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.

“I think it was a good fight. Just how Jones goes “out on his shield” is indeed a scary thought. I think it would be a really good rematch. Fans and Jones admirers have longe since given up calling for the once untouchable Jones to retire and stay retired.

Anthony Pettis outboxes Roy Jones Jr. plans MMA return (MMAWeekly)

Anthony Pettis, a former UFC lightweight champion, went big for his professional boxing debut, challenging former four-division boxing champion Roy Jones ...

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.

Anthony Pettis Earns 'Home-Cookin' Decision Over Roy Jones Jr. (Big Fight Weekend)

Anthony Pettis earned his first victory as a pro boxer by beating Roy Jones Jr. in a fight that should have been awarded to 'Captain Hook'.

Let’s hope that Jones Jr. From the start, Jones Jr. I enjoyed watching ‘Captain Hook,’ but it’s time for Jones Jr. In typical Jones Jr. The last time Jones Jr. Although Pettis was applying pressure and trying to land some punches, he was hitting nothing but forearms on the high guard of Jones Jr. But when the cards were ready, and the first one had a draw, you knew that the Milwaukee-born Pettis would get the decision in his hometown which he did (77-75, 78-74). Give it up for Roy Jones Jr., man.” Pettis continued, “I’m going to take it one fight at a time, take it day by day. was pumping that left jab, and it seemed as if Pettis was caught off guard that Jones Jr. looked more like a fighter that was the P4P King at one point in his career. did not look like he was in the best shape for that fight. was in the ring, he faced

Anthony Pettis Beats Roy Jones Jr By Majority Decision (NYFights)

Roy Jones Jr, age 54, battled MMAer Anthony Pettis (0-0 in boxing) Saturday night in Milwaukee, and lost a majority decision.

Burns made it to his feet to continue, but Cleckler swarmed Burns and quickly landed several more flush right hands, sending Burns to the canvas for a second and final time. Gonzalez was able to weather the cut, and in a rock ‘em sock ‘em back-and-forth contest that saw both women landing some very heavy shots, it was Mazany that emerged victorious by majority decision (57-57, 59-55 and 58-56). Marchiano got up in time, but referee Dave Smith had seen enough, deemed Marchiano unable to continue and stopped the fight at the 2:59 mark of the third round. “I’m 1-0 as a pro and I’m excited for what the future holds.” With the hometown crowd behind him, Feliciano served up a dazzling performance, working the body and landing some thudding headshots on Booth, who refused to back down. And it’s an honor to come here, close to the Midwest. I think I educated him and taught him a lot in this fight. But Pettis proved a more than worthy opponent and did enough to get the win on two of the judges’ scorecards. Souza, showing the heart of a former champion, had strong fourth and fifth rounds. Belfort tried to finish Souza early, but Souza was able to survive and made it to the bell. The instinct to continue combat after the masses would have expected a practitioner to call it quits is part of the package for the hardest of hardcores. I think it was a good fight.
