Its sad really, def one of my favorite fighters, i was hoping for this not to happen, i really hope the man retires
Can't finish on a loss
Just seen the KO on YouTube, and it really is a bad one.
Very sad to see, its a shame to see one of boxing's greatest talents so far gone.
This was a particularily brutal KO too. Worse than the Glen Johnson one even
yeah i am upset, he isone of the fighters i am actually attached to, i wish he would just retire, tyson finlly did it, hopefully roy does to, it'll be better for him and better for boxing
I just seen the last round in which he was looking winded. It is still weird to see Roy covering up so much and not letting his hands go. I will say that it looked like another bad ko and he looked out on his feet. Roy please please retire; Take up training or do your color commentary because the sun and moon have set on your boxing career.
shit I just seen it. Had I been watching that live I would have feared the worst
I fear he has gone too far down the Holyfield route though and will think it was an off night. Hope I am wrong :-\
'Care to share the link guys?
thanks for not giving away the fight result and putting spoilers in your thread title
I've been bollocked for it in the past !
Oops. Nevermind. It's in the other thread already.
I was gonna say the same thing. :mad:Quote:

Spoiler? I guess what's the point.
Watched it live earlier, I was like, OH SHIT, THIS COULD BE BAD. I would plead with RJJ to retire, he just has to, otherwise it'll end bad. Lebedev is good, but wouldn't have touched Roy in his prime, not a chance. He shouldn't be sanctioned to fight anymore.Quote:

Not so cocky now RJJ? Pay you taxes next time that way you dont have to catch another beat down because your in money trouble. Good for Lebedev, I thought he could have gotten the nod against Huck. He has one of the biggest heads in boxing though, its a huge target.
Spoiler could have helped but never mind I've seen it now and it's sad to see him still in the ring so far past it getting knocked out like that. Steve Smoger is usually a good ref but he was slow to stop it. Only reason I can think of is Roy needing money, no other reason to be in the. 2 - 4(2 ko) in his last 6 fights.
It's Sad :(
Thats exactly what I thought mate. The few of us watcing it were throwing around Rocky 4 jokes and when it happened I really thought he'd been Apollo'd :-\Quote:

No way, yeah if you only look at his prime, but thats not the whole picture. Thats selective objectivity. B-Hop wins against Pascal tonight and keeps going and its all but cemented. B-Hops also got some losses that you could say were close enough to have gone the other way. RJJ has what 1 questionable loss to Tarver, out of 8 losses. B-Hop has 3 questionable losses and a loss in his first pro fight. I also think his fight against RJJ was closer than the judges saw it, I think it could have been a draw possibly. If you watch that fight without the announcers kissing RJJ's ass you can see a close fight.Quote:

Actually they weren't. They were saying that both men were too respectful of the others abilities and neither really wanted to take the lead. Also Bhop after his first fight with JT said "This wasn't like when I fought Roy and I KNEW I had lost the fight, I won this fight"....Not saying Roy whooped him, but it was clear won the fight and a UD was the correct call.Quote:

Because I like BHOP, a lot. Just don't think he's better p4p historically than RJJ.
Smoger should have stepped in man, he sort of went too and then just instead stood next to Roy and let him get KTFO. That last flush shot Roy took was so uneccessary, he was like a falling oak, almost a bit of a cheap shot really, but he was technically still on his feet so I guess not.
Why not "go into it" I'm pretty tempted to start a thread on whos legacy was better to get a census view on the topic.Quote:

Yeah I'm buzzed,, I can get a bit touchy, lol my bad.
Damn shame for Jones. He seems to have a thing for getting knocked out. It is now bordering on Kid Thunder levels of notoriety. It isn't "Hey Jones Jr is fighting" anymore, it's more "When is he going to get stopped?".
Just give it a rest. There are no happy endings in this sport.
