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.

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.

I hope you're right but he looked like shit in training..he was constantly stepping on the rope, no rhythm on speed bag...very difficult to watch

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.

Yeah theres a bit to be said for the standing count sometimes.

It was around temple area imo, it wasn't a perfectly clean shot though. It look grazing to me.

At first i thought the stoppage was premature but Roy was all over the place even after getting knocked down, a couple of times you see his legs go funky, then the ref jumped in. Green was hitting mostly arms and gloves with the flurries he threw though.

Watching that Vid actually makes me feel sad, Roy should of retired long ago. He shouldn't be losing to the likes of Green.

I have a very uncomfortable feeling about this weekend, and won't be watching the fight.

Check out the video called 'Bad Wrap' on the front page of ESPN - Roy is fucking delusional.

I really hope Bernard carries him, I really do. I know there is a bit of friendship between the two (SecondsOut Boxing News - Thomas Hauser - Joe Calzaghe vs. Roy Jones Jr), so I'm really hoping nobody gets hurt...




Bernard Hopkins came into the room. Roy rose to greet him.

“Are you all right?” Hopkins asked.

“Doing fine.”

The two men hugged.

“It’s all about respect,” Roy said. “You got yours, man.”

“You too, baby.”

Bernard left.

i dunno about that mate

He was in bad shape, but he was still putting up a guard and seemed able to defend himself

Had that fight of been in the uk or us it would never of got stopped

Your end comment is so true, considering that Danny Green. Got his ass handed to him but a poor man's version of RJJ aka Anthony Mundine.

Its just sad to see your hero's losing like that, RJJ was always a big inspiration to me, like Muhammad Ali was to people in the 70s.
