The Riyadh Season's boxing events in May featured notable fighters but were criticized for subpar, cautious performances. Fans expressed disappointment, leading to a strong reaction from His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, who rejected passive fighting styles. Boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. lamented the missed potential during the event, stating he could deliver a more engaging performance at his age. He emphasized the need for boxers to provide exciting displays, reminiscent of past iconic boxing events. Jones Jr. also contemplated the possibility of implementing rules to minimize non-engagement in fights.
"From this point on, I don't want to see any more Tom and Jerry-type boxing matches. Where one fighter is running around the ring and the other is chasing him."
"Hurt my heart. Because I know and I promise you, man, at 56 years old, if he put me in Time Square, what I got to give y'all a Times Square performance."
