Roy Jones Stops Sheika

Roy Jones Stops Sheika Former four-division world champion Roy Jones Jr. outclassed Omar Sheika in winning a fifth round TKO in a light heavyweight clash on Saturday night at the Pensacola Civic Center in Pensacola, Florida.

Jones was in command the whole way. Referee Tommy Kimmons waved it off almost immediately after Jones cut Sheika over the right eye.

Jones adds the vacant NABO 175lb belt to his many world title straps.

“I want to give thanks to Pensacola in the house,” Jones announced from the center of the ring after the fight.

“I felt really good. I'm ready. With my father, Coach Merk and my team I'm more comfortable. Do you want me back? (Roy asked the crowd that responded with a thunderous yes). I'll be coming back.” fightnews
