I have a long standing tradition after big fights, that I predicted right.. I really dont gloat and if I was wrong I ALWAYS am gracious and admit I was wrong and give full credit to the fighter if he wins..

I challenge you to do the same since some you guys are pretty denigrating toward Jones, so lets meet in here Sunday and have a coffee and intelligent conversation regardless of who wins? What do you say?
Nice one, I made the top of your list, does this mean in your eyes I was the most adamant the Joe would win?

Yes Roy isnt the fighter je once was but Joe has also slowed a little, ive always felt that a dtermined worker with skill like Joe would give Roy trouble at any point in his career, Joe has a chin and when he stands in front of you and takes 3 or 4 big shots in succession it plays on Roys mind that he cant leap in with a chance of a ko, he goes in to his shell.

Although, I will give Roy this, he at least tried to put up a fight here.
Hey on paper it was all Joe going into this fight, Jones brings a certain dynamic to a fight even at an advanced age.. I'm a fan of the Jones 1st and foremost, so I dig and analyze and look at things that may favor Roy based on the clash in styles... Roy thru away the fight in the 1st round, Joe was visibly hurt and shaken from the knockdown, it wasnt a flash shot.. Roy dosent have the killer instinct anymore to end a fight, he could have easily stopped Joe but I think he was scared to over commit or was confident that he would have his way with Joe the rest of the fight
