Former world champion Roy Jones Jr. (63-9, 46 KOs) returns to the ring tonight at the Pensacola Bay Center in Pensacola, Florida. The 47-year-old Jones will take on 40-year-old Rodney Moore (17-11-2, 7 KOs) in what will be his 73rd professional fight.. Jones said that as long as he keeps winning, he will continue to keep fighting.. Moore has had a mixed career, his last meaningful win was back in 2002 when he stopped Donnell Wiggins for the NABA light heavyweight title.. Since then Rodney has had only 9 fights in 13 years, all losses, at the hands of previous foe Wiggins, Andrey Fedesov, Danny Batchelder, George Khalid Jones and Quantis Graves, all by decision, he was knocked out last year by Murat Gassiev in California, and beaten on points more recently by Mike Bissett in February.. Roy acknowledges that Moore has decent power and kept respectful company at one point in his career, but really doesn't see Moore as any kind of threat to his travelling circus..
