I swear bro if you blink you miss half of this fight these guys are super quick and super strong
..
This is the kind of fight I thought bud and Spence would have smh 😢
L😂L it was a wrap when Bud dapped up Error Spence
If you thought that then you're A casual boxing fan. And that's not A.
Bad thing.
Tarver was devastating damn
He had what it took to frustrate Roy and he was always dangerous with that left, but he had a dead legged fighter in front of him and he lost.
Like Emmanuel Stewart said: Tarver had the fighting style and amateur pedigree to give Roy a tough fight
Antonio Taver did a fine job but he failed 2 many punches meanwhile RJJ was more accurate. Both of them were amazing.
If i ever buy a rooster im naming him roy jones because roy stole all his moves from watching roosters fight.
2:30 whatta rooster !!!
Jones legs were not the same this marked the end of his prime. Jones legs were wobbling and at times of balance. Jones who fought griffin or hopkins would've dominate Tarver. Hands down.
Idk bout that I think he beats Tarver for sure but stylistically he was bad for Roy
Wouldve 😄. All that fantasy Shi should stop. He got beat fair and square twice. And this is what you come up with. They had the stage, and that wasnt an if, it was real stage where jones took beatings. Tarver would still beat him cos he's done it twice
@@pencodes3580 man who said anything about fantasy facts jones lose muscles to make weight and was drain everyone new jones didn't looked the same he said him self so no u are the one on the fantasy b.s. I only spoke my opinion. Man can anybody have an opinion people get stupid and but hurt over people opinion.
@@derrickhill7991 he climbed up and had to drop down
@@pencodes3580 I was never hurt nor bothered when jones lost to Tarvar I greatly appreciate Jones took on all challenges some people who claim they the best ever I've never seen fight a smart black boxer puncher with good foot work. So yea greatly appreciate jones tarver ray leonard and hearn or Hearns and Hagler or Haglar and Ray leonard. The claim to be tb but these guys fought fighters while they were in their prime and at their best. Tarver won but one of the greatest schooled him B Hop took tarver to school. Now soon its should be crowford and spens. But in my opinion their is no TB only for me u could be one of the greatest. But I've never said jones won the fight or he should've won the fight I just said that he did looked the same . Now true story but not fantasy I defeated a boxer instructor when I was 17 years old using . Martial arts. That's facts family and friends to prove it..
Great fight between two great champions
I remember watching this live and at the time I thought Tarver won the fight. Didn't think he would KO Jones in the rematch though. But seems that he got in Jones head before the fight in many ways. "You got any excuses Roy?" was crazy
Yea same here. Watching it now, I see how gone Roy’s legs were. Then like you said “You got any excuses tonight Roy” like he knew he was gonna KO Roy.
I was right out of high school back then. Then Glen Johnson KO’d Roy. I was crushed.
Roy Jones did enough to beat Tarver and never should’ve gave him a rematch. Roy should’ve retired he wasn’t the same when he stopped taking steroids a few years earlier
It was boxing vs basketball )))
@@JayYo21 Roy lost. Got a gift decision
@@notallowed337 I disagree I thought he did enough to get the win. Roy was the better fighter the longer it went on. Judges also felt the same. Those are the facts you are just giving some random opinion that means nothing
And that's boxing, I love it!!
Excellent video quality!!
Facing the most adversity in his career completely drained RJ dug deep and won the championship rounds!!
All this time, I never knew they fought twice. I thought the 2nd fight was the first time they ever fought. Dang.
Bombastic Show💥💥💥💣💣💣
just a heads up for all the dumb comments here.....roy put on 25lbs of muscle for ruiz..beat him to grab the heavyweight belt...and that was his career done. because taking off 25lbs of muscle to come back down to fight tarver was not possible..genetically...roy was never the same guy after thar...- anyone who knows boxing knows this.
facts
Exactly! Thank you!
Truth
That ruiz fight should have been the end...
Anymore excuses tonight Roy?
I watched that fight live and Roy won that fight in the later rounds. Most of Tarvers punches were blocked but you could see the decline in Roy Jones Jr that day.
