ROY JONES: SPEED KILLS... BOTH WAYS!... by Aladdin Freeman
My high school coach used to always say that speed kills. There’s no substitute for being faster than the other guy, no way to practice against it; you either have it or you don’t. It’s all true, but what I wanted to know was what happens to those people who rely on speed and then one day they don’t have it anymore or everyone is as fast as them? Train wreck is the answer to that question.

JONES UPSET AGAIN IN DEVASTATING FASHION... by Tom Dickey
If you thought Roy Jones Jr.'s knockout loss against Antonio Tarver was bad, it got even worse against IBF Light heavyweight champion Glen Johnson. Johnson landed a huge overhand right that landed behind the ear of Jones, followed up by a left hook to send Jones down in the ninth round. As Jones went down the back of his head slammed against the canvas, and he was unable to make any attempt to beat the count. Just like that Glen Johnson shocked and disrupted the Boxing world.

BIG EGO vs HARD WORK... Sharkie's Machine by Frank Gonzalez, Jr.
Congratulations to Glen Johnson. He fought the perfect fight against Roy. He pressured him all night and never gave Jones the distance and respect that so many other fighters have. Johnson showed that hard work can overcome even the biggest ego in Boxing.

ROY JONES STILL TAKING STEPS... by Chris Robinson
It is very easy in life to get caught up in the motions and once a while you just need a small break to analyze things before getting back into your normal routine. From what I see of Roy Jones Jr., that could be what he is doing with his next fight...
