Antonio Tarver explains how became obsessed with getting his get back with Roy Jones Jr. 😤

Roy was never the same after he went up to heavyweight so Tarver beating Roy was not the real Roy Jones !

Roy Jones moved all the way up to heavyweight from 154. Then came all the way back down to fight Tarver. Thats what doomed him

This fight broke my heart as a youngin'. Roy was like superman. Then I hated seeing Tarver in Rocky afterwards too. But hearing Tarver talk after all these years he seems like a great guy. He talks about the sport so well & passionately.

Roy is my all time favorite fighter and I truly believe him (Roy) moving up to heavyweight then going back down messed him up no lie

Roy is my favorite boxer of all time I was at their first fight I knew Roy was in trouble during the walkout Wasn’t surprised he lost the rematch

He fought a Roy Jones Jr. that was literally half the boxer he was at that point. And Tarver was the best he ever was at that point, late bloomer. Both at their best was a 3rd Rd. KO. Roy would have got him outta there very early

“Don’t cheat yourself” you got caught for PEDs after 😂😂😂😂

Tarver broke my heart that day

He actually had a better quote.He did commentary on a Roy Jones Comeback fight! He told the the other guys his money was on jones!( his fellow commentators) your money's on jones!? Then he delivered and said: Smarty jones!( who was a famous racehorse at the time!) Lol

This whole moment was legendary” you got any excuse tonight Roy” became legendary and the knocc out is legendary too

The punch heard around the world 🔥 shout out both men

I was drunk and hurt that day 😂

Tarver was on peds at this time Stuff he was using at the time was undetectable but iirc they caught him shortly after

Bernard beat the hell out of Tarver though lol

Man made a whole career off of taking down a giant!

Wish Roy wasn’t so ambitious but that cut is real, that’s life. You get old

Wish Devin Haney had a mind like this he’s scared as shit or Ryan Garcia

It would’ve stamped him, had he not been a multi-time drug cheat🥊

Magic Man did his thing that day. Extreme confidence!

@GregHackett215

I hate this fight til this day smh always wish he met prime Roy, Roy was never the same after Ruiz smh

Gotta hurt to rely on this as your moment of greatness. He didn’t beat Roy Jones Jr he beat a man with no motivation.

Pound for pound tarver isn't mentioned Roy Jones is still top tier boxer of all time

Fundora ain’t want rematch “get back” ever since he got knocked out 😂

Roy Jr is my fave. Tarver knew it was a life changing opportunity and put in the work

Sad moment for a Roy Jones fan Tarver finished my guy

I’m gonna always feel like that was a Lucky punch Because Tarver threw that punch with his eyes closed And If You are a professional boxer throwing punches with your eyes closed and you hit your target to me that is a lucky punch🤷🏻‍♀️

I must say two months before this fight took place, I had a dream that Tarver knockout Jones. I told all my friends, when the fight happened and Jones got knocked out, there was a hush in the room. Everyone was shocked.

This was the fight I missed, I was watching the basketball crew and Charles Barkley yelled Roy Jones just got knocked out! Roy Jones got knocked out!! With the most shocked facial expression

Things like that happen when you don’t cheat yourself

Even Roy Jones was forced to lean back

U wanna talk about hurt !! 😔

This is way we train ✊
