Fuck, watch from 1.30 and wait and watch danny go ballistic after roy goes down then gets back up, danny RACES in and DESTROOOOOYS poor Roy!
After reading heaps of pre match messages from smug americans saying Roy would destroy Green in the first round...haha, look who's laughing now! Dunno if the crowd would have been pleased with that or shitty with such a short match!

large consensus going around that it was staged and green was winking before and afterward, the connection was weak as piss.

yea look thats a great consensus but it'd stand out like DOGS balls and they would all get fucked over for match fixing. Simple.
If you think the connection was weak as piss maybe you should jump in the ring and see if it was or not, I'll put my cash on you trae to win huh?

I have discussed this with many people about there thoughts that the fight was staged or that Danny Green deserved the win. I really couldn't be fucked supporting either claim though i will say a few things. Lets say this win is legitimate, the punch was powerful enough and well placed enough to disorientate Jones. We can't call it a lucky punch because Jones broke the most simple rule of any fight, have your guard up. So if we think that the fight is legit, Jones brought all this upon himself so well done.
Now for those thinking that the fight was staged. Jones' guard being down in the first round is very suss. MY only other argument is that a first round knock-out for Danny Green was paying very very high. This alone makes the whole fight very suss.
Danny Green is a very solid fighter though, and balances offence with defence. A well deserved win if thats what it really is, and it cannot be taken away from him. Jones is a good fighter but looked as if he got too cocky and paid for it.

I've been following the fight game for years. Spent hours upon hours watching the professionals both champions, prospects and good fighters.
RJJ in his prime was one of the best fighters i've ever seen, he went through a decade of fighting in which he barely even lost 1 round. That being said, Roy is about 6 years past it. The man is 40 ffs, and for a fighter like Jones Jr whose whole game was based off having an unothordox style with lighting quick reflexes and power to go with that, you can imagine how much he has dimished from his former glory.
For those who know the game, Danny's only real shot in this fight was to KO RJJ. Danny has imense power, he once held the record in the AIS for having recorded the hardest punch and this was when he was a middleweight! The punch that KD'd Roy wasn't fully flush but roys chin has been susceptible for years now and it threw him off his balance and wobbled his legs. The simple reason the fight was stopped was because roy wasn't throwing back. Only those 2 uppercuts got through and roy may have survived for a while and regained his balance but if a fighter isn't throwing back the ref usually steps in.
I'm happy for danny and hope he gets some good fights, but this fight with roy in his prime would have been an absolute boxing clinic by Jones Jr.

I read in the paper, that jones jnr wasen sweating when he came out, which meaned he thought he was going to go for 12 rounds and warm up more as he went, where as danny was already warmed and just pounced on him. Once he got that hit to the temple it was all over. if the ref kept it going jones would of just got more hurt.

Yeah mate he's always kept his hands low. He just had physical gifts noone could really match. Definately one of my favourite boxers of all time.
here's a little highlight reel of the man during his heyday.

Yeah mate I get down to the pub to watch a few fights every year, otherwise I watch streaming video, youtube replays before theyre removed or buy the ppv if I get access to foxtel. Unfortunately, PPV's in aus are rediculously overpriced so I only buy the fights I really want to see.
There's been a bit of talk that Danny Green's next opponent will be Bernard Hopkins, who, whilst older than Jones still has alot more left in the tank and would be a solid victory if he got up. This won't be for another few months at best though if it gets signed.
Another fighter well worth watching is Michael Katsidis. I'm not sure why the Aus media doesn't give this guy much attention but he's an all action Australian fighter whose spent the last 3 years in America fighting top notch opposition. There's talk about him getting a shot at Juan Manuel Marquez' lightweight title sometime soon which would be a great fight.
There's not really any fights occuring that the mainstream public would know about atm but i'll let you know if there's a potential barnburner worth watching.

Yeah, Sugar Shane's a great fighter. I haven't seen alot of Berto but he's pretty highly regarded. Hopefully Shane's still in good form, he smashed Antonio Margarito in his last fight but that was a fair while ago now.
