Did Danny Green hit RJJ in the temple or back of the head?
Just wondering because I still haven't watched it, just heard guys arguing about it at the gym today. Haven't watched a Roy fight since since glen johnson...

Looked a fair punch to me. Certainly wasn't a rabbit punch.

Look for yourself; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8GiIED4StU
To me it looks like Danny caught RJJ behind the ear, clearly not intentional because Roy was dipping forward...imo

Jones was just overwhelmed...He NEVER expected Green to come out like that he thought it was going to be a show case fight for him....Green would just follow him all night and get pot shotted....The shot caught him by surprise IMO...Looked to the ear more then anything....Though looking at the follow up Green really was not landing much of worth...Jones did not really look that hurt but just my opp

Yep looks like a rabbit punch, but Roy did turn his head like he always does. I guess thought the punch was coming straighter than it did. Wasn't intentional, but def see the punch landing behind the ear/head area...but WTF they stopped it because Roy covered up?!!!!! So painful to watch....

Looks like it struck around the back of the ear, it would have hurt like hell.

Gotta disagree with that.
Jones was really hurt. When he got knocked down, his legs looked gone and he had trouble getting up.
He had nothing to give back. In fact, I don't remembering him throwing anymore punches.

Yes he did. And he did it with loaded gloves from what I hear

I forgot all about the loaded gloves controversy, and those allegations were never proven false were they ?
Re: Did Danny Green hit RJJ in the temple or back of the head?
I think the stumble backwards into the ropes sealed the deal for the ref. Loaded gloves thing seemed like a desperate attempt by Jones to save fac. Why wait a month to say anything, if he saw the wraps before the fight?

I don't think anyone takes Jones' accusations seriously.

Yeah neither did I. The punch was legit too, Jones got caught cold and paid for it. Shit happens.

Except for VD takes Jones' accusations seriously.
He used to lean out like that and deflect with his arm and shoulder.
He leaned out but nothing else moved with it.

Looked like a legit punch to me. It's so sad, and hard for me to watch this video. RJJ is a legend, and to see him look like that is sad.
