Jones Stops Mccallum

Mike McCallum, one of the best fighters of the 1980s, met Roy Jones Jr., one of the best of the ‘90s, and Jones proved beyond a doubt that this is no longer McCallum’s time.

Jones won every round on the cards of all three judges and won the vacant WBC light heavyweight championship Friday. The 27-year-old Jones was just too fast for McCallum, who turns 40 Dec. 7.

Jones, who also holds the IBF super welterweight title, became a champion for the third time. He also has held the IBF middleweight crown.

Jones knocked down McCallum at the bell ending the 10th round with a left hook to the body and a right to the jaw.
