We worked on a Tyson fight and it fell through. We wanted Lennox Lewis, but he's not fighting." Jones considered fighting Corrie Sanders but decided against it. "Why would I fight a guy who's 6-4, lefthanded and doesn't have a title for less money than I made to fight John Ruiz?" Jones asked rhetorically.

He claimed he was distracted by the chaos in his corner caused by his father trying to take control from co-trainer Alton Merkerson. He said the agreement was for his father to have his say between rounds and then for Merkerson to offer his advice. "If he sticks to the plan, it works for everybody, but my father didn't stick to the plan," Jones said.

Jones Knocks Down Trinidad Twice on Way to Victory
By John Eligon, The New York Times, January 20, 2008
Roy Jones Jr. had an entourage of rappers with him at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night. He had a shiny crown, a menacing grin and some dance moves to boot.
Yes, Jones still possesses much of the flair that made him one of boxing’s most popular figures over the past two decades. On Saturday night, he showed that he still had some boxing skills, too.
With an impressive display of lightning-quick combinations, Jones knocked down Felix Trinidad twice on the way to a dominating unanimous decision in a 170-pound fight. Jones won by 116-110 on two judges’ score cards and by 117-109 on the third.

The fight was originally scheduled for September 20, 2008 but was postponed because Calzaghe injured his right wrist while training.
There was a crowd of 14,152 at Madison Square Garden.
The fight generated 225,000 PPV buys.
This was Calzaghe's last fight. He announced his retirement from Boxing on February 5, 2009.

The fight was the main event of a pay-per-view titled "March Badness" that included both boxing and mixed martial arts matches.
Jones Jr. (52-5) came in ranked as the #6 light heavyweight in the world by The Ring. In his previous fight, he lost a lopsided decision to Joe Calzaghe for The Ring light heavyweight title. Sheika (27-8) came in having lost six of his last ten bouts. It was only his second fight since September of 2005.
Jones Jr. used distance and hand speed to land almost at will against the ring-rusty Sheika. As pay-per-view announcer Bob Sheridan observed, Sheika was "a perfect opponent for Roy."
Sheika suffered a bad cut on the bridge of his nose early in the fifth round. At 1:45, referee Tommy Kimmons stepped in and waved an end to the bout. Sheika was very disappointed with what he and his corner felt was an early stoppage. Sheika did not appear to be visibly shaken by the punches, but Jones was in total command and landing a lot of shots to the head. Bob Sheridan called it "a good stoppage."
In the post-fight interview, when asked if he would fight again, Jones Jr. turned to his hometown crowd and asked, "Do ya'll want me back?" His fans answered with a resounding yes. "Well, ya'll heard what they said," he responded. "I guess I better get back to training...let my hands heal up for a few days then I'm back."

Jones vs. Lacy was the main event of a card titled "Hook City."
The card was co-promoted by Square Ring (Jones' company) and Left Hook Promotions (Lacy's company).
Lacy was a 3½-1 underdog.
The Ring ranked Jones as the #6 light heavyweight contender in the world. Lacy was not ranked by the publication.
The bout was delayed 25 minutes due to a dispute over what type of gloves the fighters would wear. Although Jones insisted the contract stated the fighters would use Grant gloves, Lacy, at the last minute, demanded they use Everlast gloves. The fighters went back and forth until Jones relented and agreed to wear Everlast gloves. According to John Wirt, CEO of Square Ring, the Mississippi commission fined Lacy $25,000 for the incident.
Jones landed 249 of 500 punches (50%) and Lacy connected on 104 of 429 (24%).

When Jones negotiated his deal with 12 Knockout Promotions, the fight's promoter, he was assured that Kostecki would not start serving his sentence until after the fight. 12 Knockout Promotions tried to secure a temporary release for Kostecki but were unsuccessful. Their final request was denied on the morning of the weigh-in. Pawel Glazewski, who was on standby all week for the imprisoned Kostecki, stepped in as a replacement. Glazewski was 17-0 and ranked #9 at light heavyweight by the WBC.
Fightnews.com reported: "Jones was quick enough and sharp enough to outscore the light punching Glazewski early on. Jones was doing a lot of showboating in the bout until Glazewski dropped him with a left hook in round six. Glazewski outworked Jones after that, but Roy landed some good punches in round ten that slightly staggered Glazewski and likely won the bout for him."

Roy Jones TKO2 Willie Williams... Boxing legend Roy Jones continues to fight and win, although the level of his competition keeps dropping. Because Jones is 46 years old and has suffered through some big knockouts, that is a good thing. On Friday, the Roy Jones show came to Concord, North Carolina, where Jones easily defeated Willie Williams in two rounds.

Jones, who has now won his last seven bouts, repeatedly beat Vasquez to the punch during the brief fight. Vasquez, who has lost five of his last six bouts, would land an occasional hook or right during these exchanges.
