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?

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.
The punch seemed fair enough, but I thought Jones was recovering at the time of the stoppage. He was covering up and just wanting to see the round out. Green was hitting gloves and arms with most of those shots and would have blown his load by the rounds end. But that's just my take and I'm sure many would disagree. Jones was caught early and hadn't fought at a higher weight in a good while, the power caught him by surprise and he simply wasn't quick enough to get out the way.
I'm kind of looking forward to the Hopkins fight this weekend and I am convinced that Jones Jr will put on a decent show.

Depends on who you ask. If you ask a fan of jones he got hit in the temple, if you ask a boxing fan he just straight got clocked to the dome. He's been hit in various places and went to sleep everytime, don't think it really matters much.

Looked like it was just behind the ear - but only because Jones put his head in that position.
As far as Danny Green goes it was a 100% legit punch but a slightly iffy stoppage, the ref didn't stop it because Green was subsequently hurting Jones but because he was throwing so many unanswered punches - he decided it was probable that Jones would get hurt because he wasn't showing that he was going to do anything to answer or effectively evade.
I still think that he should of let him ride it out, but it is a very understanable stoppage, not very easy to argue with.
