Jones vs green full fight

Goodbye Roy Jones

 

great commentating

 

Well at least now hopefully we won't have to suffer Jones v Hopkins - Hopkins will fight a live opponent.

Jones has been done for over half a decade, that was embarrassing.

 

hang em up roy

 

...until Green threw a punch and he was left sprawling on the canvas.

 

Why did the ref stop it? Jones was covering up and trying to get through.

 

You think it should have been left to go on?At the end when Roy was speaking to his trainer he looked badly dazed to me.Also,his legs were wobbly when he came off the ropes briefly and he threw nothing back.He had that look like what he had when he got up from the Tarver KO

 

He was wobbly but he was not bad enough to be going over despite Green throwing his hardest punches. Jones was covering up fairly well, when a guy absolutely needs to be stopped you see them not even able to get their hands up.

Look, he was probably getting stopped but Jones might have seen his way through the round and then got a minute. Who knows.

 

The ref was Howard Foster...

Still a fair stoppage though you could make the argument that Green wasn't landing flush.

 

Its a real shame alright, i just hope it convinces him to hang up his gloves. Hope he going into doing commentary on HBO full time, he's brilliant to have on it.

 

I'd just like to have seen Roy get more of a chance then that. My initial reaction watching it first time was 'Jones is blocking all of these punches and is trying to see out the storm'. Green looked impressive and it looked bad from the refs POV but he was blocking them. Then he stumbled a bit and the ref suddenly jumped in.

Ah well, I don't really care about this fight..I forgot it was on until I got home and logged on.

 

Yeah,Green hit the gloves alot so credit to Roy for that.

All in all I'm glad it was stopped.Roy doesn't need it at his age.It wasn't nice to see but then it wasn't nice to see the shell that fought guys like Ajamu and 170lb version of Trinidad.

 

He was boxing pretty good until he got caught :conf

But then thats his problem now. He's always one punch away from being KO'd, and thats not good at the top level when his reflexes are not quite there. Just on ability he can still compete, you saw he was outboxing Green with his handspeed which is still pretty amazing.

It's good in a way this happened becuase he was always getting KO'd by this version of Hopkins so I'll be glad not to see that because its not a true indication of how they'd have faired in a proper rematch. Also we might see Hopkins fight a real challenge.

 

danny green should reach celebrity status in australia now. advert for fosters and a cameo in neighbours. send hopkins over there before the county gets carried away.

 

Really sad to watch this happen to a guy who was the best of his generation and in his prime pretty much untouchable.
