ROY JONES JR vs. ANTONIO TARVER (2) HBO 

Description : Here we have an original full-size HBO boxing pay per view boxing fight poster for the re-match held at the Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas on 15th May 2004.

After getting a hotly disputed majority decision in their first bout, Jones decided to re-match Tarver after his proposed fight with Mike Tyson failed to come to fruition. Roy Jones got off to a good start and served as the aggressor of the first round using his trademark quickness to his advantage and easily won the first round of the fight on all three of the judge's scorecards. Jones attempted to repeat his success in the second round as Tarver held back, seemingly waiting for Jones to make a mistake. Just over midway through the round, Jones attempted to hit Tarver with a right hand, Tarver however countered with a quick left hook that dropped Jones to the canvas for only the second time in his professional career. Jones struggled to get back up but eventually made it back to his feet, however referee Jay Nady deemed Jones too hurt to continue and quickly ended the fight and Tarver was rewarded with the knockout victory. It was the second loss of Jones professional career and the first time he had been knocked out professionally, his previous loss had come by disqualification to Montell Griffin in 1997.
