Agreed on both counts:good. RJJ is one of my faves, and also one of the fighters who really got me into boxing, and it's terrible seeing him like that. Sadly, I don't think he'll retire either.
i honestly thought jones was gonna put on a show, i think the ref should have waited till he got sparked out clean
I had no idea this fight had taken place already??!?!?!? what a ****ing dumbass am I??!?! Thanks for the vid, had no idea of the result
What a ****ing shame. It's just brought anyone who was in denial about Roy being shot back down to earth. The era ended a while ago but this has really made it sink in...
Amen brother. Hard to watch a legend who turned out so many great performances getting banjoed like that against someone as average as Green
Really sad. Still a legend, I won't forget how good he was. The fact they described it as the biggest fight in Australian boxing history says more about Aussie boxing than anything else really.
that's the same shot, china-chinned guy that had Calslappy down and went the full 12 getting *****-slapped. Toney goes down as a greater fighter than Jones now, not many would've thought that 6-7 years ago. Longevity is a big part of he game, and Jones chin has also been exposed as massive egg shells.
it is not the biggest fight in Australian boxing history, Mundine v Green, made more money, fenech v Nelsen 2 was bigger and the biggest is Jack johnson v tommy burns in 1908, for the HW championship of the world
After watching it again if positive the stoppage was good. He did managed to block most of the punches, but you could see he was out on his feet the way he staggered back. And three uppercuts got through his guard.
