Roy Jones Jr vs Pawel Glazewski FULL FIGHT | 64 2012-06-30 : Pawel Glazewski 182¾ lbs lost to Roy Jones Jr 183¾ lbs by SD in round 10 of 10 Location: Atlas Arena, Lodz, Poland Referee: Dave Parris Judge: Predrag Aleksic 93-96 Judge: Bela Florian 95-94 Judge: Juergen Langos 94-96 43-year-old Roy Jones Jr. was originally scheduled to fight Dawid Kostecki, who was 39-1 and ranked #4 at light heavyweight by the WBC. However, Kostecki was arrested on June 19 in order to begin serving a 2½-year prison sentence for a prior conviction of running a prostitution ring. 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." ESPN's Dan Rafael scored the bout 97-92 for Glazewski and BoxingScene had it 98-91 for Glazewski. Roy Jones Jr. | Roy Levesta Jones Jr. (born January 16, 1969) is an American professional boxer, boxing commentator, boxing trainer, rapper, and actor who holds dual American and Russian citizenship. He is a former six-time, four-weight world champion, having held titles at middleweight, super middleweight, light heavyweight, and heavyweight, and is the only boxer in history to start his professional career as a light middleweight and go on to win a heavyweight title. As an amateur he represented the United States at the 1988 Summer Olympics, winning a silver medal in the light middleweight division. Jones, who is considered by many to be one of the best boxers of all time, pound for pound, left his mark in the sport's history when he won the WBA heavyweight title in 2003, becoming the first former middleweight champion to win a heavyweight title in 106 years. He also became the undisputed light heavyweight champion in 1999, by unifying the WBA, WBC, and IBF titles. During his prime, Jones was known for possessing exceptional hand speed, athleticism, movement and reflexes. The Boxing Writers Association of America (BWAA) named Jones as the Fighter of the Decade for the 1990s. He was also named Fighter of the Year for 2003 by the World Boxing Hall of Fame, and is a three-time winner of the Best Boxer ESPY Award (1996, 2000, and 2003). Jones won the 1984 United States National Junior Olympics in the 119 lb (54 kg) weight division, the 1986 United States National Golden Gloves in the 139 lb (63 kg) division, and the 1987 United States National Golden Gloves in the 156 lb (71 kg) division. As an amateur, he ended his career with a 121–13 record. Jones represented the United States at the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games, where he won the silver medal.[1] He dominated his opponents, never losing a single round en route to the final. His participation in the final was met with controversy when he lost a 3–2 decision to South Korean fighter Park Si-Hun despite pummeling Park for three rounds, landing 86 punches to Park's 32.[1] Allegedly, Park himself apologized to Jones afterward and the referee told Jones that he was dumbstruck by the judges' decision.[2] One judge shortly thereafter admitted the decision was a mistake and all three judges voting against Jones were eventually suspended. An official IOC investigation ending in 1997 found that, although the offending judges had been wined and dined by South Korean organisers, there was no evidence of corruption in the boxing events in Seoul.[3] Jones was awarded the Val Barker trophy, as the best stylistic boxer of the 1988 games, which was only the third and to this day the last time in the competition's history when the award did not go to one of the gold medal winners. The incident led Olympic organizers to establish a new scoring system for Olympic boxing On turning professional, he had already sparred with many professional boxers, including NABF Champion Ronnie Essett, IBF Champion Lindell Holmes and Sugar Ray Leonard. Jones began as a professional on May 6, 1989, knocking out Ricky Randall in two rounds in Pensacola at the Bayfront Auditorium. For his next fight, he faced the more experienced Stephan Johnson in Atlantic City, beating him by a knockout in round eight.
