Roy Jones Jr. Shadow Boxing at UFC Performance Institute Highlights 

I see a lot of people talking shit about Roy shadowboxing in this video. Really? You think you can teach Roy Jones Jr something about shadowboxing? He's not fully extending his punches because that's not what he's doing it for. He's visualizing an opponent in front of him and working on positioning, movement and specific mini scenarios in his head like countering and drawing an opponent out. You can see when he's throwing 1-1-2 and then pulling straight back after the right hand. Then you see him switch it up by pulling back and rolling away to the side to change up the rhythm. If we were to put the workload in percentages, his body is working on 30% and his mind is on 70%. That's why he doesn't bother to follow through with the punches and raise up the heart rate - he's upgrading his software, rather than his hardware. Lastly, Roy is close to 50 years old. OF COURSE he's gonna slow down and at that age you need to slowly warm the body up before you do anything at 100%. All I'm saying is, let's not forget who we're talking about and appreciate a legend: Roy Jones freaking JR knows how to box. Y'all musta forgot.

Iron Mike and Roy Jones Jr. my two favorite boxers of all time.

Favorite boxer of all time, never seen someone with so much power and speed combined before. He's clearly much older here but can still crack.

"Can't be touched Can't be stopped Can't be moved Can't be rocked Can't be shook We hot When will you niggaz learn!" Fuck yeah one of the sports most exciting/entertaining boxer show some respect you younglings, do your thing champ.

Boxers always have the fight instinct in them even after they retire, it’s great to see Roy Jones back at what he loves.

forever a Legend

The acronym “G.O.A.T” is usually thrown around to easily these days, but in the Case of Roy GOAT doesn’t do him justice..He’s Easily one of the top Five boxers who ever lived, no matter the weight class..

Best lead hook to ever exist

you can tell hes working and cardio and fluidity.... most important part is when he doesnt like his footwork or motion, he acts like he got it and resets....that's because he is doing one of the most important things in shadowboxing....Visualizing. In his head he fighting somebody! cool stuff.

This man was the best fighter that ever lived ... and I mean EVER.... unmatched speed timing and god given ability , there wasn't a man alive that could beat him in his prime ...

Roy looking good for his age.

Legend, best of luck in your retirement Roy, thanks for entertaining us for so many years..

I could watch Roy shadow box all day. Just the sweetest to ever do it.

I wish I watched boxing during Roy Jones Jrs reign, I’ve watched his fights but I’d loved to been there for the hype and the awe. Greatest boxer imo

My favorite boxer ever. Thank God for roy jones jr and he's dope on the Mic. Can't be touched

This was the real G.O.A.T when he was in his prime.

Roy Jones vs Hopkins One last time

Roy is still my favorite boxer of all time but he should definitely pop a squat somewhere and enjoy his family.. Love you Roy! 👊

I still wanna see him fight Anderson

In his prime he was untouchable

One of the Goats in his prime, really wish he would hang them up and call it a day, he has no reason to keep fighting anymore.

The real GOAT.

Woooh that's a bad dude!

A gust of wind and he does the chicken dance. Close all the windows before he starts wobbling.

It would be cool if the UFC lands an athlete like this. The skills are evolving quickly, but the limited tiers and talent pool are lacking, which means less of the weak are weeded out. Plus the amount money the lower class fighters get, a truly elite gifted athlete with choices will not pick MMA or boxing for that matter.

Roy needs to come read this comment section, he would learn new things for his game. Theirs so many legit top class trainers up in this bitch, he would be spoilt for choice.

That's it Champ body head !!!

People remember Roy for the flash, but he was one of the most technically sound boxers in modern boxing. The man could do it all.

To this day I'm still pissed off at the referee in his fight with Lebedev.

My G.O.A.T boxer!

Jones would be a scary opponent for anyone in the UFC in his weight class today.

Jesus Christ, old Roy Jones can crack.

He is still so dam fast even in his 40’s......

Mac

as a man that boxed at a pro level that is scary still

I’m 28 years old, I’m fit, healthy and I’ve been training and competing in Muay Thai with a little boxing since 2007. And I STILL wouldn’t fight this man. Fuck that.

Imagine if Roy and tyson had a dream match

I'd pay to see him go against Tyson in the present.

Hands so fast people here can't even see him extend those arms lol

Roy JONES vs Maywheather in UFC who would b down 2watch it

Seems he vividly visualize opponent ..

ALL TIME GREAT.... HOPING HE RETIRES SOON, ALOT OF MILEAGE!!!!

Roy, PUHLEEZE keep that tux on bro, you did your thang, ain't no sense in getting your head bashed in.

Roy Jone will knock you the fuck out still. He is getting older, but his still skilled and dangerous.
