ROY JONES AMATEUR RECORD

[overhand_right]

I'd be interested in seeing his record.

I'd like to see when his fights with McClellan & Liles fell etc, and who else was on his record, who he lost to yadda yadda yadda.

Anybody have his record?

[Chopping Right]

I've seen Jones quoted as going 77-5 but not the full record. Must have been 5 pretty talented guys that beat him, well 4 and the Korean robbery.

[locoxelbox]

I've seen a 121-13 record somewhere.

The losses I know Roy had were in the 1986 Goodwill Games in Moscow to Igor Rushnikov, URS.
To Andy Liebing, DDR in the World Juniors in Havana, Cuba in 1987
To Gerald McClellan in the 1988 National Golden Gloves
To Frank Liles in the 1988 National ABF
And the robbery to Si Hun Park in the 1988 Seoul Olympics.

I didn't know he fought Antonio Tarver in 1982, what were they 12 years old?

13.

It was at the Sunshine State Games.

If the piece below is actually true, what does it say about the US adhering to the safety aspect of amateur boxing, who allowed this to happen??

"Roy Jones Jr. gave a hint that he was embarking on a legendary fistic career in 1979, when, at the age of 10, he administered a sound beating to a 14-year-old who outweighed him by 16 pounds. It was Jones' first amateur fight; he weighed just 69 pounds. Before he was done fighting for cups and silver baubles, he would win 121 of 134 bouts."

Any info on Roy Jones' amateur record? Boxrec only lists bouts from 1986 onwards, having him at 18-5 for now.
121-13 seems to be his claimed record.
