So i sat for 4 hours in Acer Arena, Sydney to watch one of the greatest of all time. I sat through 3 undercards that nearly put the whole crowd to sleep, 2 not too bad fights and then it was time for the main event.

Crowd was going off, all of a sudden everyone stood up as Roy Jones surprised the crowd as he came out of a different entrance tunnel to what we expected. He looked calm and unfazed by the crowd.

Then land down under hit and the crowd was turned green by the lights and everyone broke into a chorus " I COME FROM THE LAND DOWN UNDER" and it was nearly deafening. As it came time for the national anthems the crowd began stomping their feet as the whole arena rumbled. There was not one person in the crowd who did not stand or sing the national anthem for australia (was enough to make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up).

Then it was fight time, DING DING......DING DING....it was over. Roy Jones Jr had thrown around 5 jabs and that was it as he got caught in the corner and glancing shot to the temple had floored him. He looked alright once he made it back to his feet but just couldnt seem to hold on or fight back and the ref was forced to wave it off.

I was one of the thousands that had to leave straight after the end of the fight as I could not bare to watch the replay of a legend being finished in a matter of minutes. I didnt care if Roy lost but I wanted to see at least 5 rounds worth.

In the end it was disappointing because no had expected that outcome and most fans had actually turned up to see Roy Jones, I guess on the plus side the atmosphere was awesome.
