    I was really looking forward to have RJJ commentating, but as the broadcast went on, he was saying really silly stuff... was anyone else surprised? He was quite biased for AJ... also said several times Usyk is tired, and he's gonna gas out. off the wall stuff.

    He made a big deal about AJ getting of the stool first. SMFH

    Yeah I normally like Roy but I thought he kinda sucked on Saturday and said some bizarre things. There was one round where I seriously had no idea what he was talking about.

    After the Ruiz fight he should have retired but he continued fighting getting KO'd multiple times . Sad to see his quick mind getting slower and muddled .

    He's always been a biased commentator. The brain damage from so many times being KTFO has broken down the ability to be unbiased he has been able to show at times in the past. I suspect also that some jealousy was at play, watching the big underdog Usyk methodically take apart the 4 belt champ recognized by many as being the best HW. Roy beat a mediocre HW who just happened to have a belt.

    I think he was high.

    He was laughing at odd times a lot.

    It was quite funny how pro Joshua he was doing the fight but as soon as it was finished he was kinda back tracking.

    Jones wanted his bruva AJ to win, also to help guard his own P4P status. Usyk did something unprecedented and Jones has since given Usyk his due.

    He had to be Jealous of Usyk. I’m a bias AJ fan but his comments were ridiculous.

    It was pretty shocking stuff tbh, I agree. Not just quite biased, terribly biased

    Was it just me or was he actually comparing his fight vs Ruiz to this fight at one point? I started laughing. John Ruiz was a joke.
