PPV CARD HAS BOXING & MMA
Oklahoma City, OK– Roy Jones Jr. 52-5 (38 KOs) will be stepping into the ring for the 58th time in his now twenty year professional career. Coming off a losing effort against Joe Calzaghe 46-0 (32 KOs), Jones plans to start working his way back with tough contender Omar Sheika 27-8 (18 KOs). Roy will be bringing in his dad, Roy Jones Sr. into his corner in the showdown against Sheika.
IS ROY VULNERABLE DUE TO AGE? The Palestinian-American Sheika is a hard hitting puncher with a crowd pleasing style. He will have the tough assignment of fighting the former ‘pound for pound’ king Jones in his hometown on his promotional companies’ card. I would like to see Roy win this fight and retire but he seems to have plans of continuing his career until he fulfills a dream to get back on top.
MMA SIDE OF CARD HAS LASHLEY
The card will be a hybrid card of both boxing and mixed martial arts. The MMA card features former title challenger Jeff Monson against fellow contender Roy Nelson along with former WWE and NCAA wrestling standout Bobby Lashley taking on veteran Jason Guida. The card can be seen via Pay-Per-View for an estimated $29.95 or online at Maxboxing.com or secondsout.com also at $29.95 (outside U.S. and Canada, $9.95).
