Roy was making good competition look like a guy fighting in his first professional fight or some roadie trying to fight a champion... he made skilled guys look like amateurs.
Totally agree, it was how Roy beat them & dominated his opponents. Alot of his opponents came into the fight averaging 40 -50 punches thrown per round but as soon as they faced Roy they were averaging in single figures at most. Roys speed and counter punching just shut most fighters out and left them not knowing what to do or wanting to throw anything. Also alot of his opponents came into the fight having never been KOd until they were put down by Jones.
