Did you buy the RJJ fight?

[Rumsfeld]

If anyone saw it, I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on the fight, but I'm more interested in knowing whethere you purchased it.

[tampa]

heck no

[Senya13]

No, watched it for free.

[Imperial1]

hell fucking no are you insane Jones is shot and delusional.

Didn't he just win a 12 rd decision how does that make him shot ?????:huh

[BJL]

hell no. I seriously wonder how many did?

[1lehudson]

Didn't he just win a 12 rd decision how does that make him shot ?????:huhbecause a prime Jones would have waxed this guy. He would have played around with him for a few rounds then boom lights out. Todays Jones had to work hard to win a 12 UD.

Um a prime Jones mostly beat his opponents by a 12 rd ud ..What has changed ?He gets hit more he's 38 what do u expect to always be a prime fighter ????

[andyZOR]

No. No reason really... wasn't really excited for this fight. I watched Cintron, Gomez, and Wolak all win. Great night of boxing for me.

Is there not a single ESB poster who bought this? Surely I would think there must've been a few RJJ fans who did.

I'm going to download it...unless RJJ fights a bigger name on PPV, I wont order it

[jimmie]

Yes I did buy it but didnt pay attention to the undercard although it looked like Navarro got robbed vs Gainer.

How much was it? Was it worth the price you paid?

30 bucks and I have no bills I bring home about 300 a week so I didnt mind. Im a huge RJJ fan so 30 bucks to see him beat up a solid fighter trained by a piece of shit in Floyd Sr. The action wasnt bad if your a Jones which I know your not Rums :fire But he landed like 90 percent clean right straights,hurt the guy with body shots,danced alittle,put him on the canvas so for me 30 bucks was ok exept that fucking network or presentation sucks I hate small PPVs the announcers always suck and it looks so dam generic compared to a HBO card.

I thought RJJ put on a pretty good show; the fight was certainly more interesting to watch than the Cintron or Gomez fights. There was a lot of infighting on the ropes, of which Roy usually managed to beat Henshaw up pretty convincingly with most of Henshaws spastic flurries deflecting off of Jones' arms (a lot of people have characterized RJJ as "resting" or "laying back" which just isn't true). RJJ staggered the kid a number of times in the fight, but never knocked him out. The shots in the 11th that knocked Henshaw down were hard enough to bloody him up a bit. I got the impression that RJJ didn't want to finish him late because he certainly had the opportunity. This could have been a product of his less than killer instinct or his desire to get in rounds while rebuilding his career.

It was worth 30 bucks. With the lame undercard, not much more.

Yeah im sure RJJ couldve KOed numerous times but maybe he wanted to carry the kid and make him look alittle better after about 5 rounds I knew he didnt have a chance to even KO Jones as the punches started to lose steam.

[paulfv]

Bought the RJJ fight? BWAHAHAHAHA!!

Man, that's like a guy who's used to caviar eating ALPO. Hells no!

[jimmie]

RJJ called out Wladimir Klitschko after his "great" win over WHO!!!! at lightheavy, he can't even take a medicore lightheavy's punch....... Wlad would KO him in the first round with his jab.... is RJJ freakin delusional, he said he would pass the torch....WHAT!!!! The torch flew out of your hand when Tarver put your lights out, he is a legend in his own mind... what arrogance.:patsch

Wow I got Irish blood to but im ashamed to know we have that in commen cause ur a fucking moron Jones not a boxing legend :rofl

[Mind Reader]

I thought it was a great fight. You also got to see Roy in the center of the ring with his hands up pushing into hanshaw and punching....Something kind of rare to see. Hanshaw came at Roy tough the whole fight, good win for Roy I think, being as how he lost three in a row utill Prince Badi but that was a year ago.... Cut him some slack, whats wrong with taking on a solid fighter that brought a fight with him?

[Rumsfeld]

I'd be willing to cut him more slack if that sled wasn't on PPV. I had no interest in paying to see an RJJ fight when there was a superior card on for free.

That's my view.

I can understand why RJJ fans would want to buy this fight, but I'm hard-pressed to see why anyone else would buy it.

The poll results seem to reflect this.

It probably sold less than Duddy's fight, I suspect.

Although I paid the money, I think that is a fair assessment. If I wasn't an RJJ fan, I wouldn't have shelled out any cash (a lot less cash than I paid to see his last fight live, BTW). The undercard was certainly not worth even $5.00. That said, where does RJJ go to fight at present except for PPV? He's burned his bridges with HBO, probably isn't a big enough draw for Showtime and is still too big a draw for FNF.
