That was my only complaint with him as an announcer. He always talked about himself and his fights.

Other than that, he knew exactly what to say, and always was able to predict when a fighter was about to go down. The Trinidad-Mayorga fight was a perfect example of it.

"Trinidad can end this fight with a body shot."

Trinidad went to the body, and down went Mayorga.

Roy really knows his shit when it comes to boxing.

it is a good comparison though, Paz-Roy was the only thing comparable to Gatti-Mayweather, one guy was so out classed he couldn't land a single punch. only Roy and Floyd are able to make top 10 fighters look like complete amateurs.

RJ glass chin nigger ahahaha XD

As an announcer you cant get a much better fight analyzer than Roy Jones, he calls a punch before it even lands.

@dafuksup a native speaker of English.. Google next time?

[dafuksup]

@neometalx9 theres no doubt he knows his boxing. hes an amazing boxer. i also know hes a pretty funny guy, like when he talks about himself in third person and shit. but what im saying is i cant fucking understand him half the fucking time. and wtf are you saying "a native speaker"? lmao wtf does that even mean

[neometalx9]

@dafuksup what are you saying man? he knows his shit and his comments are very funny sometimes, check up the counter right hand video lol.

im not even a native speaker and i can understand him almost perfectly....

[mcentepede]

@dafuksup Yeah you right...he is suffering from brain damage. He gets knocked out alot nowadays.

[dafuksup]

@mcentepede yeah dont get me wrong im a big roy jones boxing fan, but i dont think he should be a commentator because he cant speak properly at all and i honestly cant understand wtf he is saying here, he must have brain damage is all i can say.

[mcentepede]

@dafuksup He basically said that this reminded him of the Roy Jones vs. Pazienza Devil fight where you had a A+ Fighter outclassing a C- fighter. yes, he referred to himself in the 3rd person. Classic when he does this. Also classic when he rants on at high speeds. But, he still remains my favorite HBO announcer because of those same reasons and he knows his boxing knowledge. Plus, he actually was a great champion once. Nobody else at HBO can say that except George Foreman.

@FLOOD504 Well even when they were at their best, they weren't at the best weight when they fought Roy and Floyd respectively. Paz was his best at 154 and Gatti was his best at 130. Gatti against Floyd around say '98, would have more competitive than this. By 2005, Gatti had been in a million wars and beat up pretty bad.

The was a perfect analogy by Roy, that fight came exactly to mind when I watched May vs Gatti [yrs ago]. This is a stupid complaint and video, God Bless Gatti!!!!
