Roy Jones commented:
Roy Jones, like his nickname "Bully", has been a superstar in boxing for nearly ten years. Roy Jones has two most admirable achievements. First, he won the championship 12 times in the five years of 175 pounds lightweight. In addition to the champions of WBA, WBC and IBF, he also includes the champions of many small organizations such as IBO, WBF, IBA and NBA. The record list is a very spectacular long title list, ranging from 65432. The second is to directly challenge WBA heavyweight champion Ruiz across 190 heavyweight and succeed. This amazing move is enough to go down in history.
Roy-Jones' developed muscles, lightning speed, perfect footwork and flexible attack and defense techniques make his game have high sports aesthetic feeling and appreciation value, especially his provocative playing style, which brings together the artistic essence of Robinson, Ali, Leonard and other predecessors. He was one of the boxers with the highest box office appeal in the 1990s.
The heroes in Jin Yong's works outlined a distant "lonely for defeat". Before Taffer appeared, Roy Jones was a living "lonely loser" in reality. Whether you are an executioner or a trumpeter, don't eat under his fist! In its heyday, Jones verified the line of "Fire Cloud Evil God" in "Kung Fu": Nothing is fast and not broken. Jones ranks first in P4P with his lightning speed, elegant pace, gorgeous boxing and invincible temperament, and his position is unshakable.
But in 2003, after Jones beat Ruiz to reach the peak of his career, fate no longer favored this highly praised boxer. In 2004, he met the nemesis Taffer. He was not in the game, but was beaten by Taffer. Even in the second world war, the first two rounds were knocked down by the opponent, which shocked the world. Is this the old bully? What is even more incomprehensible is that on September 25, 2004, Jones was knocked down by the unknown Gray Johnson in the ninth round and lay on the ground for ten minutes. This is completely different from the Jones we saw in the past. In my impression, Jones is a bit like the once invincible welterweight Hoya. Even if you lose the game today, you can't lose so badly.
June 5438 +2005 10, Jones once again challenged his old rival taft, but lost to the nemesis again. Looking back, Jones proudly defeated Ruiz in 2003 and was knocked down by Taffer in two rounds in 2004. It really experienced a transition from heaven to hell. I can't help wondering what happened to Jones. Is it because he lost weight and returned to the light heavyweight? Why did you suddenly fall from a super champion to a second-rate boxer?
Jones has played two more games since then. Although they all beat their opponents, there seems to be a considerable gap compared with him a few years ago. In June 2008, Jones beat Trinidad, another boxing legend, by a big score. It's just that Ti Tuo hasn't boxed for three years, and his condition is not good. Besides, he was a welterweight boxer. To many people, Jones can't prove anything that can beat him. In June 2008, 165438+ 10, Jones faced the challenge of British unbeaten champion Carl Zahir. It was a late battle, but the 39-year-old Jones failed to seize the opportunity. Except for knocking down Kalza once in the first round, the other eleven rounds were forced to play by big names, and finally they lost by a wide score of 108- 1 19.
Jones is old, and he will never be as powerful as he used to be. But I believe boxing fans will never forget his brilliance.
1988- boxing welterweight of Seoul Olympic Games-A Korean and an American stood in the final. 17 minutes later, when the referee on duty raised the Korean's right hand high, the Koreans were so excited that they lifted the American over their heads, while the loser was indifferent and expressionless and was at the mercy of his opponent. Two minutes later, the Americans who left the Korean arms could no longer conceal their inner doubts, incomprehension and disappointment, and tears crossed their cheeks. Then the American covered his red eyes with a towel and cried, and then left the stadium silently. Perhaps no one thought at that time that such an event, which seems so irrelevant to professional boxing, would go down in boxing history and become the focus of discussion among boxing fans for many years to come. Ironically, all this is not because of how wonderful the boxing match is, but because this incident forced the Olympic Committee to change the counting rules, because if there is no helmet protection in the process, Koreans will soon be knocked down. If Koreans can or dare to stand up after being knocked down, they will be knocked down countless times in three rounds. Even if the game ends with points, statistics after the game show that Americans punch more than twice as effectively as Koreans. However, the referee chose to ignore all this and chose not to respect the audience. Koreans shamelessly accepted such a victory that did not belong to him and accepted the gold medal. What is even more ridiculous is that the winner has never been heard from since then, but the loser entered the heyday of his career from the late 1990s to the early 20th century, opening a new era in the history of professional boxing.
