    I thought Tarver won the first fight when I watched it live. I knew he would win the 2nd, but not that quick.

    I also knew after their first fight, that Jones had seen his best days behind him.

    Why is that irrelevant? It's very relevant.

    Tarver forgot that he was supposed to be hurt by Jones

    Because this thread is not about the age of Jones or Tarver. It is about Tarver talking the talk and walking the walk. "You got any excuses tonight, Roy?" Then BOOM KTFO, Knockout of the year, history changed, Roy Jones Jr... Superman... Mr Untouchable... Heavyweight Champion... ruined... Forever.

    I'd go with Barrera beating Naz's ass. More legit win. More legit equals more bad ass.

    It was truly badass and generated a ton of well deserved buzz. Guys who saw the fight were telling all the guys who didn't about in Monday morning at work. The guys who missed it couldn't pull up youtube, they had to wait for it to be re-aired and everybody wanted to see it.

    Gotta say, it was!!!!!!! Tarver talked the talk, felt like he was robbed in the first fight and came back and didn't leave it in the hands of the judges. Perfect story, they should make a movie out of that !!!! Lmao.

    yeah I remember I won 1000 dollars on that fight because I was the only one who picked Tarver.
