Roy Jones Junior takes on the then undefeated Australian for all the gold. American Airlines Arena, Miami 🇺🇸 02/02/2002 #royjonesjr #GlennKelly #lightheavyweight #boxing #unstoppable
Good grief...hands behind his back, yet Jones comes up with a quick counter knockout shot. I'll bet that every trainer watching the fight either cringed or threw up a little in their mouths when they saw that. Jones Jr broke every rule in boxing, and he broke them successfully. He is truly an anomaly.
it's talent you just can't teach, everybody else would get knocked out trying to imitate his style. Keeping your hands up, your body upright and and your balance in your centre? That's just annoying limitations for Roy Jones. Your any other boxer it is their bread and butter.
I never ever stopped appreciating him I was always stunned at how easily ppl forgot, he is the GOAT p4p, we are blessed to be graced with him in our time.
rshadio wrong, his skill was speed dependent, but it followed rules of its own, the optimal way to fight when you are super fast IS NOT THE OPTIMAL WAY TO FIGHT FOR EVERYONE! MORONS LIKE YOU DONT GET THIS! If Roy was more text book he would have been a worse fighter in his prime, why throw a jab or a jab cross or a series of jabs when you can quite easily land a KO lead left hook? People like you are dumb parrots. Sure he may have lasted a bit longer with a more orthodox skill set but boxing is more about what you can do while at your best vs the best of your generation at their best He not only is a very skillful fighter, but he had to create his own "textbook" on how to fight optimally when you are obserdly fast He is the GOAT and it doesn't matter who he loses to now, because we all saw what he could do in his prime. Hes just enjoying himself now so what if he loses doesn't change the footage of him in his prime.
Roy Jones Jr had a lot of swag and style with his fighting it was very entertaining.The boxing game is missing that now nobody has swag and style the way Roy Jones Jr and a young Sugar Ray Leonard did.I miss those kinds of stylish fighters

Someone should have reminded the commentary that Jones already beat Hopkins. But Hopkins wasn't in his prime they say, well neither was Roy yet he beat Hopkins with a broken hand! Prime for prime for me it's Jones Jr anyday of the week. Few fighter's were ever at this level of talent that Jones had in his prime. One of the best to ever do it.
This is the first fight I saw of Roy Jones Jr and remember being in awe. I just wish he'd quit with the money he must've made and not kept fighting. He will always be a legend to me
Yeah, when he started showing signs of loosing his speed, i knew it was time for him to quit. He has great style, but it's all dependent of his incredible speed
glen looked like he mayve been a little more confident for a portion of the second round and seemed to adapt a little better in the fifth after he got rocked... until jones rocked him again in the sixth round that is. glenn looked like he came out in round 4 trying to be more of an aggressor, but became more weary somewhat soo after. he looked like more of an aggressor in round seven too at times, but roy seemed to consistently have something in store for him.
"We've got somewhere else to go" I'm pretty sure he meant hit him somewhere else other than the body because Kelly was expecting more body shots. Not literally, but I don't know, that,s just what I got from it
The only time I ever really saw Jones jr work hard to knock out anyone quickly was in the 2nd Montel Griffin fight. Jones jr was so good that he didn't need to go at these guys hard.
roy literally threw a knockout punch from behind his back. I don't know why roy isn't seen on the same level as tyson honestly. The stuff he did we will probably never see again.
If George Foreman was commentating you’d hear, “Oooo! The Body! The BODY!” Lol! “We got somewhere else to go!” Means he’s looking for that same punch, don’t throw it. Hit him at another angle!” I don’t think it was literally somewhere else to go.
To be honest that last shot was just a glance shot. Kelly was looking for a reason to go down and end this fight and that was his chance. He already realized he had no answer for Roy and was over it. If you don't believe me go watch it again and again. That last punch by Roy wouldn't knock my sister out and I love Roy and feel in his prime he's the best ever. The GOAT you hear me
Sit in front of Jones he will pick you apart, pressure him and keep him moving back and you take away almost everything he has, allowing his the distance he wants just shows the ability of the guys he fought and looked good against.
I like Roy but he could have fought way better comp especially at 168 and he could of fought toney a year earlier when he had a easier time making weight.
Roy in his prime was *greatness*
steward just roasting tf out of kelly the whole fight lol
great comedy!
Lmao hard!!
😂😂😂
He was cracking me up 😂😂😂
Yea, he was.

