stephan absorbed a lot of bombs this fight without much reaction, quite amazing considering how fast RJJ put away so many later opponents with far less volume landed.
I wish someone would put together a video of all the commentators comments during the bouts over the years and how wrong they where about the boxers. I hate their comments most of the time. Talking about the boxers family, money, decisions in and out of the ring mocking them not giving them the credit they deserve etc
Commentators talking about jones not punching to the body, whole time Jones lands a couple of solid hooks to the body every round off the other guys jab
23:07 😂😂😂😂😂 now look at this. that hook to the body changed that boy whole demeanor. He was rushing in guns blazin the whole round before that. After that hook landed u can see on his face he was a changed man. He was became super hesitant to come back in lol
23:11 look he stands there for a good 2 seconds asking himself if he shud go back in or not. Then he start bouncin on his toes again like naaaaah im good im stayin out here at range lmao
@@hailongkhong7826 i didnt kno that. Look i respect everybody who gets up outta bed but u cant tell me thats not funny lol. He goes on the inside to trade with young Roy Jones and quickly realizes he’s facing a legend, and gets right back on his tippy toes after 1 body shot. Thats not funny? lol cmon man
Stephen Johnson will die 10 years later from a bad KO against Paul Vaden (a former champ) in the 10th round of a vacant title bout. Well, two weeks after that fight, technically, but he never woke up. He was winning on the scorecards, and the pay was 10k. Vaden would fight once more, losing a decision - and his title - in a listless performance, before retiring.
You see the same thing with a young Floyd. I think a lot of it has to do with them moving up in weight. Harder to sit down against bigger dudes, and the natural mechanics of their punching changed as they added more muscle mass to their arms and frame. They just look a lot more snappy when they’re younger and leaner.
@@sportcoatjoditv7148 they disqualified Jones and gave him a loss after he tko’d Griffen. Let’s be clear he has over 50 wins no losses and that was at fight everyone, whenever. He could have played in one weight class and never lost. He move up and down and took every risk available to him
