That as well didn't sit well with RJJ. What an answer to the critic and Montell in the rematch. Tarver did a great job of tactically breaking down Montell with his win, but Roy, whew! Just annihilation at its finest.
For sure, amazing how quick the so called "experts" will turn on a guy, eh?

I give Montell a lot of credit. He made that first fight very competitive, he was so awkward and explosive, fighting in such strange bursts, he really had Roy frustrated early and actually winning a handful of rounds vs a prime Roy Jones.

Montell was so underrated. He was giving Michalczewski fits in their fight a few years later before getting caught with a big right hand in the 4th, won the first three rounds and was winning the 4th before getting TKO'd (I thought it was a bit of an early stoppage).
