View Full Version : Roy Jones, Jr. To Oppose Jermain Taylor Bout
By Mark Vester
It appears that Roy Jones Jr.'s December 9 bout against Manny Siaca is going forward as planned. Don Steinberg reports that the bout will take place in Philadelphia, at the Liacouras Center.
The bout is actually going to be the main event of a pay-per-view telecast that will go head-to-head with the HBO telecast of Jermain Taylor's defense of the middleweight title against former junior middleweight champion Kassim Ouma. Not the best timing by Jones to have another pay-per-view against an unknown fighter, while HBO is showcasing a great bout for free on the same night.
Jones last fought in July, winning a twelve round decision over Prince Badi Ajamu, in Boise, Idaho. Prior to the Ajamu bout, Jones lost three straight bouts.

Roy has been one of my favorite fighters and probably the most naturally talented boxer to ever step into the ring.
That said, it's ridiculous this fight would be on PPV, let along opposing an other one.

It always amazed me how Roy could just mess with his best competition and still kick their ass.

I never really cared for RJJ that much. He just isn't an exciting fighter to me. He rarely really goes for it. Instead he's happy with decisions when he could finish the fight.

Jones is going down the same path Gatti did for a while there. Beating up on outmatched guys and selling tickets based on his name alone.

This hasn't been happening recently, I think he's washed up and needs to realize that. Taylor is a good boxer and will KO him...R. Jones should just remain beating up on wannabe athletes on Pros. vs. Joes.

Roys legacy is secure...no matter what.
