Jones- Tarver 1

[ICB]

I didn't really see this as a close/controversial fight at all, people cried robbery because they wern't used to see Roy Jones Jr in a close fight. I had the fight dead even going into the 11th round.

And Roy Jones Jr clearly won the last 2 rounds making it 7-5 on my card, it could of possibly been 7-4-1 though.

Roy Jones Jr didn't need to take the rematch he clearly won this fight, Antonio Tarver would try and steal rounds with flurries at the end of the round.

But in my mind this was a clear win for Roy Jones Jr.

I don't think total robbery, or robbery at all really... But some of the score cards makes you wonder if they got their judging license free with their last pair of contact lenses...
One of the worst aspects of boxing, is that in a clearly even fight, or even a relatively one sided fight, a supposedly world class level judge can sometimes score it blindingly wrong in a way that they should be taken out the back and shot.. Let alone allowed to continue judging... All judges should have an analysis scorecard, and after a bunch of shit decisions, should be handed a huge please explain, then kicked out if they don't get their eyes checked..

Jones won this fight.

Tarver would have effective 5-10 second flurries along the ropes, and then he would do absolutely NOTHING the rest of the round.

Tarver has only himself to blame for losing this fight. He had a tired weight-drained Jones and just didn't throw enough punches to win.

I had it 114-114

One of thee most boring trilogies ever.

The only thing that made this fight, was the knock out.

Who won the first fight? It really doesnt matter who I thought won, it wont change nothing.

One of thee most boring trilogies ever.

The only thing that made this fight, was the knock out.

John Ruiz vs Evander Holyfield
Bernard Hopkins vs Robert Allen

Beat RJJ vs Antonio Tarver for the most boring trilogies of all time.

I did not watch the Ruiz/Holyfield bouts but I will take your word for it but

Bernard Hopkins vs Robert Allen? This had it's moments. Bhop was pushed out of the ring there were a few knock downs in the second fight and some more drama in the third fight.

Like I said, Tarver/Jones, one of thee most boring trilogies ever. (other than the knock out) as I mentioned before.

Jones won but he should have never fought after that. He was tested which is what people wanted he faced adversity he won he should have rode off into the sunset. But he gave Tarver a rematch when he didn't want to and when he wasnt physically at his best, for someone who people complained never took a risk, continuing to fight after the first tarver fight with his body in the bad shape it was in had to be his biggest risks and ultimately it cost him dearly. Roy Jones just goes to show no matter how great of shape you are in, if you betray your body by losing 30 pounds or how ever many he lost, no matter how good your skill is if your body is drained so are you.