The decline? More like the beat down.
Yoh are correct he never qas the same after going back down from heavyweight
Why did Carver never do much other than beat Jones when Jones kept going up and down in weight. Tarter was always afraid to fight Jones when he was at his best and when Jones stayed at a consistent weight. The weight changes slowed Jones down and he stopped being what he was due to going to heavyweight and then to super middleweight and then light heavyweight . These body changes affected him in ways that his Dad had told him it would.
Tarver wanted the fight for years, what are you talking about- scared?
Roy Jones, excelente boxeador.
Tarver whooped Roy's turkey. And everyone knows it. However, you've gotta knock out the champion or knock him down a couple times to take the belt. The advantage of holding the belt.
True that's how it works 😂😂
thats not even a real rule tho, you're just praising shady judging
@Red4350 Praising or just understanding "how it works"? Acknowledging what is... is not the same as admiration. At least that's the way I see it.
@@antoinemantoux1520 Not always, Tunney didn't ko Dempsey,the Cinderella man didn't KO Maxie, leon spinks didn't Ko Ali, and his brother Mike didn't ko Holmes. There are other examples.
It was Great match of a history,,,
Extraordinaire de rapidité pour des " lourds legers "super video
Roy the king !
Jones got his butt whooped based on these highlights, and I'm a Jones fan
To me, this is when Roy Jones started to decline rapidly. After winning the heavyweight championship of the world from John Ruiz, he should have retired, before maintaining his legacy as one of the greatest boxers of all time. But instead he chose to continue fighting. To get "chinned" by the likes of Antonio Tarver was preventable.
Luckily he got that punch off someone told Roy secret they found put
Out.
Crazy shit
..
Its hard for a warrior to hang up his shield and sword....
Great old school 🥊fight
At this point:
Tarver had 22 fights (1 World Title fight and 2 Title Fights in Total)
Jones had 49 fights (24 World Title fights, 2 are amongst the best middleweight and super middleweight boxers of all time)
So Jones had more world title fights than tarver had total fights.
So it is safe to say that not only was Jones affected by the muscle loss his mind was clearly right. He achieved everything he wanted to achieve. Tarver was on the rise. Jones basically was finishing his career.
One was motivated as hell the other one tired of all the fights and records he was breaking.
We all know (whether you are a tarver fan or jones fan) would they have met during their prime years that Jones would have won quite convincingly (minimum 10 rounds).
He dominated a more talented boxer in Toney. So yeah.
TO BE THE CHAMP...
U HAVE TO BEAT THE CHAMP..
PERIOD !!
And he did that.
Tarvers punches missed Jones so often that the air took the worst beating....
Someone was devastated
А в следующем бою Тарвер прекратил существование легенды Роя Джонса!
Джонс сам виноват, да и был там лакипанч как в бою Цзю VS Джуда. Скачки по весовым категориям дают о себе знать. Из средней в полутяжи, из полутяжей в супер тяжи, из супер тяжей обратно в полутяжи. Этой фигнёй сейчас занимается полусредневес Альварес, и уже поплатился с полутяжем Биволом.
Мне больше нравится бой, где старик Бихоп унижает Тарвера
This was back when Roy still had excuses tonight.
he won lol
Though I agree that Roy pulled this fight out because of his strong finish! I also believe that Tarvers attitude and stubbornness cost him the fight! Far more than Roy , tarver let his personal feelings and refusing to make the proper adjustments take away an otherwise great performance!!
Tarver clearly annihilated Jones
Tarver definitely won that !!
ROY JONES Jr The LEGEND
7:45 Tarver faces... looks like my father-in-law when we meet first time.
They say Roy had no chin..but here he took multiple shots from a guy who put out heavyweight s
He knocked him the fck out in the rematch 😂😂😂
@@eriklaguira yea it happens.
Roy had NO chin. What heavy weights worth a shit did Tarver knock out? Not one, not those live corpse's he fought in a vein cash grab at heavyweight.
Roy had a decent chin but when he got knocked out in the rematch he suffered permanent damage barley had any punch resistance afterwards.
