Hometown hero and former four-division world champion Roy Jones Jr., (53-5, 39 KOs) outclassed Omar Sheika (27-9, 18 KOs) in winning a fifth round TKO in a light heavyweight clash on Saturday night at the Pensacola Civic Center in Pensacola, Florida. Jones was in command the whole way. Referee Tommy Kimmons waved it off almost immediately after Jones cut Sheika over the right eye. Time was 1:45. Jones adds the vacant NABO 175lb belt to his many world title straps. “I want to give thanks to Pensacola in the house,” Jones announced from the center of the ring after the fight. “I felt really good. I’m ready. With my father, Coach Merk and my team I’m more comfortable. Do you want me back? (Roy asked the crowd that responded with a thunderous yes). I’ll be coming back.”
I saw a picture and Sheika looked way out if shape.

Lets see Roy-DM at last, or Roy can just beat the crap out of DLH and sail off into the sunset

Not great from Sheika from what I'm hearing.
But Roy Jones shows there's still life in the old dog, Roy Jones v Clinton Woods for IBF title, it's been mooted and both fighters would give their all as a one last hurrah kind of thing?

Wish I'd seen this. Did Sheika test Roy's whiskers at all?