I believe, after 2 rounds, R.J.J. could have revealed his opponents I.Q. correctly. 😁

Exactly it's just ridiculous, I would never tell someone to imitate Roy. Just enjoy it ... its only 1 Roy
Yea damn right
Muhammad Ali broke every "rule" in boxing. Those with enough talent after that just copied him a little.
one of a kind ending to this fight that only Roy Jones Junior could pull off
We dont appreciate him until he is gone.. No one else is doing any of this..
I never ever stopped appreciating him I was always stunned at how easily ppl forgot, he is the GOAT p4p, we are blessed to be graced with him in our time.
Roys a idiot right now. Hes embarrassing his HOF name. Exposed as a fighter with speed and nothing more. His skill level was never truly there
rshadio

+Dan0101010101010 all that matters is he is the goat
Andre Ward is closest one
but no where near as flashy
Roy Jones was just absolutely incredible in his prime, truly one of the greatest fighters of all time p4p.
I say he's the best ever pound for pound
@@TheLionaaa he was even better than Floyd in his prime
@@Jay23445 Both were in their prime at the same time and there was no comparison.
@@TheLionaaaArguably! Ali and SR Robinson?
@@Jay23445Top 3 ever
..Robinson; Ali and Jones,Pound for pound!
The best boxer ever!!
As a supermiddleweight and light heavyweight he is without a doubt
And Kelly is one of the worst I ve ever seen.
Tha' most amazing boxer of all time! He brought the funk to the sweet science! Viva Roy jones jr!
He dam sure did
*Roy Jones Jr. was a blast to watch: among the most exciting boxers ever... all of his fights were action packed.*
Love the profile pic.
Roy Jones Jr had a lot of swag and style with his fighting it was very entertaining.The boxing game is missing that now nobody has swag and style the way Roy Jones Jr and a young Sugar Ray Leonard did.I miss those kinds of stylish fighters
ever watched vasyl lomachenko? he doesn't have swag but he's got a lot of style.
Jacob Timm Yes I've seen Lomachenko and he's a very good fighter.I love the way he uses angles when he fights
David benevidez is entertaining
Roy Jones JR was fucking class a boxing legend
Now this guy had 28 win and 15 knock outs..and no lost..RJJ took care of him..so don't tell me he ain't beat know body..Roy was a beast...get over it
Jack Shaw Thanx 4 the Truth R.J.Jr.biggest fan me.
Michael S and james toney
glenn kelly beat up a bunch of nobodies...he was a bum
IMO Sports do what??
Telesco was undefeated also. Roy beat a lot of undefeated fighters.
The best ever. His talent is unpresidented.
Absolutely!
unprecedented
@@carltonbanks5470 the unpresident, wouldn't that be Joe Biden? 😂
@@showofhands8214 LOL yes it would.
Glenn is like: WTF happened,and why am i on the floor ))))
Lmao
Manny Steward: "To beat Roy Jones you gotta be kinda stupid and just keep punching and punching" :)
Roy busy having fun at work, you got to love him lol
Absolutely!
The greatest fighter ive seen while he was in his prime. RJJ was sheer brilliance. Nobody will do the shit he did again.
Completely outclassed

Roy Jones Jr needs another Fight Night video game for PS5 of the evolution of his self & his career.
greatest fighter of all time
Yeah he one of them that's for sure
The best light heavyweight in the history, period.
Nah. A motivated Tarver would have given Roy trouble and/or straight up beaten him at any time.
@@carltonbanks5470 and half of Roy Jones Jr's opponents that he beat would mess Tarver up, he ain't definitely beating B-Hop
@@carltonbanks5470not a chance. Tarver at his best loses a comfortable decision to any version of RJJ at any time between 1991 and 2002.
@@TheHeisenBuldgehe beat Bhop
In his prime, the best I've seen in my lifetime. Was too good for his own good at times.
He should of quit after Ruiz fight
I say that all of the time. He should 've retired after he embarrassed Ruiz!
@@levarleggett476 or he could have fought Evander Holyfield or rematchedv James Toney at heavyweight but he choose not to.
33 yrs old jones was insane
producing album while mismatching opponents in the ring, prime jones surely had a cool life.
RJJ punching faces, stomachs and boxing manuals . . .
Outsmart outathletic ,That knock out is unbelievable.
Absolutely amazing.
buffer never gets old
. it's now 2016
the commentary here was awesome too. Emanuel with the technical breakdown of the fight and the other guy cracking jokes every once in a while.
Roy Jones Jr "And still at his best."
Greatest of all time
Glen Kelly?
Someone should have reminded the commentary that Jones already beat Hopkins. But Hopkins wasn't in his prime they say, well neither was Roy yet he beat Hopkins with a broken hand! Prime for prime for me it's Jones Jr anyday of the week. Few fighter's were ever at this level of talent that Jones had in his prime. One of the best to ever do it.
Roy Jones and Iron Mike, most entertaining Boxers ever to watch!
This is the first fight I saw of Roy Jones Jr and remember being in awe. I just wish he'd quit with the money he must've made and not kept fighting. He will always be a legend to me
Yeah, when he started showing signs of loosing his speed, i knew it was time for him to quit. He has great style, but it's all dependent of his incredible speed
Truly a freak of nature. I doubt we'll see his like again
Roy Jones Jr. is handsome... and the best, for all time...
ive never been into boxing til i say roy now i can enjoy boxing matches
King jones
Roy Jones Jnr - great footwork, spend and strength combined with intelligence and creativity that surpasses the rigid form of boxing.
Yeah, he swings and dance all over the place, just incredible, also that left hook's speed is something else
Not even Ali could match Roy
Ali footwork was far better in my opinion
Both great footwork and showman habilities
Roy Jones Jr show the best position all the times.
Kelly is a boxer not a fighter. You can't be scared to fight if you are a fighter. No killer instinct.
That makes a ton of sense. Rjj is just a faster boxer. He was totally out of his comfort zone. You can see it in his body language and presentation
6:41 wth is he doing
Dude was looking for the ref to help him up lmao
Have to give credit to the opponent though. He kept on fighting even though Jones was dominating the fight
"CLUMSY" 😂😂😂
Magnifique 😁👍
No one like Roy in his prime.
glen looked like he mayve been a little more confident for a portion of the second round and seemed to adapt a little better in the fifth after he got rocked... until jones rocked him again in the sixth round that is. glenn looked like he came out in round 4 trying to be more of an aggressor, but became more weary somewhat soo after. he looked like more of an aggressor in round seven too at times, but roy seemed to consistently have something in store for him.
hard for anybody to beat Jones because of the caliber fighter he was
"We've got somewhere else to go" I'm pretty sure he meant hit him somewhere else other than the body because Kelly was expecting more body shots. Not literally, but I don't know, that,s just what I got from it
Massive win
thumbnail funny asf
There are many examples.. But this one was one I really liked; what a counter! 11:02
🐐
07:01... What was the guy like with an "old mobile" doing in the background? hahahahha
Roy has ended many boxing careers. This guy was just one of them...
The commentators are very disrespectful to Kelly. I know he is not in Roy's league, but come on...
Glenn Kelly looks paid af. From his face to his performance.
Manny Stweard, 9:18: Breaking down boxing science.
Can you break down what he was saying, I'm a new boxer??
Jones should have been fighting the Brits, the German, Hopkins and Jirov during this period. These fights were a waste of everyone's time.
he fought and beat Hopkins
A rare Al Haymon sighting.
The only time I ever really saw Jones jr work hard to knock out anyone quickly was in the 2nd Montel Griffin fight. Jones jr was so good that he didn't need to go at these guys hard.
Roy aint even lookin at him.he lookin at his feet. Dats how GREAT dat nigga is
Coach in Roy Jones Jr corner sounds like Mike Epps .
Roid Jones Jr. is amazing
D DIESEL never
Travonte Gooden you sound dumb asf
28:23 You're welcome
roy literally threw a knockout punch from behind his back. I don't know why roy isn't seen on the same level as tyson honestly. The stuff he did we will probably never see again.
How did Kelly get into the ring with Jones is beyond me.
Roy in his prime.Wasa "Bad mutha."
28:20 From another world 🌍... WTF!!
Roy dont play
Anyone else noticed the guy in the background? :p
Glen Kelly's Professional Record: 31 - 3, 17 by Knockout!
Roy treated him like he was an amateur...
Glenn Kelly NEVER saw Roy Jones JR's KO Punch coming
Hey McGregor that's how u put your hands behind your back lol
please dont defile this blessed man vid with the mention of that little irish turd on same page. lol
I never noticed until Joe Rogan said it....Roy has all biceps lol no triceps
Lol
Why does my guy have the Spider Man movie font on his jacket? When was this fight?
If George Foreman was commentating you’d hear, “Oooo! The Body! The BODY!” Lol! “We got somewhere else to go!” Means he’s looking for that same punch, don’t throw it. Hit him at another angle!” I don’t think it was literally somewhere else to go.
Emmanuel Lewis is brutal he said he is not used to thinking fast or fighting fast
This is sick sick sick. Behind his back?? And then k.o?
To be honest that last shot was just a glance shot. Kelly was looking for a reason to go down and end this fight and that was his chance. He already realized he had no answer for Roy and was over it. If you don't believe me go watch it again and again. That last punch by Roy wouldn't knock my sister out and I love Roy and feel in his prime he's the best ever. The GOAT you hear me
Watched it again. No, I do not think it was a glancing shot.
Do you even want to hit him? Lmao
What year was this fight
I want to know aswell
amariah parker (2002)
2002
Only a quarter million views in six years people need to respect boxing more
He should have been rough as hell with him he clearly had no chance
Y'all see the difference in his eyes? Compared to when he was about to face Tyson. Little to no fear...
Check the crowd.... Dude in the white shirt loses his shit EVERYTIME he sees the camera
David Sees looks like he was talking to his buddy on the phone probably watching this on tv live XD
Roy jones! fUCKING legend!
This commentators do not know how to give a Boxers there Flowers 🌸
Bring back hbo boxing
Kelly fought scared (Don't blame him at all)
The Aussie is a Jeff Fenech fighter they through the fight
27:19 RJJ'S Milestone fight on HBO
10oz gloves?? Those look big
Sit in front of Jones he will pick you apart, pressure him and keep him moving back and you take away almost everything he has, allowing his the distance he wants just shows the ability of the guys he fought and looked good against.
Why didn't you get in the ring with him
I like Roy but he could have fought way better comp especially at 168 and he could of fought toney a year earlier when he had a easier time making weight.
Хорош
