Jones Jr vs Gunn. Introductions as we speak.
This is pretty bad so far. Roy jab tapping with the jab. A big hook that was so slow missed completely. Roy on slightly better activity. 1-0.
Gunn is just following Jones around. Jones getting some confidence in this round. Leading with the right & smiling. 2-0.
Jones winning with the jab. Glorified sparring at this stage. Jones hanging the right out there and then suckering Gunn with the jab. Gunn reacting to every faint. A nice right landed near the end by Jones.
Much of the same. Jones tying Gunn up against the ropes and looking out at the crowd. 4-0. I can already hear the chants for Jones vs Green II.
I feel sorry for anyone who paid for this. Roy letting his hands go a bit more this round. The left is working as an uppercut and a hook. Another big right landed. Then back to clowning him behind the jab. 5-0.
Hate to say but anyone 'close to Roy' isn't watching out for him at this stage. The feet twitching after Enzo was the exit doors alarm going off, again. Wasn't Gunns brother a wrestler or something?
Jones could fight guys like this for another 10 years. Following him around. Throwing punches that land short. A right hand landed again and a left uppercut got through. Gunn finally gets close to Jones towards the end of the round against the ropes but Jones tying up safely. 6-0.
Jab reset, jab reset, jab reset x4 or 5 times, straight right repeat. Throw in a left hook or uppercut. Faint to make Gunn look stupid. Smile at him. Jones letting his go more now. Left and rights. A big right wobbled Gunn in the last 30seconds then Jones is back behind the jab again to end the round. 7-0.
Gunn apparently has a busted nose and it's stopped at the beginning of the eighth.
And the new WBF Cruiserweight champion of the world :vd:
Moderators feel free to delete this thread. Lets try to erase any record of that 'Fight'.
Be happy for Roy.Stubborn old fool won't quit and this is likely the closest he's going to come to a "title".Good for him.Quote:

Funny, it didn't look so enjoyable when this happened.
Either way, Gunn also seems to believe Jones still has a solid future in the sport.
"I think he'd beat 90 percent of people in the world," Gunn said. "I've fought some good men in my life. Great men. He's the greatest man I ever fought in my life."
As for who Jones could fight next, one possibility is 44-year-old Imamu Mayfield (26-10-2, 19 KOs), who has only fought twice in the last eight years but Mayfield was a world cruiserweight titlist in from 1997-98.

I'd still give 90% of men in the world a punchers chance at this point, if they had a full training camp.
I'm just happy that Roy didn't take any more major head trauma and I hope he finally hangs up his gloves and focuses his energy on other things like commentating. RJJ is one of the saddest examples of a fighter staying around too long.
Hey props to a consummate professional. But all it does it convince him that risking more punches is a good thing and the levels are bit raised next time. Unfortunately it also see's a once great champion and try to legitimize yet another joke sanctioning body.Quote:

The sad thing is the accumulation of the damage hes sustaining doesn't show itself for a little while. Depression, mood swings, insomnia, vertigo, deafness, blindness...

Maybe a combination of the 2. The moment he steps up ever so slightly it'll all come crashing down again. He was saying this was his last year. I hope it is.Quote:
