I just watch Jones get knocked the fuck out
 

what a shame...i liked him....

do you think he'll fight again?

damn, time to call it a career, imo


next great champ:

Andre Ward

he's still on the canvas

ya that shot put him away....it sucks to get knocked out but to then have to lay there for 15 min with the crowd watching really sucks....

it was slamming the back of his head on the canvas that did him in, but yeah, he's done. Time to hang them up.

i totally forgot about the fight and was flipping thru channels and started to watch the round before he got knocked the fuck out... man... what a pittiful match-up - he wasnt even guarding - shoulda seen that right hook coming!

he sleptwalked thru the whole fight. He just doesn't have it anymore, it happens to all of us. He's 35 and that's about the end of the line for most boxers.

He was knocked out cold... last two fights got koed/

I assume there will be an official retirement bout between Hopkins and Jones, a rematch of their 1992(1993?) encounter. Two shot fighters who can't punch too hard. Sounds like a nice way to pad your bank account before calling it quits.

how the hell do you figure B Hop is shot? He's not even close to shot.

:glugglug

Hopkins ain't shot man, but Jones should retire. :)

Pedo bitch, do you think you can fuck with threads and get away with it? People only get away with it on you because you're universally disliked and unwanted.

Why? What if you loved something and you wanted to keep doing it regardless if you weren't at your prime or not?

Fighters are fighters, they continue on regardless of what shithead fans think.

Not to mention they still make a shitload of money.

he will suffer serious health effects if he continues fighting. Shithead. They're not playing croquet in there.

The guy had zero energy... he got nothing left...

He has lost a total of 3 times. Shithead. Sure, if he continues fighting after getting pulvarized time after time after time, sure. But he's lost twice in a row, fighters go through slumps and can make amazing comebacks.

Unless it's blatantly obvious that he should quit and he's still able to compete at the top, there's nothing wrong with it, especially since it's his own life and he'll choose what he fucking wants to do.

There's probably a lot of things we can all do without that isn't exactly beneficial to our health but we do it anyways.

What dig says, he should retire more for his health. A few years ago he was a great commentator for HBO, now he can't even talk straight. It's slourish.

when's the last time a top level fighter got KTFO twice in a row and made an 'amazing comeback'? NEVER. He can't fight at the level he used to fight at. He'll be reduced to taking beatings against journeymen and in 5 years he'll be a shambling, mumbling shell of a man. That's why they have athletic commissions, to stop shit like that from happening although they don't since they're all corrupt.

You don't know dick about boxing, just STFU.

:feels-hot

exactly.. especially a lost agaisnt a boxer that was 8-9 on his last 17 fights and lost against fighters like Omar Sheika.. who lost against everybody..

Not only JOnes lost but he was dominated.. Jones doesnt have the speed and the reflexes he once had .. its over... He can only embarrass himself more by continuing...

Hahaha, and I'm sure you're Ali yourself bud.

Listen you cocky ignorant fuck, regardless of the fact that he happened to lose 2 fights in a row amongst an amazing career as a boxer doesn't necessarily mean he cannot fight again. A lot of people doubted foreman in the 90's, they bit their tongue.

Who says he has to be the best, even so that he's past his prime, if he wants to box, let him box. He doesn't need cock sucker fans telling him what to do with his life.

you've mastered being an offensive fuck. now try to learn how to make some money.

Foreman was never shot. He lost against Ali, beat Ron Lyle in a slugfest then lost to light-hitting Jimmy Ellis. It was a mental thing with him, not a physical thing like it is with RJJ. You're the kind of guy who goes to a fight and starts booing if the fighters dare to box instead of slug like amateurs.

If the commissions would have done their job and stopped Ali from fighting Holmes he'd probably still be giving speeches right now instead of eating crayons.

I'm not Ali, but it's hard not to look wise posting against an ignorant fool such as yourself.

Tough crowd tonight.

I forgot about the fight tonight..


What round?

9th round, straight right hand while Roy was leaning on the ropes looking bored.

Damn jst like Lahoya

I wish I would of seen it.

His fight with De La Hoya was surprisingly close until the KO. A younger Hopkins would have floored him in a couple of rounds. You could clearly see that he was nearing 40 that night. Calling him shot is a bit of a stretch, but he's not the man he used to be. And since Roy Jones is a more imposing man physically -- though he IS shot -- it could be an interesting rematch.

Foreman lost a decision to Jimmy Young in 1977, not Ellis. He then saw Jesus in his dressing room and retired for a decade. :) After losing to Ali and beating Lyle, he also beat a guy by the name of Joe Frazier in 5 short rounds. Not quite the brutal beating he gave him to win the title a few years earlier, but it clearly showed that he still had gas left in the tank. Foreman's problem was fighting ourdoors under 100 degree heat and high humidity. If you could avoid his bombs for 6-7 rounds, he'd be a sitting duck. He wasn't quite as powerful during his comeback, but he was a much smarter fighter.
