    Here are my skewed scenarios and possibilities:-

    Straight after first bell, initially Jones will be hypnotically transfixed by the magnificent sailing ship tattooed on Tom’s chest, appearing as if it is literally sailing across the seas with Tom's each and every breath.. In that small but oh so important window of time and opportunity, Sailor Tom will haul off and smash Roy back to the future sans DeLorean.

    Another possibility: Tom is simply too rough and tough, invoking all manner of fouls, completely disrupting Roy’s game. Eventually Jones succumbs and is likely put out cold by the ugliest of haymakers.

    Otherwise and finally, Tom’s “entourage”, including ref. Wyatt Twerp will ensure that Sharkey wins, rain, hail or shine – even if the cleanest of knock outs is exacted upon Tom, it will be automatically ruled as a “foul”. Jones already has a DQ for fouling on his record, so it has a fair chance of being floated.

    For Jones, it seems best not to mess with Sailor Tom any which way EXCEPT for, wait, just one last epiphany, that being if Jones himself brings his own ref. to travel back in the hot tub time machine and oversee the fight – one Jay Nady, who will daresn’t let Sharkey even get close to do any hint of damage.

    Just ask the Quiet Man, John Ruiz, in case y’all forgot.

    I know what you're saying - back in days when people actually gave a pluck. You couldn't help but bump into a fellow plucker. No such plucking chance these days. Pluck me. These days, a lot of people talk the talk but ultimately end up being mere four flushers.

    Sterling avatar by the way. Man was a legend.

    Simple.
    Tom takes Roy out the night before, as a good will gesture, around all the pubs he frequent s.
    Tom being a sailor, can drink the house dry, and not even feel it!
    Roy, on the other hand, gets tipsy on a couple of the house special brew s..

    By the next day, Tom's fresh as a daisy.
    Roy, on the other hand, feels like absolute crap, and has being dry heaving since 3 in the morning..


    Within two rounds, Tom's battered Roy and all Jr wants to do is go home to die in his bed..

    Result!

    Probably only in a 25 rounder, with an old school liberal ref, that allows Sharkey to wear down Jones with wrestling.

    Sharkey wasn't even a particularly good puncher, so it's not the best case.

    Sharkey style / accuracy was posion for boxers. He landed on good one's like Corbett ( on his way to a ko ) Choynski ( ko ) an the trickey and mobile McCoy. He'd make Jones fight his fight.

    Incorporate a ton of wrasslin and roughhousing, make it as little of a boxing match as possible.

    Sharkey manages to sneak two horseshoes into his gloves. Then his manager smears his gloves with liquid anthrax. Sharkey wins a close fight.
