Is anybody going to order this fight? It's one of the few fights I've actually been interested in for quite some time, but $50 is too rich for my blood. So, what are your predictions for this fight? Roy is one of the few fighters that I actually enjoy fighting but I don't know if his superior speed is going to help him all that much against Ruiz, who outweighs him by 40 pounds. I guess I'll be eagerly anticipating the results on Sportscenter.
We're going to a local bar and pay a $5 cover. Should be a good boxing match. Jones should win on points in a split decision is my call.
It's a PPV combat weekend! UFC last night was great (a bunch of upsets). We're going in on this fight with a bunch of other people, so I think it works out to like $5/ea. Jones should totally be able to outbox Ruiz, but I'm not sure he can stay away from him long enough. If Ruiz wins, I don't think it will be a decision. Should be pretty good, and I'm happy that the PPV crew covering it is the HBO guys (Lampley, Foreman and Merchant), who are way better than the Showtime guys. If I had gone to Korea last year, I would have brought up Roy Jones, Jr. if a local asked me about the Korean that got jobbed in speed skating.
Saw the highlights on ESPN. Man, Jones is FAST. He can throw about 20 punches before you can say "pi is approximately equal to 3.14".
