Did Roy Jones Jr Really Deserve His First Loss ??

[ICB]

Anyone remember Riddick Bowe Clocking Buster Mathis Jr. After he had taken a knee....Purley intentional and the commision,Mercante sr.& Larry hazzard huddled in the ring coming up with a ruling...they did not realize that the Microphone was on and caught conversation.Bowe was winning but should have been DQ'd Imo.

Yes i remember that funny you should mention that because Gil Clancy who commentated on Jones vs Griffin 1 mentioned that fight as well.

I hate when boxers hit while their opponents are down.
Many times I've talked about this and how I feel about it.
Wilfredo Gomez got away with this a lot during his career.

The DQ on RJJ was OK on my books. So I would answer your question as yes he did deserve his 1st loss.

[Mark TKO]

like has been said - Griffin milked it but yes Jones did deserve it

had he retired with just that one defeat though I believe he would still have been a man who retired unbeaten and that '1' would not have mattered.

As it happens Tarver and Johnson came along and rendered it insignificant.

Originally the result was Roy Jones winning via TKO. But they changed it to a DQ in the same night. Would have been better for Montell to lose that way. But changing it to a DQ just ended Montell's chances. and ultimately made Roy's legacy

The worst I've seen as far as hitting someone when their down goes was Nigel Benn against Iran Barkley. Benn knocked Barkley down 3 times in round 1 and each time threw punches after Barkley went down.

Even though I do think Griffen did a bit of an acting job, I think the DQ was justifiable.

But ohhh boy did Jones get his revenge.

That was blatant.

As was Marciano Walcott.

Marco v JMM.

Griffin made a meal of it but yes Roy deserved to be DQ`d that was blatent.

Must add Perez was very slow to react.