What's interesting is that Roy beat BeHop, but Tarver looked like a scared little boy in his loss to BeHop.
Рой Джонс , настоящий боец.
Jones Jr didn't have top tier boxing skills. Jones Jr was a physical marvel before facing Ruiz. Roy should have allowed his body to readjust to the weight loss BEFORE training for this fight. He lost his speed, reflexes, explosiveness, things that Jones Jr heavily relied on to win. Mayweather, De La Hoya, Wright and Pacquiao are but a few of the many whose boxing skills won the fight against physically superior opponents. Some mistake speed and power for skill.
FACTS!!! I 10000% AGREE
It's hard to love a sport that's always thrown out rotten decisions
Judges simply weren't all that impressed by Tarver punching Jone's gloves. He certainly landed several, but Jones hung around, landed some nice shots himself and then came on strong to take it. Roy was clearly a diminished fighter at this point, but less Jones is still more than enough....at least for one last night...
Jones lost this fight man
66
Lol. Jones lost this fight
@@capo4ever334,lol punching gloves and elbows are not landed punches..2 u can't beat the champ on points has to be clear or k.o learn the sport bud
Dumbest original comment I've read in awhile..& I'm a Utube fiend
I like the way Jones can make his opponent look slow.
If only roy retired after this fight...the perfect legacy!
Tarver got robbed! He dominated that fight. 💯
No he didn't stop it! It was a good fight but Tarver lost in the latter part of that fight.
Тарвер этот бой не выиграл, бил только по защите, бой был равный. Рой был уже не тот после боя с Руисом. Как бы то ни было, Рой уникальный боксёр, таких не было и не будет.
Верняк 👍🇺🇿
That heavyweight thing ruined him. He would never be the same again
Tarver caught roy when he had to drop all this weight everybody should know that roy in his prime or even just him being in perfect shape tarver would done in 4 rounds think about it he got punished by hopkins when he was old
Hopkins is an excellent counter puncher and he exposed Tarver's style by taking away his left hook.
Tarver might’ve thrown more but Roy landed more clean and mean shots!
Roy took an absolute beating here
Tarver couldn't beat a Roy with no legs.
Obviously Taver won
he knocked him cold in the rematch
@@grahampick1954 he got one lucky punch in. Then an old ass Hopkins abused him. Tarver a bum.
@@grandizer4531 lol I love it I agree
Did you see the rematch ? 😂😂😂
Back when men were men and not puppets of Eddie hearns
Whaaaaat? Got news for you back then they were still puppets, just for different promoters.
Also don't dump too much praise on these 2. Save it for fighters of that era who did act like men an never made any money doing it.
@@eol6632 👨🏻🏭
I don't remember much about the fight. I was watching it. It was the last night I did cocaine. I was using the round clock to take my pulse and the numbers were freaking me out. I was praying the whole time to let me get through this and I'll never do it again.
You didn't miss much, RJ pot shoting Tarver timidly. Tarver wasting time then trying to steal rounds. An Buddy Mcgurt losing his mind cause his fighter was out to lunch.
He should have retired right after this. Like Lennox did after Vitali
Roy cut so much muscle for this fight, I don’t know why he took it. You’re the heavyweight champion. Tarver talked his way into these fights, he knew Roy would be drained.
Ego.
Should of made tarver go up to, if Roy never went to hw thus would of been another easy win for Roy
Roy should have never come back down in weight from heavy. The obvious move was a fight with Tyson for the WBA belt he picked up off Ruiz and then retire unbeaten with a resume that was good enough to firmly leave him considered by everyone as one of the best fighters of all time.
💯
roy win
Thats what made. Boxing dirty....
Roy never knew how to brawl, really, he was always that “float like a butterfly and sting like a bee” kind of fighter, always fighting at distance, never closing in, that’s why when faced by such a strong and technical brawler who could take his punches, he was destroyed.
Bestroyjons
How do these guys have so much energy it’s like they are coked up
Barry vs L.T; but the preditor always wins in the end because he's hungrier.
