Guven the fight is at CW I'd have expected him to be chunkier already.

Yes. I think Enzo needs to go on the Yusaf Mack liquid protein diet...

Roy Jones Jr. says his December 12 fight in Russia against Enzo Maccarinelli will be it. “The fight on December 12th will be the last in my career,” said the 46-year-old Jones at a press conference in Moscow.

Christ Roy looks old. For a black guy he really has aged badly.

He seemed to age overnight when he made weight for that tarver fight - he really must have taken some diabolical liberties with his body.
The biggest liberty you can take with your body is to continually get hit in the head. Roy has taken way too much of it and it is starting to show. Old age is unlikely to be kind to Roy.

I've seen some papers recently which suggests a link between concussion and dementia like symptoms especially early onset. Getting sparked out continually is highly likely to be very bad for you neurologicaly. Let's hope Roy can avoid being kayoed again.

Exactly that is being seen in football players as well.

Yeah there's a big problem in the U.S with American footballers suffering from early onset dementia. There was some recent case where the family of a former player, in his 40's suing the club I seem to recall.

In a way, you can't blame Floyd mayweather for fighting as he does. Why jeapordise your health?

Anyone know if this is still on, not on boxrec now and neither man has a fight listed, sure it was up there before. Enzo definitely in the gym
and training but strange it's disappeared.
