ShakyWalton Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Good luck fan.... On March 20, former world heavyweight champion Roy Jones Jr. will step into a boxing ring in Phoenix and start trading punches with a fan. If the fan beats Jones, he can take home $100,000. That might sound insane to many people. But tough guys who believe they are the biggest, baddest man around will see this as a great chance to earn good money. Either way, the boxing match, sponsored by UR Fight, is very real. The event is part of a program featuring legends from boxing, MMA and pro wrestling in a pay-per-view broadcast. Jones, 47, is the only competitor who will be fighting a fan. If you have the right stuff — or just have nothing to lose — you can submit a 90-second video to the "Fight Roy Jones Jr. Contest" explaining why, in the words of UR Fight, "you're worthy of getting in the ring with a legend." Before you rush out to film that video, here's what Jones has to say. "Why in the world would someone sign up to get in front of me and do what I do? I don't know," he says in a video posted on the URshow.tv website. "A hundred thousand dollars is at stake if you can put me on my back for the count. It's not going to happen, but you can try." Jones had a 62-9 mark as a professional, with 45 knockouts, and he won titles in several different divisions, including heavyweight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khan is no slouch and I doubt he retires at 29. He had initially planned to retire within the next two years, but now that's apparently scrapped. As for the fight..Khan has hand speed and footwork. But I think he lacks power and will have his glass jaw shattered by Canelo. (Or broken neck ex: Garcia) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Or broken neck ex: Garcia) One thing I keep hearing is that Amir is a welterweight at best, while Canelo is definitely a middleweight fighter. The fight is set at 155 (Caneloweight as they call it haha). I think Amir is going to be drastically undersized for this fight. And people thought Cotto looked small versus Canelo.......

No doubt Canelo is the bigger, stronger fighter. I just don't think it will be completely one sided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones at 47 still fighting, did a past manager take a wack of his money? At one time the best pound for pound guy but that was 20 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khan better have his evasion dialed in for this one- Canelo going to try and walk him down the entire fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ward is a fantastic boxer. You hardly get to see him much anymore but he is by far one of the sharpest boxers I've watched in awhile. There were some great shots from below the ring that really showed just how well he feints and reacts quickly. I would say the first half of the fight was really exciting, withe the last 6 rounds being good all things considered. Barrera was the bigger guy and you could see he was looking to land some heavy shots but Ward's D was awesome. Overall I was impressed with Ward's mix of defense and aggressive counter punching being the smaller fighter as well. IMO he is the most entertaining boxer to watch right now. Him and Kovalev is going to be a fantastic fight. Kovalev has true KO power but Ward's technical ability is a treat to see too.

I did end up recording the event so I'll have to go back and look for Gervonta Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fagin Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 (edited) What a fight display by Pacquiao against a really tough fighter in Bradley and coming away with a unanimous decision involving two knockdowns for the Pac-man showing him to be back to possibly his best in years.Although he claims it was his last fight,his trainer would like him to take on Canelo and then a rematch with Mayweather.I guess we will see.