His steps are agile, swift and unpredictable, and his punches are quick, accurate, full of strength and changeable angles. He combines strength and speed perfectly, and his defensive skills are impeccable. Quick dodging and reaching the peak often make opponents feel unable to start. With such skills, he teased and defeated all his opponents at the peak of his career and dominated the boxing world 10 for many years. His boxing title spans four levels: welterweight, super welterweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight. More importantly, he dominated light heavyweight boxing for nearly 65,438+00 years by integrating seven light heavyweight boxing organizations: WBA, WBC, IBF, IBO, WBF, IBA and NBA7. As his opponent, it is more like a luxury in boxing. There may be many boxing fans who are critical of his flamboyant personality and attitude towards the game. They will think that his performance on the field is not inferior to Osk's personal honor winner, and he is disrespectful to his opponent, but no one can deny that he is the undisputed light heavyweight king at his peak. He is Roy Jones, known as the bully in boxing.
1May, 993 -IBF welterweight champion. Roy Jones has completely forgotten the frustration and unhappiness in Seoul. After he turned professional, he was invincible in middleweight events and once again entered the ring with a total victory, but this game was doomed to be extraordinary. Because his opponent is another legendary welterweight boxer with first-class technology and changeable tactics, bernard Hopkins, who won numerous honors in welterweight competitions in his career, is later known as bernard Hopkins, the evergreen tree and executioner of boxing, and these two top boxers wrote great legends on different stages, bringing a wonderful 12 round battle to boxing fans. Roy Jones suffered a slight injury to his left hand in the game, but he protected his injured hand well and controlled the pace of the game. Hopkins also fully demonstrated his all-round skills, and with good offensive and defensive skills, he was not afraid of such a terrible opponent. 1 hour later, after the classic, Roy Jones took the gold belt with the advantage of points, and Hopkin also won the respect of opponents and boxing fans. You know, in the 12 round before Roy Jones, he was the first fighter to leave standing, and Jones only won by a narrow margin at the scene. Since then, Roy Jones has never found any opponent who can threaten him in middleweight.
1994165438+1October -IBF Super welterweight Championship. Roy Jones Jr., whose middleweight was unstoppable, chose to upgrade. This time, his opponent is james toney, the former middleweight overlord. There is no doubt that Tony, who won the title of IBF super welterweight champion, has greater advantages in fighting capacity and boxing power, but in the face of Jones, who has more flexible steps and more changeable boxing methods, Tony is unable to turn his advantages into victory. Jones brought his skills and performances into full play. In the third round, Jones in the boxing ring suddenly opened his arms and made a cockfighting imitation show. This action completely gives up defense, which is totally contempt and provocation. Tony was shocked and immediately felt humiliated, and immediately responded with the same action, but it was this action that made Tony suffer heavy losses. Then Jones opened his arms again, and struck Tony on the cheek with a lightning-fast backhand punch from his left hand, followed by a left-handed fist that almost hit the same position. Tony couldn't keep his balance any longer and fell to the ground. Jones told his opponent with two consecutive records that this was the price he had to pay for daring to despise his opponent. Although these two heavy punches did not defeat Tony, who had strong fighting ability, and Tony quickly recovered his mind and threw himself into the game, such a quick attack completely destroyed Tony's confidence, and Tony rarely even organized an effective attack to threaten Jones. In the subsequent game, Jones easily controlled the situation and the suspense of the game disappeared. After 12 round, Roy Jones took away the gold belt of IBF's super welterweight champion without any dispute.
