Photo: Roy Jones Jr., Enzo Maccarinelli Size Up in Russia - Boxing News
Looks like an announcement is imminent, who have we got for this one?
ha, dunno
its a tough one
could very easily go either way
I hate these fights, these old boys should fuck off into retirement. However, i'm sick enough to actually be interested in watching it.
Enzo by KO.
thing is, you say its old boys who should fuck off but form isnt too bad on either
enzo has not long since beat mckenzie who should be world champ now
and jones has some names on his record recently who could be classed as top end gate keeping journymen
if some up and commer had had the same results then youd be at least interested in whats next
Deffinitly intruiging!
Are they allowed to take peds in Russia? Is this Jones fascination with Russia lately?
For that reason I say Jones.
its an interesting pointQuote:

Good one. :DQuote:

That is beyond ridiculous. The super title is the premier one that they elevate champions toQuote:

God bless PUTIN!!!
Tough to call this one....Enzo isn't all that old, he just wasn't very good in the first place. No reason to think getting KOéd so many times has actually affected him that much, is what I mean. Might favour him for that reason, but Jones will hit him, so who knows.
They're fighting in Moscow. Christmas Day. No purse. This isn't about money.
He's not an up-and-comer he's a 46-year-old fossil that once was a great fighter. If an up-and-comer had fought his recent opposition it would show his team are reluctant to step him up in class.Quote:

I have a difficult time mustering up the energy to comment on any thread with his name on it. This has got to be the same kind of feeling as a fan that Robinson fans had when he started losing to guys like Harrington, Ayon and Hernandez.
Trouble is, Roy will probably knock Enzo out. The only guy in boxing with less punch resistance then he has.

I read in the paper that he was going to fight Tarver for the heavyweight title.
Should be a law against it, not right.Quote:

The only reason Jones wants to continue his career in Russia is what he can pump himself full of in the lead up to the fight.
He will probably look spectacular for a couple of rounds here.
Enzo Mac looks massive compared to RJJ
That nutty Russian promoter is behind it. The Al Haymon of Europe
I generally think you post purely for drama. But i think you have something here. I've been to 6 different gyms in Eastern Ukraine(basically Russia) and each time they ask you your goals and then say what concoction of steroids is best to meet them. All from Russia. You see people taking their injections like it is nothing. I don't use steroids so I ask what's wrong with just working hard and repeatedly I hear "we know everyone in the west uses them so why should we care". I've told them "yes, some use in the west but I have seen more steroid use in my short time here than I've seen in my entire life elsewhere". Honestly, in the west i have never witnessed anyone use steroids. I've recognised when people were using but to just see it as if it's like having afternoon tea is hard to get used to.Quote:

He wanted Tarver but Tarver got busted for the Cunningham fight and probably brought too much attention to PED use for his liking.
Jones will be juiced and will look good.
Didn't realize he was actually looking for Tarver 4 :-X I don't get this Russia thing, the proclamations and seeking citizenship? Especially now that he has said it is his last fight.
Roid Jones JrQuote:

They don't exactly magically turn you into a super sayain killing machine.
This is all speculation anyway.
No but there has to be a reason Jones and other fighters keep getting caught using them!Quote:
