BOISE, Idaho -- A playful, far-fresher Roy Jones Jr. frustrated tired champion Prince Badi Ajamu to win the NABO light-heavyweight title Saturday night.
All three judges scored the fight 119-106 for Jones.
Announced as "arguably the greatest pound-for-pound fighter in boxing history" before his first fight in 10 months, Jones (50-4) was merely the greater fighter in the Qwest Arena ring in winning his sixth belt in four different weight classes.
He withstood Ajamu's immediate, wild flurry that began the fight and controlled the final 11 rounds -- with repeated body shots early and head blows late -- for his first win in four bouts.
The NABO belt is lightly regarded. But after three straight defeats, two by knockout, and the long hiatus, Jones was glad to take it and presumably move on to at least one more fight.
Ajamu lost three points for repeated low blows and tired noticeably beginning in the fifth round. When the now-former champion (25-3-2) landed a right hand to Jones' head in the ninth round, it startled Jones and the crowd -- it was one of Ajamu's few telling blows in the fight.
By the end of the 10th round, Ajamu had a cut and swelling over his right eye.
And Jones had his first win in 32 months well in hand. The fight ended with Jones pleasing a standing, roaring crowd with exaggerated steps and upper cuts.
Ajamu charged at Jones immediately after the opening bell, throwing flurries of punches. The wild barrage continued through the opening minute, with Ajamu chasing Jones across the ring.
Jones held his gloves over his ears and deflected much of the early barrage. The fight then settled into Jones working repeated body punches and Ajamu defending more -- with Jones smiling at his opponent and the couple thousand fans throughout.
At the end of round three, Jones' best round of aggression, he playfully stuck his tongue out to the cheering crowd at half-full arena.
"Keep comin'!" Ajamu's cornermen kept imploring to their fighter.
He did -- but with few scoring blows.
Jones, meanwhile, kept playing. He exaggerated holding his arms up while coming out of clenches. He pranced around the ring after breaks. And "ooohh!" was Jones' audible reaction to landing a right-hand body shot late in the fifth round.
Ajamu tired noticeably in the middle rounds. He huffed heavily through his mouth and continually lowered his shoulders to push Jones into a clench on the ropes.
One minute into round seven, after a couple of warnings and many Jones' complaints, referee Jerry Armstrong deducted a point from Ajamu for another low blow during a tie-up. One minute and another Jones complaint later, Armstrong took away another point from the champion for the same offense.
Jones, meanwhile, continued to pound Ajamu's ribs with left-hand leads immediately following the many clenches.
An increasingly frustrated Ajamu lost yet another point for another low blow during a clench late in the eighth.
Jones last win Nov. 8, 2003, when he beat Antonio Tarver for the WBC and IBO light heavyweight titles. Tarver then beat Jones twice in rematches.
The 34-year-old Ajamu's last loss had been on April 24, 2004, to Otis Grant. He had won six straight bouts.
On the undercard, William Guthrie of Palm Beach, Fla., stopped Luke Munsen of Spokane, Wash., with a technical knockout in the fifth round to win the vacant IBF International Cruiserweight title
And 41-year-old cruiserweight Arthur Williams (43-14-1) stopped Kenny Keene (51-4) of Emmett, Idaho, with a 10th round TKO. Keene, 38, said after the fight he would retire.Comment
