    Good question. Cause it was PPV or I didn't have cable TV at the time. I can't remember which.

    Did you really just ask why a guy at the end of his career lost to other older fighters?

    It was ****ing SHOCKING.... maybe the most shocking moment I have seen in boxing besides Corrales turning it around in the 10th on Castillo. When Corrales did that I literally jumped up and down like a ****ing kangaroo.

    I looked at Jones the way I look at Mayweather now. Great skills, but not always taking the most interesting fights , at the same time being kind of an arrogant douche.
    I didn't expect Tarver to knock him goofy, but when he did , I enjoyed the spectacle.
    Turns out , when Roy talks boxing on HBO, he's articulate and quite likeable, and now I feel like a douche being so happy he got flattened.

    Surprising at the time. I was shocked cuz even though he didn't dominate tarver in the first fight, he was still good enough to win on points. I thought he would knockout tarver the 2nd time around and i was shocked when he got knockout.

    Why even ask the question JJ. You must know that the guy probably thinks that RJJ was in his prime while all those other guys were old. That's the way it works with these guys. I'm not joking.

    Didn't give a ****. The only surprise was how easily his chin shattered.

    A guy at work told me Jones had been KO'd in the 2nd round, and I refused to believe him until I got home and saw the crawl on ESPN. (Didn't have internets at that time). I was shocked.

    Can't wait for an upset of that in the mainstream in my lifetime (preferably to a fighter I don't like, and ive put money on to lose)
