Did Danny Green hit RJJ in the temple or back of the head?

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

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.

For Bernard to carry him would be the worst thing he could do to Roy...It would give him a glimmer of hope that he still has something left....

I have seen Roy in many interviews and he still thinks he will once again be on top....I just hope that maybe Bernard can take away any hope he has in his heart so he does retire for good....I mean at least Hopkins is not a vicious KO puncher.....One day one of these young hard hitters will hurt him seriously if he goes on...

Any KO Roy has suffered have been pretty serious ones....The one in the Johnson fight is the type that has ended fighters careers for good

Hopkins hasn't look too impressive last time out.

Remember he lost to Danny Green at Cruiserweight and it was a shot to the temple that would hurt anyone. Ask Vernon Forrest.

I dunno if Roy is as bad as he seems, he took all those punches from Calzaghe and didn't falter, he is fighting Bernard at Super Middleweight I don't think bernard has that power that a cruiserweight green has, and Roy looked pretty good against lazy and seemed to be implementing a jab in the Green fight.

Call me crazy but I think he may use a strategy similar to what Jermain Taylor did against Bernard by keeping him on the end of a jab and trying to watch for a right hand.

Roy is like an old ali with his style nowadays, if Bernard is gonna play spoiler, I think Roy has a chance.

Roy doesn't have the chin Ali had

Calzaghe is not a hard hitter what so ever...I mean he hit Lacy what 800 times?

Roy has never been a jabber....

Roy has been an extraordinary jabber when he decides to use it. He used it against Ruiz and Pazienza. He usually leads with his left because he is so fast but when he used a jab he had a great one. since he has been older he seems to have been using his straights more then his hooks. So if he uses that jab against Hopkins he can take him out of his game.

Hopkins isn't the hardest puncher right now either. The last person Hopkins KO'd was Oscar De la Hoya. He has power but I don't know if he hits as hard as tarver at Light Heavyweight or as hard as Green at cruiserweight.

[Andre]

He was a great fast shoot from the hip loose jabber not a text book stand up jabber.

Maybe I worded it wrong....

Jones is not a fighter who uses his jab as a main part of his arsenal....EG- He does not use it every fight to set things up....

I don't see him changing it now...hell he has all he can do to look decent in the ring.....His style is/was one that worked so well because of his great reflexes he did not need to keep hands up high and could shoot from the hip....Today that is not so

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 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

In some cases i agree that it wouldn't of been stopped.

Jones was protecting himself but the ref stopped it because he was coming back with no shots of his own all the while his legs weren't under him.

I can't blame the ref on stopping it basically. I myself would of let Jones continue abit longer.

[Nameless]

I think that it should have continued but that the knock down was very legit, I did look at it a few times and it looks good, the only thing making it not 100% clear is because Jones turns his head but it was a good one.

spot on

however much i try and sugar coat it RJJ was out on his feet and its pretty much at the refs discretion what he does from then on in. He gave him a chance and perhaps his argument was that jones just wasnt throwing anything back

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.

Roy isn't one of my favourite fighters but damn do i have respect for him.

In his prime, he was amazing to watch. It's a shame to see him fall like he has over the past 6 years.

Luckily for me, Hopkins hasn't gone through anything like Roy has, Hopefully he retires before it gets to that stage for him.
