First it was Roy Jones Jr.. Just as he graced the cover of EA Sports Fight Night 2004, Tarver made him grace the canvas for the first time in his career (2nd round K.O.). Then just 3 months later Glen Johnson helped him repeat the feat (9th round K.O.). Roy was 49-1 when EA released Fight Night 2004, with his only loss being a DQ as a result of him hitting a guy while he was down - a fight he was winning on every scorecard. Now he’s 49-3. Fast forward to this March as Bernard Hopkins, the Executioner, becomes the new coverboy for Fight Night Round 2. What happens? He loses for the first time in over 20 title defenses. Hopkins hadn’t lost since May of 1993 (to none other than Roy Jones Jr.).
That’s bad Karma..
