In the words of Ike...JAHBLESS!
bit of a dud fight. vanda was content to stay inforn tof him and then randomly throw a ritgh hand. chavez musta thought he was sugaray clay jones jr when he dropped his hands and got caught by a combination.
a load of different defences are needed to compensate.
i like to box and move always throwign the jab. knowing that if they come back with anything I.E. hook,cross i am in a position to come back slip or just simply move out the way.
on the inside i personally like to cross my arms and stay just in the same distance of a right uppercut. at this distance you all body punches are either too far or too close and head shots are nullified by the block.
problem is that if your oppoant looks for it he will throw the spam jabs then as soon as you raise your arms to block from striaghts you get tagged by a left hook.
also slipping to you right (blocks left hand punches) and getting real close...just before your clinchign ais a masterful defence.
just taking a millistep back to land a right cross will keep people from swarming you.
i was looking back at my fights during my 15 fight losing streak and i noticed that i forgot to move at all...that little bounce back and forward makes it very hard top land clean shots. just leaning and ducking can get you so far, but once people put combinations together ...you had it.

Hey now don't get too carried away Ike.
I had a strategy...I wanted you to gas...it was a 15 round fight so I thought it was a good strategy...So I hardly threw any punches at you...and I let you throw LOTS at me...I did this on purpose...I wanted to knock you out in the later rounds when you have no stamina left...unfortunately for me...you only started to really gas out at round 13...so it only gave me 2 rounds to go all out for the KO or TKO... you gotta admit I almost had you in that last round.
true but i believe a man on the moon saw your stratagy.
it was a case of me either trying to swarm you to a tko which could of dragged me in to staminaliscous fight...and it seems i was in both.

How do ya work out what class u r lol I see that in a few ppls sigs.
i dunno there was a phase where a ton of guys were saying they were a certain class (viper being humble as ever saying A-) but after a while about 80% of everyone were saying class B.....well i find that funny anyways.
i think roy jones has alot of instant snap and speed that joe doesnt have where as joe uses fast combination his a to b speed is pretty average.
thing is roy hasnt got the legs that he used to and sits on the ropes which joe will def take advantage of.
joes koes have come from attrition and accuracy not form a one solid shot. his left hand is good but to ko guys he has to swing it like a bat to hurt them and against any verison of roy jones that is foolish.
i remember making a guidline manual on how to beat him on here.
in th elast round he has absolutly NO stamina it was hilarious every time i jabbed he froze...to be honest i think im the one who galvenised him to becoming more defencive.
when i retired for a year or so i had a retirment fight with dion.
won every round knocked him down 5 times and in th eend he just couldnt get out the way of the shots.
