Oh Roy..you really have lost it..Roy Jones Jr Vs Kimbo Slice MMA Dec 2012

Looks to be signed and sealed. I know this particular article isn't particularly a reliable source (they state RJJ's last victory was against Calzaghe lol) but I saw many more news articles with the same headline.

I fear Roy is going to end up like Ali..

actually it appears to be a boxing match rather than MMA. This favours Jones and he should be able to handle Slice under those circumstances (I hope!).

Yes I saw this fight being in negotiations on boxingscene but hoped it would not come to fruition.

Kimbo seems a nice guy making the most of what he's got, but he's a novelty act in boxing.

Its sad that Roy is considering taking this fight and even sadder that we can't be sure that he would even win it ! :-\

I'm guessing this will be happening at the 'Who The Hell Cares Arena' in Bumfuck Nowheresville, USA

I hate to agree

Kimbo destroys roy if it doesnt go past 3 rds.

OK granted RJJ has fallen off dramatically, but have you guys forgotten that we're talking about Kimbo 'I got KO'd with a jab' Slice??? Not just any jab mind you, a jab from an MMA fighter, who was a full weightclass below Kimbo & fighting on short notice.

Kimbo is overrated, inactive and overweight. (not so much overweight now)

Not much of a PPV, so do not see it happening.

I'd want to watch for sure.

I would be hoping Roy could revive the old magic and give a slow and clumsy Kimbo a boxing lesson.

To see Roy get destroyed would be a sad day for me.

This is an exhibition bout, meaning there probably won't be a winner. Roy likes Jamaica and is helping out with the 50th anniversary of its independence celebration.
To be on the safe side I'm picking simultaneous left hook KO blows in the second or third round.
What do you think?

Roy better damn well count his blessings that has has scraped and patch worked his way back to "mention" as far as the sport, he sure as hell would be a fool to entertain this circus act. Kimbo makes Butterbean look a consistent and capable professional boxer.

Roy. Retire for fooks sake. Shut up and call fights. Thanks for the memories.

Roy will probably smoke him off his beard but I can't see the point of this fight... when one who used to be an elite must fight a freak show to gather attention, it means that the sun went east a lonnng time ago.

Roy needs an intervention.

End of Story.

He can do it like the old Roy, we saw it against Lacy but he has become lazy

:rolleyes:

Roy getting beat up by guys like Ledbedev is one thing, but he could not possibly have slipped enough to lose to Slice. Butterbean would have decimated Kimbo. I had quadruple by-pass surgery last Dec. 9th, and if I could get some good sparring over the next 8 weeks, I'd beat Slice this Dec. 9th.

Slice is dangerous in the first round..the other eleven are his weak points.

Sad just hope Roy does not get hurt.

Physically, not sure that he's not already. Legacy wise, sharing a ring with failed gimmick doesn't help.
