Jones Retains Undisputed Championship Title
(AP) Roy Jones Jr. cam e to put
on a show at the Rose G arden in
Portland Saturday - and that was
before he even threw a punch
against C linton W oods.
Jones opened his light heavy
weight title defense w ith a d an c
ing, rapping ex h ib itio n in the
stands, then cam e dow n into the
ring to show W oods w hat he really
does best.
For the better part o f six rounds
he did ju st that, pounding a gam e
but badly outclassed W oods w ith
lightning-quick punches until the
challenger’s co m er finally told the
referee to stop it at 1:29 o f the sixth.

dancing girls after a hidden elev a

they cheered even m ore w hen he
easily disposed o f W oods.
“I’m a bad d u d e,” Jones said. “I
stayed focused and kept going.
No disrespect to him , but 1 had a
little fun to n ig h t.”
