So, change of plans, this WILL be his last fight. Rafael gets to be right, if only retrospectively, even though what he reported when he reported it still wasn't true.
I still think it isn't true. Roy will have at least another fight after this, although he says he doesn't. Mark my words
It's clearly not about the money anymore, he must be addicted to the adrenaline rush. He was one of my favorites and I hope he can exit the sport with what's left of his health
A week from this very moment, the journey will be at its end - just three months shy of its 29 year anniversary (two years shy of taking place in five separate decades!!)
To put into perspective. The majority of world champions around at the moment were born AFTER Jones won his silver is Seoul.
Tonight is the night! ISLAND FIGHTS 46 on UFC Fight Pass (7 day free trial memberships available) Card airs from 8:30pm ET Boxing Roy Jones Jr. vs. Scott Sigmon, 10 rounds @ cruiserweight Ikram Kerwat vs. Angel Gladney, 8 rounds @ lightweight Devin Cushing vs. Tommy Bryant, 6 rounds @ lightweight MMA John Mustaki vs. Socrates Pierre, 3x5" rounds @ "lightweight" Mike Davis vs. Montrel James, 3x5" rounds @ lightweight (add'l MMA, non-televised except maybe as filler) Charles Bennett vs. Brok Weaver, 3x5" rounds @ lightweight Hannah Goldy vs. Vanessa Marie-Grimes, 3x5" rounds @ strawweight Dustin Clements vs. Nkemdirim Oti, 3x5" rounds @ heavyweight I'd estimate Jones vs. Sigmon ring walks about 10:30pm EST.
Over the last couple of weeks I've become more and more unsure as to whether Roy will stop or even win this one. Gut is Jones UD or late stoppage though so I'll stick with that.
Except for the hair she looks a lot like my gf (who's ½ Persian, granted not the same as the Arabic/Berber mix found in Kerwat's native Tunisia, but phenotypically similar enough)