1March, 997 -WBC lightweight championship. Roy Jones, who successfully defended IBF super welterweight for five times, couldn't find the expected fighting feeling at this level, so he chose to upgrade and challenge again. Shortly after joining the light heavyweight, he knocked out mccarron in the ninth round and took the WBC light heavyweight champion's gold belt into his arms. This time, his opponent is Griffin. I'm afraid this day will never be forgotten for Roy Jones, because he suffered the first setback in his career and lost his golden belt that he hasn't warmed up yet. This is definitely not a classic event in Roy Jones's career, and there is not much suspense about the result of the game. Jones could have won the game easily, but the turning point came in the ninth round. Griffin stumbled, and finally got down on one knee after two consecutive right-hand punches and 1 small left-hand swing by Jones. At this time, the referee did not make any action to stop the game. After a little hesitation, Jones punched his opponent in the cheek and Griffin fell down. Jones faced the boxing fans as a winner. Two minutes later, everything changed. Jones held his head high. The tournament ruled that Jones had committed a serious foul and disqualified him. At the same time, he was deprived of the gold belt that he almost got. Jones lost the game by knocking down his opponent again, which was the only defeat at the peak of his career. On August 7 of the same year, the championship organized a rematch. This time, Griffin was not so lucky. Jones left him no chance, even a little dignity. 1 Less than 30 seconds after the round, Jones knocked Griffin down to the boxing rope like lightning. 1 half a minute later, Jones gave his opponent 1 a powerful left hook, which hurt Griffin enough to make him lose his ability to play. Griffin staggered a few steps and fell to the ground. Nothing happened.
June 65438+July 0998-WBA, WBC light heavyweight champion unified battle. Roy Jones played Deval, but he suffered heavy losses in this game, which also confirmed the advice given to him by his father Roy Jones Sr: "This is a boxing ring, not a stage. If you dare to despise your opponent in the game, only you will suffer. " There is no doubt that Roy Jones controlled the rhythm of the game most of the time and firmly held the initiative in his own hands. However, when the game entered the eighth round, there was a scene that stunned most boxing fans. Jones was hit by Val's left boxing and lay in the ring. Fortunately, Val's fist was not heavy enough to give Jones a fatal blow. Soon Jones came out of the gloom of falling to the ground, grasped the rhythm of the game again, and finally successfully brought two gold belts home through integral. This is the first time Jones has fallen in the ring in a game, but can such a setback change his attitude towards the game? No, because his boxing career has been deeply branded as a performance. Without those dazzling performances, Jones would become a stranger to boxing fans. What's more, sometimes those performances can bring great harm to opponents, destroy their self-confidence and become a weapon to defeat the enemy. Roy Jones Jr. refused to change.
March 2003 -WBA heavyweight throne battle. Autumn wind sweeps the leaves, and Roy Jones sweeps the light heavyweight boxing. No one can shake his position as king in this boxing ring. An undisputed light heavyweight king has been born, standing in front of boxing fans. Facing his victory, boxing fans have begun to feel some visual fatigue. Just when boxing fans were expecting someone to stand up and threaten him and bring some fresh breath to the boxing ring, he pulled all boxing fans' attention back to him with a shocking move, and gained weight quickly in a short time, striding over two levels to challenge the position of the most prestigious heavyweight champion in boxing. This time, his famous opponent, Tai Sen's former sparring partner, was nicknamed "Silent Man" and WBA heavyweight champion Ruiz. At that time, the weight difference between them was as high as 14kg. Maybe it's not the most disparity in boxing history, but it's definitely the most exciting game with a weight difference of more than 10kg. Before the game, most boxing fans and experts were puzzled by Jones' decision and questioned. Few people believe that he can beat a powerful opponent. More people think that he will fall in front of Ruiz in the game and pay the price for such a stupid decision, but the process is beyond most people's expectation. Ruiz can't keep up with Jones' quick and flexible butterfly steps, and his punches can't threaten Jones at all. Even every time he punches, he is hit by Jones' precise fist. In the face of Jones' initiative, Ruiz can do nothing, and sometimes he will subconsciously make protective actions only after being hit. By the second half of the competition, Ruiz remained in the ring with the professionalism necessary for a professional boxer. But all the audience could feel how fragile he was at that time. Jones used strange moves again and again to kill Ruiz's fighting spirit. Any small move will cause Ruiz to panic. What adjectives can you think of at this time? Scared, nervous. The only commendable thing about Ruiz in this game is that he can still stand firm in the ring after so many heavy blows. How much fighting capacity and courage do you need? 12 round, the game is not over yet. Roy Jones raised his arms in the ring, facing the audience, while Ruiz faced the opponent who only observed his movements by corner light, and there was still no way but to swallow those humiliations silently. Roy Jones once again created a miracle and reached the peak of his career.
