Roy Jones Jr vs Anthony Pettis Prediction, Betting Tips & Odds │01 April, 2023

Six years after announcing that he won’t fight again, living legend and boxing hall of fame, Roy Jones Jr. is back for a heavyweight contest against former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis, who will be making his professional boxing debut. The bout headlines Jorge Masvidal’s Gamebred 4, a professional boxing promotion that regularly makes fights between boxers and mixed martial artists. The PPV event will take place at Milwaukee, Wisconsin’s Fiserv Forum on Saturday, April 1. Pettis, who grew up in Milwaukee is almost twenty years younger than the multiple weight champion, Roy Jones Jr.

The 54-year-old American has had an outstanding career, winning world titles in four weight classes and achieving a remarkable 66-9 record with 47 knockouts. His best skills were his incredible speed, agility, and athleticism, as well as his flashy and entertaining fighting style. Jones Jr achieved the rare feat of being a Middleweight who ultimately won the heavyweight title. In 1993, he won the IBF Middleweight championship picking up his first world title by defeating Bernard Hopkins. The Olympic silver medalist from the Seoul Games would crown his boxing god status by winning the WBA heavyweight title in 2003 when he defeated John Ruiz. He also won several championship fights at Light heavyweight and Cruiserweight. His fighting style is very unpredictable and includes elements of cock fighting by confusing opponents by throwing hooks from all angles. He won his last fight in 2017 against Scott Sigmon despite fighting with a torn muscle according to him.

Anthony Pettis’s best moments happened over a decade ago when he jumped off the cage, then landed a switch kick on his opponent Benson Henderson while airborne. The “showtime kick” helped win him the WEC Lightweight championship. With a background in kickboxing, Anthony Pettis is known for his flashy and dynamic fighting style, with an arsenal of kicks, punches, and submissions at his disposal. In 2013, Pettis became the UFC lightweight champion. He defended it once before losing it in 2015 to Rafael dos Anjos. Since then his career has been a start-and-stop affair.

Roy Jones Jr and Anthony Pettis should not be in the same boxing conversation. The only reason the odds show anything competitive is because of the almost twenty-year age difference. At 54, Jones Jr’s legendary speed and athleticism are no more. Against a much younger man known for his ability to perform under pressure, with many of his most memorable moments coming in high-stakes fights, Jones Jr. may have a fight on his hands. Fortunately, it’s a six-rounder and the four-weight champion, with over seventy professional boxing fights, will dig deep into his boxing brain and find the knowledge to score the needed points. A decision win for me.
