Roy Jones Jr. is the man. He is the worlds best boxer pound for pound. Roy holds the WBA, WBC and IBF championship belts in the light heavyweight division. He is also ranked number 1 by a majority of the major boxing associations. And Jones doesn't just box opponents, he DESTROYS them. It's more like a clinic - have you seen Roys left hook? Aww, too late - look at you! Down on the canvas! Like lighting - Roy introduces any and all he faces to a world of pain. Thats not all - we gotta remember that Jones has STYLE, and also knows how to work a crowd. In Jones last fight (Telesco) he showed up in a sharp tuxedo ensemble and put on a show which included appearances by Method Man and RedMan on either side of him as well as Whitney Houston. And is this all? Not even. The guy is a baller, raps, and designs his own clothes!
Roy Jones Jr. kicked with the Rockettes for about 30 seconds, then pounded on David Telesco for 12 rounds as boxing came to the storied Radio City Music Hall Saturday night."You can't knock me out," the outclassed Telesco told Jones at the end of the 11th round. Jones didn't knock out his challenger for the WBA, WBC and IBF light heavyweight titles, but he punched him at will and retained the undisputed light heavyweight championship with a one-sided unanimous decision.All three judges gave Jones every round of the 12-round fight before a sellout crowd of 5,923 that turned out for the first boxing show in the history of the famed showplace that opened in 1932. Jones, who turned 31 at the start of the 12th round, which began shortly after midnight, had Telesco in real trouble. After the fight, Jones said the reason he didn't score a knockout was "because I fractured my left wrist in a motorcycle accident 3½ weeks ago. Everybody said I should cancel the fight but I said, 'I can't. I've got a big date in New York.' If I had both hands, I would have knocked him out, but I only had one hand."Jones, a 17-1 favorite, earned $1.6 million. Telesco's purse was $450,000. Roy Jones Jr., right, celebrated his 31st birthday with a unanimous victoryover David Telesco.
