I don't know... the only fight that really concerns me about Roy is his last one when he was knocked cold. That's the one that makes me think he might be slipping.
In the first Tarver fight, losing 30 lbs of muscle was a legitimate issue... I know Jones' style and abilities... I've been watching him for years, and he wasn't himself that night. He was tired by round 3... yet he still won (and there's no doubt he won on points). In the 2nd fight, he was making Tarver look silly. The punch that knocked him out was the only good punch Tarver landed... and if you watch much boxing, you know that can happen sometimes. Look at Lewis/Rahman. One lucky punch doesn't necessarily mean a whole lot.
We'll see. Whoever wins, I'm just hoping for a good fight.
