Antonio Tarver vs. Roy Jones, Jr. III, billed as "No Excuses", was a professional boxing match contested on October 1, 2005 the IBO and The Ring light heavyweight championships (both held by Tarver) and the vacant NBA light heavyweight championship.
•
After winning the titles from Jones in the second fight, Tarver vacated both titles, choosing to face Johnson (who also vacated his IBF title) rather than the mandatory challenger Paul Briggs.
•
Jones attempted to rebound from the fist sound defeat of his career by challenging Glen Johnson for the IBF light heavyweight title, but Jones was dominated for much of the fight before being knocked out in the ninth.
The behind the scenes storylines involving this fight helped build up fan interest too: Mayorga, nicknamed "El Matador" ("The Killer"), had been active for the two previous years, settling for a no contest and a knockout win (in a rematch) against Andrew Lewis, then defeating Vernon Forrest twice before losing to Cory Spinks, all in world title fights.
The 39-year old Jones, meanwhile, had lost three consecutive fights in 2004 and 2005 and though he had won his two previous fights in dominating fashion, they had been against lightly-regarded opponents in Prince Badi Ajamu and Anthony Hanshaw.
James Toney vs. Roy Jones, Jr., billed as "The Uncivil War", was a professional boxing match held on November 14, 1994, for the IBF super middleweight championship.
