According to the fat man's "sources", whatever the fug that means, Roy Jones Jr. is rumored to face Omar Sheika on January 31th!atsch
Box___ has him set to fight March 21th against him at the Civic Center in Pensacola, Florida, roy's hometown.
Interesting one. This should tell us a few things. Firstly, it will show if Roy's punch resistance is OK afterall. I'm assuming of course that Sheika can still bang a bit. If Sheika manages to put Roy down, even once, then Calzaghe's victory means less than it did before (not saying much I know but it would discredit it further). It also says that Calzaghe is further on the slide than I thought.
The dude hasn't fought in a while, Sheika. Should be an easy win for Roy. But, Sheika is known to bring it. Should be an interesting fight.
Fights like these reveal alot about Roy's mentality, and why much of his career DVD set is tritefully boring.
I can see this being his farewell fight, hoping people will buy it being his last time out etc, plus it's in his hometown so it makes sense. I hope he does retire after this.
Two guys that should both be retired. I would like to see Roy go out with a win but I am not sure how much he has left after the beating Calzaghe put on him.
