Antonio Tarver vs. Roy Jones, Jr. III
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.
The fight's bill comes from a remark made by Tarver to Jones at center ring after the referees' instructions before the second fight. The referee asked both fighters, as is customary, if they had any questions, and Tarver stated: "Yeah, I got a question. You got any excuses tonight, Roy?"
==Background==
Tarver and Jones had fought each other twice in the previous two years. The first match took place on November 8, 2003 with Jones returning to the light heavyweight division after winning the WBA heavyweight title in his previous bout. Jones was able to narrowly defeat Tarver by majority decision to recapture the WBC light heavyweight title (which Tarver had won earlier in the year after Jones vacated it following his heavyweight title victory) and the vacant WBA super light heavyweight title and retain the IBO and ''The Ring'' light heavyweight titles that he still held. The two fighters would have a rematch the following year on May 15, 2004. This time, Tarver would pick up the victory by second round knockout, becoming the first person to knock out Jones in his professional career. Jones attempted to rebound from the first 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. Tarver would then face Johnson twice, losing the first fight by a controversial split decision, but then winning the second fight by unanimous decision to regain the IBO and ''The Ring'' titles.〔(Johnson earns split decision over Tarver ), Baltimore Sun article, 2004-12-19, Retrieved on 2013-11-25〕〔(Tarver gains revenge over Johnson ), BBC article, 2005-06-19, Retrieved on 2013-11-25〕 After Tarver's victory over Johnson, a third fight between him and Jones was made for October 1, 2005. Unlike the previous two fights, the WBA and WBC light heavyweight titles were not on the line. 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.〔(Tarver and Johnson forfeit titles ), BBC article, 2004-11-10, Retrieved on 2013-11-25〕
