On this day 15 years ago Danny Green destroys Roy Jones Jnr in 122 seconds.

Man, 15 years just like that?

No one expected much from Jones by that point but getting destroyed like that was a bit pathetic.
Jones had truly the greatest fall of any elite level fighter ever.

 

I’m an Aussie and was a fan of Green but that was sad to see Roy get done like that.

It put another resounding exclamation mark on Jones’ rapid decline but he wasn’t young at any rate as at the time.

 

Cringe thread.

 

The Green - Toney sparring is intense, Loud.

Sounds cliched but the action therein is literally better than what you see in a lot of actual fights.

Watching James doing his thing off the ropes, defensively and offensively, is very satisfying.

When I first saw it I thought gee fellas, try and preserve yourselves for the real thing, lol.

 

Lacy was completely done as a fighter after losing to Calzaghe he also suffered a torn rotator cuff injury after the Calzaghe fight which effected him for the rest of his career. Lacy was never ranked in the top 10 again and never came close to world level again as i said completely shot.

Sheika only fought 2 times in 4 years coming into RJJ fight another completely washed up fighter.

Neither win meant much in the grand scheme of things.

 

Soliman threw about 1000 punches and landed at about 5 percent but i respect the mans effort Wright was levels above him but Soliman made it competitive the only way he knew how throwing alot of punches being awkward and he gave a good account of himself.

I have to say though i can't stand watching Soliman fight he has such an ugly style.
