    RJJ by UD.
    Even though Danny was drained when he fought Choc, Choc is a poor mans RJJ and the handspeed would be too much imo.

    True if Choc made him dizzy, imagine what Roy will do, he will think he is fighting 3 guys.
    Cant see anything other than a wide UD to Roy, Danny has loads of courage so cant see him getting knocked out

    The speed will beat Green, and may fluster him enough that he gets wild and careless. I don't think he'll get KO'd but it could happen. Then again, Danny could get a few good stiff shots in too, that might swing things. RJJ by decision, but I will be supporting Green.

    I'm going out on a limb here and picking Green by TKO/KO.

    I didn't see the fights yesterday but I think if Green can rattle RJJ early with his jab, RJJ will be gunshy for the rest of the fight and Green will outwork him, stopping him late (8th or 10th).

    Roy will breeze in a comfortable decision. Mandy would still box Greens ears off. Green looks a lot slower at the heavier weight, seemed to be blowing hard after 4 rds & if he kissed his biceps one more time I would of been up for a new screen on my mates tv. Good fight for the Oz public but Green's dreaming if he thinks he can beat Roy.

    I think a lot of people are forgetting Green is a far superior fighter to what Lacy is today. And Green has a stiff jab and a much better work rate.

    true he is far superior to lacy but still the Argie caught him a few times and he had no jab to speak of and threw windmill punches.RJJ even thought he beat a shot to **** fighter still has the type of style that will befuddle danny and it will basically be green /mundine revisited i think.ROY may even knock him out as he will be less tentative than mundine.

    I am going out on a limb here and am gonna say because it is for the IBO Cruiserweight World title they will be fighting at the cruiserweight limit. Cannot be sure however. Before seeing todays fights I thought green had a reasonable chance of beating Roy. After the fight I am hoping that Roy doesn't play with him and make him look like a fool as he did with Lacey. Loved how Roy was talking with Green right throughout the fight. lacey was disappointing but Roy was still super quick Roy by wide Margin dont think Roy has the KO punch and Green will go all day

    jones will make green look silly many times if they fight, thats what jones does when he is on song. he does it to most boxers to some extent. there is little argument about that.

    danny green may be hated by many on here and be thought of as an average fighter at best, but if he uses his jab properly and is able to tag jones enough with a few bombs then i think it jones will play it really safe. if green can draw jones in to engage with him then green no doubt has a better then average chance of getting an upset win over jones.

    Agree with others regards comparison to Green vs Mundine. Danny was able to land his jab on Mundine, but by the time his right arrived, Mundine was gone...repeatedly.

    There's no doubt IMO that Green will be going in to win it and give 100% along the way. But if Jones comes as well prepared as he did against Lacy, where he had enough time to play up to the crowd and still embarrass him, Jones' fast hands should win the day.

    RJJ will embarrass green. It will be bad for the green fans to witness..
