      He didn’t. He tried to avoid southpaws as much as possible. Roy even said it himself

      @@The1whoStrives Roy said it himself. He really had no choice but to deal with southpaws as a light heavyweight because there were so many in the division. All you need to do is look it up (it was mentioned at the 6:29 mark), but judging by your response I can tell that you won’t look it up…

    When Harding lowered his hands, Roy targeted his arms, and when he raised his hands, Roy targeted his body.

    You can clearly see the bicep muscle deformation in the left arm of Harding... He clearly couldn't throw the left.

    In round 8, Jones wanted to see if Harding still had power in his right hand, after he targeted it. You can tell that Jones allowed Harding to hit him in that round.

      Harding was a decent fighter and he gave Roy trouble. Roy looked like he had a bad night though. Harding dominated Tarver (their first fight) and had won a close fight vs. M. Griffin. He was a worthy opponent but a 30-1 underdog. He tore the bicep in his left arm in round 2.

    I feel sorry for Eric, although behind on the score cards he was game and was even ahead or at least even through 6. Somewhere in the 7th to 9th round exchanges he hurt/tore the bicep muscle, rendering his left hand useless from then on. And still he hung in there, not running or playing rope-a-dope but fighting as best he could!

    • @robotboy719
      @robotboy719 3 года назад

      That's the right call. At first I thought he was throwing more hooks as strategy but by about the midway point of the 9th, he isn't using the left at all. Then in the corner, he starts saying, 'I can't use the left at all.' Game effort but he would have made it to the decision. Jones really did fight a lot of boring fights, especially at Lt. heavy. Doesn't initiate action at all. He probably understood by that point his chin was questionable.

    • @gabrielsteffensen3700
      @gabrielsteffensen3700 2 года назад

      @RobotBoy71 if anything he didn’t have the best chin since his weight depletion that plays a huge factor and how he in reality was a blown up middleweight. Your chin doesn’t necessarily improve when your weight increases but the punches power does

    If it wasn't for the tear he would have given Roy more problems. You could tell Roy wasn't jumping on the kid but may have turned him to pasta in the last 2 rounds. You can't throw a punch with a torn bicep, only other guy who did that and finished the fight was SHANNON BRIGGS! and he took a beating of all beatings but still stood his ground cause HES THE CHAMP!
