Bob Foster -vs- Roy Jones…

This is too dangerous, I don’t think Roy would want this fight. He’ll move around a lot, Bob will expand when he glides out, pull back when he presses and just hover in the middle of the ring letting RJJ circle him, probing out the jab and keeping behind the wall of his shoulder, he won’t be getting pot shotted by RJJ the reach difference here… he’ll apply a lot of pressure, he won’t even need to throw much just keep him thinking by getting uncomfortably close to punching range, feinting and jabbing on him I think eventually Roy will start rushing his work when Foster puts things behind the jab, when that happens he’ll get walked into a hook and have his head taken off… IMO

 

Foster.

 

RJJ's habit of keeping his right hand low means that he will get nailed with the left hook at some point.

Foster ko 7.

 

He kept it low? I remember he kept it outstretched, same issue but purposeful. It’s been a bit.

 

Nah he often kept his hands low. Sometimes outstretched sure, but even at close range he had it low. He had unbelievable reflexes and could get away with it. But Foster is a legit 6'3 with long arms. If RJJ lowers his right hand at any point, he is getting nailed by a left hook.

 

The fair version of this fight would actually be Jones when he was campaigning at 160lbs, because he’d’ve been coming into the ring at like 175lbs anyway, and in Foster’s day, they were coming into the ring at exactly what they weighed in at, which in Fosters case, was several lbs under 175lbs, by the time Jones was fighting at 175lbs, he’d noticeably put on muscle, and by that point was probably coming into the ring at like 188lbs or something, so middleweight Jones would’ve been like 175lbs hydrated.

 

You should make a series of threads matching Foster up with winnable fights… effectively managing his forum fantasy fight career into maybe a renewed reputation, props if you get him to be “Overrated” from effectively LHW Forum Patterson LOL. If not we could hire the guy who managed forum Lyle or Tua…

 

Couldn't beat Doug Jones. Couldn't beat Roy Jones.

 

Could see something similar to the Curry -McCallum fight.

 

Roy looks great until he eventually walks into a hook.

 

Foster KO 8 while behind.

 

I'm going with Roy Jones, late rounds or points

 

The night ends very badly for Jones.
