richmond_mat Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Maybe I'm completely out of touch, but it seems to me that boxing is lacking an electrifying figure. It could be the boxer or the manager. (ali or don king) I can get into boxing. Why has its popularity declined? :player: But I knew nothing of last night's bout.

chrishcovga Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Yeah, I couldn't believe it when I saw it on ESPN either.. Yeah his other loss was when he hit Montell Griffin after he knocked him down. He shouldn't have been disqualified , but it counted as his first loss.Tarver has had only 24 professional fights and he's 22 - 2. Needless to say, He got in a lucky shot! But maybe it's time for Roy Jones to step aside. He dominated a division that no one wanted for so long. He embarrassed John Ruiz as a heavyweight, . I say If he keeps on fighting and loses a probable 3rd match with Tarver, he should go back down to Middleweights and beat up the bums down there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrishcovga Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 Finally got to see the replay of the fight. Jones got caught with a serious left. Everything looked kind of fishy' before the second round! - You know anything that's an HBO - pay per view will be subject to being fixed anyways!*EX. - 3 years ago, HBO showed a lightweight fight where one Boxer threw more than 1000 punches in the 12 round decision. He landed 400 +. The other guy ate jabs and everything else for 12 rounds and barely landed 150, and was floored twice ! - They ruled the fight a draw ! We won't even bring up the other " HBO " fights of question ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
