Roy Jones jr versus Kimbo Slice in Jamaican Exhibiton

http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/sports/Roy-Jones-Jnr-for-big-exhibition-fight-card-in-MoBay_12590539

Will Jones Junior get annihilated? Will he ever stope? Why won't he stop? Is this the end of the world?

2 circus acts fighting. Seems spot on to me.

Was worried about the reports that Cleverly was being linked to Roy. But saying that, RJJ would probably put up a better fight than the supervisor of unit B cancer ward.

I wouldn't be surprised to see either of them whip each other. Kimbo may have the power to turn his lights out, but even at this stage RJJ is so much better a boxer.

Beyond depressing. Someone find that man some useful media work.

One circus act and one very misguided former great talent who desperately needs someone to counsel him.....

Agree with the Captain.....

Amazingly interesting matchup. Can't wait.

Sad to say but I hope Kimbo destroys RJJ and knocks some sense into him. Its not as though RJJ has money worries. Apparently he has invested well.

So saddening to see what Roy Jones jnr has become. An immense and truly gifted fighter at his peak who should have been enjoying his retirement 6-7 years ago. Instead we see him fighting a thug famous for back yard scraps on youtube.

How far does the finest fighter of his generation have to have sunk for a story like this to break and nobody to actually be shocked. Depressing barely covers it, please Roy, take up stamp collecting, write a book, restore a classic car, buy a cat, just find something else to do with your time

Personally can't wait. I love this stuff.

As someone who enjoys rap music almost as much as I enjoy the commentary of Colonel Bob Sheridan have to say I would prefer to see him take up that again than take this fight

I love the expression on his face at 18 secs into the video he looks so awsome.

I thought Jones was fighting because he needed the money. I read a while ago the IRS were after him for 3.5 million in taxes or something like that and his promotional company had been losing money.

A new low.

jones needs to retire and the rest of the stuff we all say. but i still expect and hope he beats kimbo.

You know whats sad about this fight? Not just the fact a once incredible fighter is actually sinking to this, but if Kimbo actually wins this fight a lot of the uneducated will be like "Boxings easy street fighters can knock out HOF's!!!"

Well even a washed up Jones shouldnt have any business losing a boxing match to someone like Kimbo Slice. If he were to be KOed in that it would be seriously humiliating.

If Jones get's KO'd he's always able to blame Kimbo's PEDs.

Just wondering if you fancy elaborating Mackem?

Kimbo is technically lacking, has limited endurance and is extremely powerful with immense physical strength. I can't understand why Jones would risk the reputation of boxers everywhere by fighting this monster. It's similar to when Tony tried MMA. Embarrassing.

I was insinuating, without evidence, that a man of his build, with his background, must be on some kind of steroid?

ahhhhh.....a joke!

To be fair, his reputation is more hype than substance. Knocking seven shades of merde out of some fat guy in a backyard in Florida is one thing, but he got seriously found out once he started fighting some actual decent fighters.

Wins over aged Bo Cantrell and Tank Abbot flattered to deceive, but he was sparked out in 14 seconds by Matt Mitrione which suggested he wasn't as hard as everyone thought.

He's a brawler that lacks any real skill and has no gas tank.

Even a 2012 RJJ should be able to dispatch him fairly easily, although I see the fight descending into farce.

Didnt a Boston Cop beat him up as well.

Yes, Sean Gannon, who got sparked out in his first and only UFC appearance.

I wasn't aware Kimbo needed counselling?

It begins.....
