5 biggest upsets in boxing history

#4 Roy Jones Jr. vs Antonio Tarver

Tarver destroyed RJJ in the rematch.

Roy Jones Jr. first fought Antonio Tarver in November of 2003, with the rematch taking place a few months later in 2004.

Jones looked to be in cruise control, tagging Tarver at will, when out of nowhere, the underdog caught Roy with a monstrous left hand, felling him like a tree.

Now 48 years old, Roy looks back at a career that could have been had he not eaten that bomb at the hands of Tarver. Make no mistake about it, Jones still is a legit Hall-of-Famer, but his boxing career took a nosedive after the KO loss to Tarver.

As per several sources, 2017 may very well be year RJJ decides to hang up the gloves for good. The fans have also got a confirmation of the same right from the horse’s mouth.

Regardless, the night of May 15th, 2004 will always be remembered as one of the craziest ever — one that saw Tarver change the course of boxing history with one punch.