A good southpaw with a great jab was his kryptonite
Mason "The Line" Dixon
Tarver was vicious with those shots 😓😓
Tarver banging gloves whole fight, clean work feom jones won him the fight
Tarver was hitttinb hard 😂😂😂
Рой чемпион 🤜🤛✊👍
Close win by Roy
Honestamente los fabricantes snd Quare😢😢😢😢😮
Just by watching these highlights it would appear that this fight was close, it wasn't; Roy whooped him.
It was close.
roy the tough
Tarver had Roys number
It was actually a robbery 😂. Antonio landed way more
Рой красавчег
Thank goodness Tarver put Jones in his place the next two occasions they boxed. This result was a joke
Tarver was a beast in this and Jones 2, but he wouldn’t have stood a chance against prime RJJ
منورين العبيد
Spence should watch this
Seems to be Tarver always had Jones Jr's number. Holyfield always had advantage over Tyson.
Noo in actually they got caught outta they prime....... Tarver vs Roy Prime4prime roy would have made Tarver look lik a C-level fighter...... ad Prime Mike woulda knocked out Holyfield easily
@@chuckElegend Holyfield wasn't in his "prime" when he faced Tyson, either.
Was Tyson in his prime when he was KO'd by Douglas?
Was Douglas in his prime when he was KO'd by Holyfield?
As far as I can remember, Jones Jr ducked a few fighters in his "prime"...
Jones Jr was supposed to fight the winner of the Hopkins vs Trinidad middleweight match, that never happened.
There was a European fighter Darius M...ski that openly called Jones Jr out when Jones Jr was #1 P4P and that fight never happened.
The rematch with James Toney never happened.
All that "in his prime" talk is just straight up bullshit. On paper it looks like Jones Jr and Tyson were invincible. An uppercut by Douglas ended that myth. One left hook by Tarver and Jones Jr was never the same.
сьемка есть со всех сторон. "счетуны" профи уже наверняка посчитали очки постфактум. надо "погуглить" :-) мне показалось победил Тарвер.
Рой Джонсон крутой
Roy should've fought tarver first before moving up to heavyweight & retire after the heavyweight title
This was the second fight they had 3
This was when the weight gain and loss caught up with Roy ..
The way they edited this fight made Roy look waaaay more active than he was that night. He literally did nothing most the fight. Roy vs John Ruiz was the last time we actually saw the man we all knew and loved.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Roy won in the middle of the ring
Tarver on the ropes
True
Saya belum pernah melihat pertarungan ini. Tapi menurutku serangan Tarver lebih banyak dari Roy.
Roy should have never given Tarver a second fight. He was as taunted into that second fight. Roy should have stayed at 205 and invited Tarver, Hopkins and anyone else who wanted to put on 24 lbs to come on up…
Semua mata melihatnya ko yg di menangkan roy jhon yg di hajar ya?🤓🤓🤓.
Roy dug deep for that one frfr! Tarver caught him at the right time after the Ruiz fight and was relentless. I wish RJ ended his career that night.
Jones was already defeated before the fight, because Tarver got inside his head, especially with the “excuses” line. Its psychological.
Tarver had Jone’s number.
Ive never seen the full fight. Just this highlight reel. Going by what I saw here, I think Tarver won. BUT-A LOT of his flurries were a lot of misses. But he also landed some good shots, probably the best shots of the two. Again, in this reel. However-At their best, Roy would wipe the canvas with Tarver. Period.
Tarver would still hold his own, but I would also pick Roy to win.
When relying all on speed and quickness with not much technical skill and defense goes wrong.
You have now clue what you're talking about. 6 months before this fight Roy Jones was a Heavyweight. Novice 🎤
Esa pelea fue bendia
A mí también me estuvo medio raro el resultado.
Tarver whooped his ass.
Jones was on the decline in this fight. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Winky Wright lay him out a short time later?
No that was Glen Johnson
He over there crying instead of shaking Roy jones hand that was completely greedy of him to not show Roy his respects and to try to tease the legend the whole boxing match sht aint coo Tarver show some class. And respects to Roy Jones Jr.
Best light heavyweight ever and its no Tarver...
Seems like Tarver won this fight.
I am Roy's fan but let's be fair
