Green KO's Jones in 60 seconds! Well it was actually 2 mins, but fuck me it seemed like just seconds. Hit him with a right hand temple shot, Jones folded like a deck of cards.

God is a concept, By which we can measure, Our pain, I'll say it again, God is a concept, By which we can measure, Our pain, I don't believe in magic, I don't believe in I-ching, I don't believe in bible, I don't believe in tarot, I don't believe in Hitler, I don't believe in Jesus, I don't believe in Kennedy, I don't believe in Buddha, I don't believe in mantra, I don't believe in Gita, I don't believe in yoga, I don't believe in kings, I don't believe in Elvis, I don't believe in Zimmerman, I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me!!
I am stunned!
Jeez !! Are you kidding me ?
Thats a long way to travel for such a short fight. Those temple shots are highly damaging, they scramble your senses, turn on the lights, 10 seconds is never enough.
Wow. I'm shocked.
Edit - It's never nice to see one of the legends of the modern era, and one of your idols get smashed like this. Fair play to Danny though, he did exactly what he said he would. And I quote " I dont just want to defeat Roy Jones Jnr, I want to destroy him". I think that warrants a destruction.

Some people say boxing is a matter of life or death, it's not, it's far more important than that.
Shocker of a result, but full credit to Green.
Maybe Jones Jr. did it just to piss off Hopkins who now has a fight against a journeyman and nobody definite in the works to follow up with. Okay, maybe not.
Jones is surely done now, there is probably no way to bounce back from that. Losing to Danny Greeen is just not what top level boxers do.
I watched it on some webcam put infront of a tv at a bit of a distance, oh well. How sad.
That was the only stream available!!! No one else had one
Do you know what they went through to set that up?
It was a middle aged australian mother with a web cam who people on justin.tv walked through setting up a ustream account.
You're lucky to see anything at all.
You can always download it later, at least we got to see it live
The Best There Is, The Best There Was, The Best There Ever Will Be
Danny Green did real well. Roy lost like a champ and gave full credit with no excuses suppose we should all follow suit.
Wonder if Joe could be coaxed out of retirement that would be a style match.
She was my daughter!... only kidding

Original & Best: The Sugar Man
Im sorry but this just goes to show how much Joe Calzaghe's career, is a farce it really is. Everyone knew Roy Jones Jr was shot, and Joe Calzaghe said he would never fight Roy Jones Jr because it wouldn't mean anything, but he did anyway. And this fight really just shows how much Joe Calzaghe's win over Roy Jones Jr is a joke.
His win over Mikkel Kessler isn't that much better either, i said last week i'd reserve judgment until i see how bad Andre Ward beat him. And really and truthfully Andre Ward made Mikkel Kessler look stupid probably winning every round, and i do know hindsight is a wonderful thing and ETC.
But if you think about it Mikkel Kessler's best win is against Anthony Mundine, who is good but how good exactly ? he hasn't fought anyone since Danny Green in 2006.
I give him credit for the Bernard Hopkins fight, but i still think he lost that fight. And i think a prime Bernard Hopkins, who had the stamina. And more punching power would of stopped Joe Calzaghe IMO.
The Chris Eubank fight is hard for me to judge, because Chris Eubank was past his prime and wasn't long coming off losing to Steve Collins x2, and he did have to lose a stupid amount of weight to fight Joe Calzaghe. But he did go on to have 2 brave efforts vs Carl Thompson, so really it all depends on how you look at it.
But other than that who else is there really ?
Robin Reid = A fighter many believe he lost to, who had also recently lost to a 40+ Thulani Malinga.
Jeff Lacy = A fighter i never thought that much of, and i've stated this many times. Even in his so called prime he had alot of trouble vs Omar Sheika, Syd Vanderpool. And since the Joe Calzaghe fight he has been embarrassing.
Sakio Bika = A nobody at that time, he has since won The Contender but no one knows how good he is really. But he was beaten one sidely by Lucian Bute.
Mario Veit = Weak chinned Mario Veit ? don't make me laugh.
Byron Mitchell = his career was so short no one knows, that much about him. He did have a close fight against Sven Ottke, but then again who didn't. He had two struggles vs Manny Siaca, and 2 close fights vs Bruno Girad. And thats basically his career, his best win is against Manny Siaca, and when Byron Mitchell comeback out of retirement, he was embarrassed by a shot Richard Hall.
Charles Brewer = Past his best and had not long lost to Antwun Echols, in a thriller. I don't really much about Charles Brewer, except he was exciting. And that he beat a shot Herol Graham after being decked a few times himself.
Richie Woodhall = Not long coming off a bad loss to Markus Beyer, where he was decked 3 times by the feather fisted Markus Beyer. Not only was Richie Woodhall past his best, he also had an injury to his right arm. Where if he missed a punch with his right arm, while its extended. It would be in alot of pain, the highlight of Richie Woodhall's career is beating a 40+ Thulani Malinga, the same one Robin Reid lost to. The only time he stepped up to world class level aka Keith Holmes, he was beaten convincingly.
Most of Joe Calzaghe's best wins are against fighters, who recently had bad losses or bad performances. Or who were past there best, his only beaten two prime fighters Jeff Lacy, Mikkel Kessler. Jeff Lacy was never that good IMO, and Mikkel Kessler i thought was a good fighter, but i did state many times i didn't know how good he was, because he had only fought one really good fighter in Anthony Mundine.
