Anthony Pettis Bags Majority Decision Over 54-Year-Old Roy Jones Jr. (BoxingScene.com)

Former UFC and WEC world champion Anthony Pettis (1-0, 0 KOs) picked up a majority decision win over 54-year-old Hall of Famer Roy Jones Jr. (66-10, ...

But I think I did enough to win this fight. I think I educated him and taught him a lot in this fight. And it’s an honor to come here, close to the Midwest. Pettis concluded things, adding, “I would love to do it again. I want to win, or I want to lose. You know, I’m a big fan of this guy. I think it was a good fight. “I’m 1-0 as a pro and I’m excited for what the future holds.” The pair first met five years ago in an entertaining MMA struggle won by Aldo that garnered him “Performance of the Night.” I think it would be a really good rematch. Souza holds an MMA victory over Belfort, but Belfort jumped out to an early lead in their boxing contest, knocking Souza down twice in the third frame. But Pettis managed to get the win on two of the judges’ scorecards.

Roy Jones Jr.'s quick hands offered a refresher course on the fighter he was, and 36-year-old boxing newcomer Anthony Pettis responded.

Feliciano entered the night saying he wanted to make a statement and while he didn’t secure the knockout he earned the respect of his fanbase in an entertaining fight. As Zamarron had hours earlier, Feliciano had the backing of the Fiserv Forum crowd, chants of “Luis” and “Feliciano” were heard throughout the arena over the course of the competitive fight. Zamarron’s polish showed in the third round, as did the toughness of Armas, a bare-knuckle veteran making his traditional boxing debut. One judge scored the fight a draw, one had it 58-56 and the third 59-55. [Luis Feliciano](https://www.jsonline.com/story/sports/2023/01/24/unbeaten-milwaukee-boxer-luis-angel-feliciano-looks-to-advance-career/69812737007/) was victorious in his eight-round bout against Clarence Booth via a unanimous decision to remain undefeated. Young Milwaukee boxer Javier Zamarron fought newcomer Roberto Armas in one of the five fights held before the pay-per-view broadcast began, and the two energized the crowd exchanging punches almost from the bell. I don’ have any genuine beef with you, but in that moment, I felt connected to you and felt like that … Every once in a while, though, Jones’ quick hands offered a refresher course on the fighter he used to be, and as the fight wore on he became more willing to engage. “At the end of the day, win or lose, that was one of the funnest fights of my life and this has been one of the coolest experiences just fighting in a ring and us going toe to toe,” Mazany said. Afterward, Belfort said he had suffered a biceps tear in the third round that kept him from delivering a jab to set up a combination that would have finished off his opponent. Former UFC rivals Jeremy Stephens and Jose Aldo pounded each other in the face for six rounds – smiling between every one, Stephens spraying blood from both nostrils – and afterward they shared a long embrace. One of the most entertaining fights of the night ended in an unsatisfying majority draw.

They fought to a majority draw, but it was Aldo’s war of words with UFC superstar Conor McGregor after the fight that drew most of the attention to Gamebred Boxing 4. Not only was he not a newbie to fighting heading into the boxing bout with Jones, Pettis held several advantages in other areas. Belfort is a former UFC heavyweight champion, while Jacare is a UFC vet that once held the Strikeforce middleweight championship. The Gamebred Boxing 4 fight card was littered with UFC veterans and former champions. Though one judge scored the bout a 76-76 draw, the other two saw it as decisively in Pettis’s favor. Pettis has trained boxing for decades to apply it to his mixed martial arts career, in which he was a UFC and WEC (World Extreme Cagefighting) champion.
