight to see.Quote:

RJJ was unbelievable in his prime Omar Sheika in his prime, was only ever an exciting goodish fighter. If RJJ was in his prime this fight would of never of happened, seems like a pointless/sad fight to me. But action wise you should get your money's worth.Quote:

I think Jones is way more shot than Sheika. I like Sheika he makes for exciting fights, blood and guts. I think he still has it in him to give good runs to the upper eschelon. Furthermore, Jones Jr. is slowly becoming a bit of an ODLH, won't be long now until he's interrupting relevant fights so he and his opponents will have good paydays. I hope this fight doesn't happen.
Hopefully a retirement fight for Roy. Certainly not an easy win.
Does Jones carry anywhere near the clout, marketability, and money-making potential as ODH though?Quote:

Roy Jones Jr. vs. Omar Sheika On March 21st
I hope not, Roy looked that shot against Calzaghe that i think even Omar might have a chance at beating him!Quote:

:p
hasn't he retired vs is he still fighting?
I think think the Calzaghe fight was as bad as people are making it out to be. He was competitive for the first half of the fight against one of the best fighters in the world.Quote:

I think it's being held at the "F*ck knows where" Arena too;D
In my eyes it was more like 2 or 3 rounds max. Then he barely threw a punch. If Calzaghe was a big hitter Roy could have been badly damaged. I can just see him beating Sheika then getting in with someone good who can bang and being ruined completely. It was sad to see arguably the best fighter of my time nothing but a shell of his former self.Quote:

Maybe you should watch that fight again, Calzaghe landed very few solid punches upstairs, mostly glancing punches off the gloves, and most of the early rounds Jones was countering effectively, and in some cases he deserved to win rounds. He competitive in almost all of the first 6 rounds.
Point is Roy lost bad and threw nothing after halfway and has bleeding and bruised against Calzaghe who doesnt throw bombs. What would beating Sheika prove? If he wins big deal, if he loses or gets KO'd it kills his legacy even more and potentially gets him hurt. He slurs alreadyQuote:

No please call it a day. I hope this isn't true and if it is just that he wants to go out with a win in front of his home fans!
i thought jones retired already?
The fights in Pensacola, wouldnt be surprised if its Roys farewell fight. Sheika is a tough guy and has a chance, but most likely Roy would get the win as he seems to have most of the advantages. If is looking at the fight as a way to climb back to the top, im surprised he picked Sheika. Like I said, I think he taking his bows.
It's sad how he is going down the ladder like this...Isn't Omar shot himself?.....
Roy should hold his head up and walk away with pride yeah.Back in the day he would have toyed with a Sheika but honestly as rough as he looked last outing I'd venture to call this a 50/50.Sheika has been inactive but always strong,has some pop.Hope its a 'fairwell' type fight.Quote:

Agreed on all pointsQuote:

Jones going for the lowest ppv buy record i guess, this is fnf quality at best.
I haven't seen Sheika in years but I find it hard to believe he could be as shot as Roy, he could have a real chance.

Theres a lot of sentimental cry babies here that forget about Roys gimmee fights back in the day, be glad hes actually manning up and taking competetive bouts at last;D
Jones should retire after the victory. Please.
