Interesting article about RJJ bitching about having to load his own luggage and not having a limo pick him upatsch http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/sport/now-the-gloves-come-off-20091011-grwr.html
True. It wasn't that long before the Mundine/Green fight happened that both fighters actually came out and said that they've only seen each other in person once or twice, yet the whole of Australia thought they were all Israel and Palestine towards each other. Still, I liked the part where Green took his limo. If that actually happened then thats some funny ****.
The co promotion tour is all in the name of cash....come fight day they will be trying to knock each others head off.......anybody not agree?
Agree to an extent, in calzaghe/jones 24/7 there were flashes of roy that made him seem like a bit of a dick and other bits where he seems like a good lad, I would say this is equally true of green in his documentary.
I dont think they are mates.....I think its business....they look awkward together.....Green playing around and saying hes going to KO RJJ.....you can see Roy under his breath saying shut up you This content is protected but he smiles for the cameras instead.
I was thinking RJJ would do the same against Lacy until the accumulated punches took their toll on him.....I see the same for Green....he wont make 12 IMO :-( Green will keep coming forward and eating counters for the first 7 rounds....then when Green gasses out and lies on RJJ he will unleash his 10 punch combos and I dont thing Green will come out in the 11th. :tong However I hope I'm wrong and Green takes him out inside 7....I will be cheering Greens every punch :deal
If anything I think they were getting along etc but both have a lot of ego that is increasing towards fight night, I think for green it's dawned on him this is his biggest chance/test in his career to go down in Australian boxing history and you have to believe that Jones wants Hopkins bad so he will stop Green. I find green annoying when he refers to Jones coming to knock him out in front of his family etc as personal but the more I think about it this is true. If Australia is anything like the uk (I heard it was just slightly worse) then the name Roy Jones makes it a big fight and gets boxing fans and non boxing fans behind the event much like hatton vs tszyu in the uk. So basically I reckon green will be more fired up than roy, gives it his all but gets stopped after taking too much punishment. And after they will be m8s again.
I just watched the Jones Calzaghe fight again and had forgotten how entertaining that fight was. It really took someone with the flexibility of Joe to out-Roy Roy... That fight and the way Joe took it to Jones is enough evidence for me that Mundine, even before his bung eye and post green soliman, wouldnt have a snowballs chance in Hell against Joe. He should be happy he never fought Joe.
