Mike McCallum Gave Roy Jones Jr A Tougher Fight Than I Remember.

[Taeth]

I was just watching this one again from my Roy Jones Jr career set, and the fight was tougher than i remember, McCallum gave Roy all he could handle for the 1st 6 rounds, then Jones adjusted by circling in a different direction then he started to win the rounds more comfortably, but man McCallum is tough as hell and he gave Jones one of his toughest fights of Jones career in his prime. And McCallum was 39 as well, McCallum truly is an underrated great fighter.

No way did McCallum push Jones at all... JOnes wasn't even going hard out of respect for Mike, and he still won virtually every round, McCallum didn't like anything except to the body, but those didn't compare to the quick counters of Jones.

I didn't say he pushed him hard i said he gave Jones a competitive fight for the first 6 rounds, it was pretty close after 6 rounds and McCallum was landing a good jab to the body and landing some good shots when Jones was on the ropes, but once Jones circled in a different direction round about the 7th round it was all Jones, i do think Jones did carry McCallum somewhat because he respected McCallum a lot and vice a versa.

Even when Roy was one the ropes which he has always done a lot, McCallum landed body shots, but a lot of them were taken off Jones' elbows and McCallum just looked slow in that fight not that it isn't expected at 38-39, but I still believe that Roy didn't really leave first gear in the fight.
