    Toney looked quicker and in better shape at 160 v McCallum and I agree Griffin did beat Roy in that first bout before being destroyed in the rematch but again he mostly stood off and countered Roy, only occasionally pinning Roy on the ropes.

    One would have to be mightly desperate to clutch that tight to your chest.

    It was a close fight and then Roy was DQ.

    Yes it was close and Roy lost on a spur of the moment technicality when he finally put himself in a position to win and was going to win. Utter destruction in the rematch.

    He was desperate at that point because Roy hurt him, but in the rounds before that Jones was really tentative, in the rematch Roy simply picked up from where he left off, and went for Broke blowing away the weaker fighter.
