September 26, 200422 yr Tonight Glen Johnson walked into the ring, 35 years old a shot prospect from The Miami Area. In his last 18 fights he went 8 - 9 - 1 Roy Jones once the pound for pound champion and one of the greatest we have ever seen, was hungry to get back after his first loss of his career. He was in shape, he was ready. Glen Johnson has knocked Roy Jones Jr out.
September 26, 200422 yr Author To put this into football comparisons for those who are not familiar with the sport, this fight outcome would be like The Vanderbilt football team crushing The NE Patriots 42 - 0. It's just not supposed to happen.
September 26, 200422 yr Author hahahha awesome 572751[/snapback] Same reaction when Roy who I've hated for awhile went down, when I saw him remain their. Not so much.
September 26, 200422 yr Damn, I didn't even know he was fighting tonight. Was he injured that badly? I heard he didn't get up for a while.
September 26, 200422 yr Author I meant that he lost.... no that he was knocked out 572760[/snapback] Yeah, I know I basically feel the same way. It's just eerie, seeing one of the sports greatest to ever step into the ring, still lying there(It's not life threatning or anything but Roy is defiantly hurt. Seems to be shock more so than anything).
September 26, 200422 yr His been my favorite boxer for a while now. Cant believe he lost. Hopefully his fine and can fight soon again (rematch) and KO Glen Johnson.
September 26, 200422 yr This dude used to own. Now he's lost two straight. Is he still in the higher weight class?
September 26, 200422 yr Author His been my favorite boxer for a while now. Cant believe he lost. Hopefully his fine and can fight soon again (rematch) and KO Glen Johnson. 572789[/snapback] His eyes, the way he acted during the fight, the fact that he lied on the canvas for 30 minutes and for all we know may still be there. Doesn't look like he's coming back, something needs to click for him because other wise him coming back will be a mistake.
September 26, 200422 yr Roy Jones was overrated anyway. He was pretty good at dodging and weaving though. As in dodging and weaving that Bernard Hopkins rematch, of course.
September 26, 200422 yr who did roy jones ever fight and beat of significance? not that i follow boxing or care much these centuries.

Glenn Johnson is not just some 35-year-old old a shot prospect from the Miami area and it is not like some college team beating the Pats 42-0. If you know anything about boxing, you would know Johnson is the reigning IBF lightweight title holder and it was RJJ challenging him for the belt. He is also 41-9-2 overall. In noway is he great, but he was not some no name.
September 26, 200422 yr who did roy jones ever fight and beat of significance? not that i follow boxing or care much these centuries. 573057[/snapback] Just to name some bigger names: Bernard Hopkins John Ruiz James Toney Virgil Hill Antonio Tarver David Telesco Vinny Pazineza and those are just some names I thought you would recognize if you didn't follow boxing closely. Also don't forget, RJJ started his professional career as a middle weight and has captured a title all the way up to the heavyweight division.

In noway is he great, but he was not some no name. 573098[/snapback] Please Glen Johnson was a show opponent, a simple punchbag that was supposed to make Roy Jones look good enough to send the buy rates up for A Roy Jones/ Tarver rematch. Which is exactly why Lampley made the comment "Antonio Tarver just witnessed a few million dollars fly out the window". Johnson was very much a shot prospect, after 97 when Hopkins beat him he went into a complete tailspin, as I said he went 8 - 9 - 1 after those fights. Oh, he has The IBF belt what an honor. The Light Heavy IBF title like many abc belts in boxing was watered down from years of Roy Jones putting away every opponent which left the division with a low class of talent for this belt. Johnson beat Clinton Woods for that belt, an english stiff who Roy Jones Murdered. Clinton Woods has never beaten an opponent outside of Europe and all of his opponents were all stiffs who had horrible records or extreamly low levels of competition. As soon as CLinton Woods came to America to fight Jones he was horrible getting destroyed, so to say beating Clinton Woods somehow is an honor proves who much you know about boxing. That title was a puppet title and Glen Johnson was a handpicked punching bag by Roy Jones's management team to get him back to the top.
