Roy, Is one of my heroes - I cried when he lost his last two fights. But “Daddy” is here to protect his son. With Roy Sr. in Jr’s corner he will be in probobly the best shape he has been in in years. To win all Roy has to do is “Be Careful”, throw the left jab and hook, use momentum when moving side to side to further strengthen the punch, and stay focused.

I agree with “Mr. Irish” Bobby Cassidy on Roy Jones having nothing left in his gas tank after 16 years of fighting professionally. He reminds me of Julio Cesar Chavez, who looked physically impressive and prepared at 38 years of age for the Kostya Tszyu fight. And just like Chavez, Roy Jones will suffer a defeat because his head and body can no longer absorb the physical punishment that is associated in the sport of boxing.
