Tarver is wearing white trunks with blue stitching on them. Antonio-Tarver.com is accross the butt. "Magic" and "Man" is on the back of each leg.
Jones is wearing black trunks with "JONES JR." on the waist in white letters. He also is wearing black-and-white Air Jordan boxing shoes with matching black-and-white tassels.
First round: Mostly just dancing, parrying, bobbing, weaving. Getting a feel for each other. They clearly can't stand each other. I'd say it was a draw.
Second round: Tarver pinned Jones in Jones' corner, landing some body and head shots. Advantage Tarver.
Third round: Serious punching on both sides. Jones is dangling his left in front of him, almost taunting Tarver to go after him. He does these chicken moves, immitating the chickens at his family's farm outside of Pensacola. It looks reckless and stupid. Tarver is looking to take adcantage.
Jones, though is landing hard combinations, although nothing that has stunned Tarver yet, but he's not on the attack as much this round. Round ends with fans chanting, "ROY, ROY, ROY.''
Jones is the clear favorite here. Before the fight, he came out to wave to the crowd during an undercard bout. The fans erupted as he mouthed the words, "I'm home. I'm home.''
Every time Tarver came on the screen, an avalanche of boos erupted.
Fourth round: Flurries on both sides, but this time Jones is the winner of the round. He's pressing Tarver, pushing him where he wants him. The crowd erupts wildly with every connection.