July 2004-Jones vs tafel. After becoming the heavyweight champion representing the highest honor of boxing, Roy Jones began to understand that heavyweight boxing was not the best stage for his performance. His boxing power and fighting ability are much worse than his opponent's, so he made a wrong choice and returned to the lightweight boxing ring that he was very familiar with in a short time. However, he ignored a natural law. He experienced a heavy weight loss and returned to the lightweight boxing stage in terms of speed, strength, pace and physical coordination. On June165438+1October, 2003, Jones and former sparring partner Tafel gave boxing fans a 12 round of fighting. Although Jones won the final victory with controversial scores, almost all boxing fans can clearly feel the decline of Jones' competitive state. Eight months later, in the second round, Roy Jones suffered the first blow in his career. In the scene, it seems that Jones is still dominant, but a heavy blow suddenly strikes without warning. Tafli hit Jones in the face with a powerful left hand swing, and Jones fell to the ground immediately, losing the ability to continue fighting. This is the first time in Jones' career that he ended up fighting with KO, and it can also be said that he lost for the first time in his career. If this defeat only hit Jones' self-confidence to a great extent, then the defeat in the next World War gave Jones a fatal blow and completely destroyed Jones' fighting spirit and confidence. In September 2004, against Glenkov-Johnson, the game also ended in the form of KO. The difference is that Jones gave up all his efforts after falling to the ground, just lying quietly in the ring and staring at the ceiling silently. He even refused the help of everyone around him. Although I don't know what I was thinking, I can imagine how disappointed he was. Maybe it's hard for him to understand why he is so fragile. An unbeaten myth was broken, and Roy Jones followed him down the altar. He once created a perfect myth. As long as he can choose to retire at the right time, this myth will be spotless. It's a pity that he didn't, but chose to stubbornly believe that he could overcome the laws of nature, look for the once invincible king after the rapid decline, and finally drew a bleak ending for a legend he created on the steep slope.
June 5438+February 2008-The protagonist Joe Kazakh. Roy Jones returned to the stadium after playing the airport game intermittently. There is no doubt that the sun is setting at the age of 42. At this time, it is even difficult for him to attract the attention of young boxing fans, but there are still a group of loyal boxing fans who stubbornly hope to witness him create miracles again. 1 round, these boxing fans were pleasantly surprised to find that Jones was at the peak of his life. Although his speed and strength are not as good as before, he can still knock down Kalza in the boxing ring. Unfortunately, this performance only lasted 1 round. After that, Kalza took full control of the initiative. Without any miracle, Jones lost points. 12 round, Joe Kalza slowly closed a wonderful epic file with his fist, and a series of classics were sealed by history. Roy Jones is undoubtedly recognized as one of the most talented boxers in boxing history. He used to be so high-spirited and arrogant, but it is inevitable that he will fall into a downward trajectory. Looking at his helpless eyes, watching a lightweight invincible king helplessly come to the end of his career, he was quite silent and sorry.
20 10 On April 4th, Hopkins defeated Jones in the 12th round and won World War II. Seventeen years ago, Jones defeated Hopkins by three points:116-112.
