Former pound for pound king Roy Jones Jr. will participate in an exhibition bout against former street and cage-fighter turned boxer Kimbo Slice, Livingston Scott of the Jamiaca Observer confirmed today. The bout featuring the one-time world heavyweight titlist and the undisputed champion of backyard brawling, will take place in December to mark Jamiacas 50th anniversary celebrations and Jones admits that Slice, real name Kevin Ferguson, poses a huge threat. "He's a big streetfighter with a lot of power, so early in the fight he can be very dangerous, Jones stated at the event press conference on Thursday. But as the fight goes on, my mental experience should take over. For the first five rounds he will be very deadly. Although the final details of the contest have yet to be ironed out, the fight has been agreed and there is expected to me more exciting fights added to card to mark the islands celebrations. Ferguson, 38, has baby-stepped his way through the initial part of a timid boxing career by amassing a 5-0 record against journeyman and MMA fighters, but is known for packing one of the most feared punches in the fighting business. 43 year-old Jones on the other hand, has vast experience in the ring and will no doubt aim to use his speed and wits to avoid the Bahamians one-punch knockout power in a clash that is sure to wow the Jamaican fans as long as it lasts.
Roy Jones has gone from being in the conversation for G.O.A.T, to a Court Jester. If somehow Kimbo lands something on his chin, the cycle of shame will be complete.
Hate watching such a talented fighter as roy jones 'WAS' then continue his career when he should be long retired, what is going through his head?!
If this bum KOs RJJ it would be awful imagine the Youtube comments from that Kimbos fanboys but surely RJJs not that bad yet it still took Lebedev 10rounds to KO him.
