Roy Jones is in Russia!

As SteveDave would point out, it is shocking that he is only eleven years older than Lucian Bute

 

No he doesn't Mex and I already discussed this - he looks exactly his age.

 

He looks exactly his age for an average Joe on the street. For a pro athlete who trains every day, he looks OLD.

 

Where was Roy's willingness to fight overseas 10-15 years ago when it would have mattered?

 

Yeah because high performance sport at the top level makes you look younger in the face... :notallthere:

 

Yes, it generally does actually. In power athletes especially. Pay attention.

 

You still drunk or just :Lok:

What part of any of my points does either of those videos contradict? Do they show pressure? A guy who pushes mid-close range? A sustained pace? Speed? Defence?

Or do they show a guy who's stylistically perfect for Roy Jones like i described other than how hard he punches?

My pick is Lebedev by KO, Im just making the point. There's a reason Roy has picked out Lebedev and moved out to fight him. Roy can analyse the sport he has reasons for making this fight out of the blue.

 

Roy has picked Lebedev, because he pays the most.

Of course Lebedev fights at a solid pace. He didn´t wait for Enzo or Alekseev to come to him. He moved back and forth. He dictated the tempo. He used the jab, he worked the body. He re-arranged Enzo´s face in a round, he busted Alekseev´s nose and made him do the Judah dance with one punch.

You hinted at him fighting Roy being something like Holyfield fighting Valuev. He´s Usain Bolt compared to Valuev and Tyson Gay compared to Danny Green.

If would be a miracle if Roy lasted the distance.

 

It'd be a shock, but not quite as big a shock as it looks on paper, given the styles. If you're designing a fighter for Roy to beat, it's Lebedev without the power. Somebody who's gonna stand off him, predominantly counter punch, be at a huge speed disadvantage, etc

Again, for the record, my pick is lebedev by KO.

 

Does it say "Star" on the Side of the car Roy is in?? Zvezda?

 

That fighter already exists his name is Jeff Lacy.

 

He should fight dariusz michalczewski while he's at it.

 

No idea why Roy has taken this fight. He must be making 7 figures from his HBO deal.
