Anybody watch the Roy Jones vs. Ruiz fight last night on PPV? Man alive -- great fight. I mean, it was no super-duper slug fest, but man, did Roy Jones dissect Ruiz. I mean, heck, he had Ruiz second guessing himself by the third round.
The predictions in the house ranged from extreme (me) saying Roy would knock him out in the 5th, to the conservative (Jude) saying Roy would win in a decision. But if you watched it -- did you see the 4th round? Ruiz stumbled big-time and what that would have looked like to see Ruiz fall. Holy moley.
Great fight, nonetheless, and of course, people will try to minimize the thunder by saying that Roy didn't face a super-talented heavyweight like a Byrd or Lewis, but for the love of Pete, the man stepped up the challenge.
Congratulations to Roy Jones, Jr.. honestly, the best pound for pound fighter this generation has ever seen. (oh boy, here comes the flame responses from you old timers)
