[scott]

Should be a good fight tonight. I know Dave and Busters is showing it for a $10 cover... anyone know of other places that are showing the fight?

[HB22inSA]

Should be a good fight tonight.
Probably not.

I don't see Jones lasting longer than 3 rounds.

[Horry For 3!]

I have Tarver beating Jones and Jones career is over for good.

If Jones wins, I would be very suprised.

[KEDA]

ROY JONES JR will win this fight!

or Im off the RJJ bandwagon like Tpark and the Spurs!

[Horry For 3!]

If anyone is watching the fight on PPV, update in here. Thanks :tu

[Oscar DeLa]

I don't know what it is, but hearing about all these pansies makes me wish I could personally fight each of them.

[HB22inSA]

Yeah, but you guys just won't let it go.

Everyone acts like they've never said something and not followed through.

Get over it already.

[Horry For 3!]

I got the right person but I thought Tarver would win by KO.

Roy Jones Jr. = Done

[scott]

Jones looked timid - if he would have been more aggressive, especially later in the fight, I think he could have won. By round 9 Tarver was visably out of gas - but Jones wouldn't throw punches.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I am a huge Corrales fan. He is originally from Sactown and my Dad used to be his doctor.


I'm impartial. That first fight of theirs was off tha heezee though

[KEDA]

the Corrales-Castillo fight was one of the best I had seen in a long while, those 2 dudes beat the crap outta each other all night, neither would budge, it was great!

Same here, one of the best but I always have to go with the Ward-Gatti fights.

[Dre_7]

I wacthed the fight at a friends. Jones is done! He looked scared. He was basically trying not to get knocked out. He looked like he was trying to stay away from the action. :lol I was very disapointed in Jones. The judges had an easy night, thats for sure. Tarver with a unanimous (how the hell do you spell that???? :lol) decision.

[TheAdmiral#50]

Tarver remains the champ. Good for him, I have no problem with that,he is a good fighter.

One thing needs to be said though . . .

Roy Jones Jr. is still one of the BEST fighters EVER in Boxing history. This fight did not tarnish his legendary status what-so-ever. The fighter we've been watching the last 3 fights is merely Roy Jones Jr's shell. So nobody should be second guessing Roy, or his long reign in Boxing.

You are abosutely right. He was one of the great ones, but I dont understand why boxers step into the ring when they are not what they used to be. I am not saying this tarnished his career, but why do so many athletes do that?
