Is RJJ done for?

My co-worker is one of the biggest RJJ fans you'll ever meet.

He agrees with me that he should call it a career and get on with life.

i think it was stage cuz the most of the time RJ had his hand down. and before the ko he had his hands down. boxers don't always have there hands down.

Unfortunately Roy always seems to have his front hand down when he fights. It's a bad habit, but he usually gets away with it because he's so fast. ie. There's no reason to keep his front hand up if he can slip 95% of your punches, or if he throws his jab from his hips hits you like 4 times and right back down to his hips. Unfortunately it finally caught up to him. Other fighters figured him out, he's no longer indestructable.

i just don't know. before the fight with taver he looked scaried like he knew he was going to get knock out. then after all these years he loses twice in the row. it just seems fishy to me.
