Roy Jones Jr. is still very much in the game. I personally stopped caring for the fighter upon finding out he fights dogs and chickens as a side hobby. And makes good money doing that. What kind of crap is that fighting animals?

As a true boxing fan that normally never misses a fight, I dont pay to watch Jones Jr. fight, but this is one fight I truly regret being absent. Its about time someone shuts this loudmouth up. Ill get the tape this week from some of my sucker friends that lined his pocket with moola.

Holy crap! You know there will be a re-match.

Dont think so. Jones stated he really wants to stick with beefing heavyweights. This statement was giving at the press conference after the fight.

Anyways, who wants to see Trinidad come out of retirement to fight Mayorga?

there a downloadable movie of this somewhere? I'm actually quite happy. I used to be a Roy Jones fan till last Tarver fight. Tarver should have won that match, but finally RJJ got what he deserved. Nonetheless RJJ is still good just don't care for him anymore

:whistle: i didnt find the whole fight, but i did find a 6.8 mb movie of the knockout from different angles. look for roy jones knocked the f out from angles or something along those lines :whistle:

and i actually got the fight on pay per view with some friends, so i did get to see it while it happened. it was pretty crazy. tarver just caught him perfectly with a counter left hook. jones was down and that was all she wrote...

some highlights of the fight

? when the referee asked if anyone has any question sin the middle of the ring before the fight, tarver said he did. "do you have any excuses tonight roy?"

? it was also great to see tarver in between rounds 1 an 2 in his corner, saying to his trainer "Do not say the word respect, i got no fu**ing respect for this man"

? after the knockdown, reading roy jones' lips, and the first thing he said to the doctor is "i'm old"

i was, and i am struggling with the fact if i still am, a roy jones fan. it has nothing to do with how he lost, i will still be a fan of someone or a team if they lose (i.e. i am a knicks fan), but it is words after he lost i did not like. the announcers actually said they thought he was being humble, and yeah compared to roy jones of the past maybe he was, but still he really did not give full credit after the fight were credit was due. i just think that was bogus. i know jones has always been a arrogant, egotistical fighter when it came to words, i mean cmon he refers to himself in the third person pint of view, but he could back it up when he was arrogant. oh well he has still provided me with some great boxing moments in the past, and i will still probably pay for a fight if he does decided to move up to heavyweight and fight tyson or who knows who, but i do think jones is pretty much done and should just probably retire.

I think Buddy McGirt (Tarver's trainer) had the plan when he instilled the fact in Tarver that most boxers dont counter Jones and that its a feat quite deployable. Make no mistake, the knockout was no fluke. Jones will do much better in the heavyweights, as long as he dont get "caught". Im betting James Toney has his number.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
