 Moscow, Russia (December 12, 2015)--At age 46, the skills which once made Roy Jones Jr. the best boxer in the world are only memories. Jones, 62-9 with 45 knockouts, Pensacola, Florida, was knocked out in the fourth round by cruiserweight Enzo Maccarinelli at VTB Arena in Moscow, Russia.

 

At 35, Maccarinelli, 41-7 with 33 knockouts, Awansea, United Kingdom, is past his prime, but he still has power shot power and his legs move well. Jones, on the other hand, tried to remain defensive on the ropes, and Roy is no Muhammad Ali. Roy’s legs and skills are memories, and his eight bout win street over padded opposition was not helpful against a real fighter like Enzo.

 

A combination left hook and right uppercut dropped Jones in the fourth. Roy beat the count, but an overhand right hook to the head sent Jones face first to the canvas knocked out. Jones was standing in front of Maccarinelli with his left guard down, offering a free target, and Maccarinelli put Roy out of his misery, not altogether unexpected given Roy’s age and skills at this point. Roy was fishing for another world title shot. It was not to be.

 

Roy Jones Jr. is a fine sports commentator. For tomorrow, that is Roy’s future.

 

Result: Enzo Maccareinelli KO 4 Roy Jones Jr., Cruiserweights

Time: 1:59 of the fourth round. Referee: Ingo Barrabas
