Holy Crap ! Did you see this white boy from OZ TKO Round 1 Ray Jones Jnr

[Panamark]

Danny Green, I watched a few of his fights, he went in big time underdog last night and finished this guy off in 1.40 (or thereabouts)

Watch this space !!!

Actually Binnie had already posted this in the Boxing thread. Seems Roy's lost the ability to take a punch in his later years, while he's still as fast as he ever was. Looks like though he was clearly rocked, he thought he could hold and cover 'til the end of the round and last it out, but the ref stopped it...might've helped to at least attempt to throw a shot or two back.
Seems like the few times he's lost in his career it's been early in the fight(s), 1st or 2nd round...he's either brilliant or outta there quick, seemingly from lucky punches in all cases. This one included. Sorry, Marky.

It reminded me of a comment I heard one of the guys calling his last fight with Jeff Lacy - Jones was just making him look amateurish (though he did catch him a couple of times with seemingly better shots than this guy got in), and the guy says "You see this and wonder how in the heck someone like Antonio Tarver was able to knock this guy out?"

But yeah, probably time for Roy to hang it up...not like with all his accomplishments he has anything left to prove. He'll always be one of the greats.

Too bad though, still think a fight between him and BHOP could be interesting.

Never liked Roy! Yes he was a good fighter, (a little overrated if you ask me) but his arrogance/cockiness/personality/fighting of pitbulls/showboating/loudmouth is a MAJOR turn off, for me. Congrats to Danny!

You think so, J? I think BHOP would destroy him!

[Little Texan]

Jones should have retired years ago.

[Panamark]

Apologies to Binnie if this is a dupe...

I cant remember the last title fight where
it was all over so quickly...
I guess I blew my wad without hitting the good old
search bar ....

I can merge if Osama Binnie would prefer....

Never heard about him doing any dog-fighting, that's not cool.

But anyone who's (still) fast enough nail Jeff Lacy (or anyone) with 6 rapid-fire unanswered left hooks (in what was an 8 or 9-punch combination) does not an "overrated" fighter make. 52-5, only 2 losses by KO (correct me if I'm wrong...)?

And P-Mark, like I said, pretty sure the only time anyone's gotten him out of there besides the decision to JC (and 2 other decisions, apparently), it was early...the Tarver KO was what, like 10 seconds into the 2nd?

[Panamark]

Whatever the circumstances (even if this guy is a hack ?? as you are telling me)
Danny Green who is a top bloke, he would have a beer with anyone, is 6 mill richer
today and gets to dictate the next fight. Which I believe will be with Anthony Mundine,
(an Oz Aboriginal who thinks he is a black gangsta) who will have to put on weight
to fight Danny. Last time they met Green had to drop a shitload of weight as
the Mundine camp held the cards... Looking forward to that one, gotta be a 10 mill purse
and will probably be the most watched fight in Oz, many think that Mundine (an
ex rugby player) is a bit of a princesss... Lets see how he takes on the Green machine
at level weight !!!

As for old Roy ?? So somebody took him out in second round, I think green's temple
blow was like 20 seconds in ??? Gotta admit Jones Jnr got majorly owned...

And its good to see a good bloke without asshole attitude deliver...

Since I used to breed Pitbulls, and have 2 myself, I know a lot about the breed. I know what to look for when people are fighting them. He was on a episode of "MTV Cribs" and showed off some of his fighting dogs and roosters. The dude had over 50 pitbulls, and they all lived in little 5x3 kennels with HUGE chains around their necks. They had scars around their necks and legs. He even had treadmills and "breaking sticks" lying around his yard. This was waaaay before the Vick stuff, so he really didn't have hide it. Snoop Dog is also involved with pitbull fighting too. Evil bastards!

The reason I say he is a 'little' overrated, is this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Jones,_Jr.
I don't see very many big time fighters on that list.

Glen Johnson knocked him out too.

[jhale667]

I mentioned Johnson as well, GSG. The cockfight shit isn't cool either, knew about that, but nothing about the dogs, rarely watched "Cribs".

Nah, Marky - not saying he's a hack, dude. I'm sure he's cool, but he did get over-anxious when he "smelled blood" and started holding Roy's head, for which he should have been warned. Not a point subtracted at that point, but warned at least.

Just saying that Roy's been rocked worse and survived it. He got rocked again by Tarver (a dude who knocked him the fuck out) in the 11th of the 3rd fight, but survived and actually WON the 12th round, though he lost the decision.
But in his prime he rarely got hit because no one could find him... And he says himself he's not a "brawler"...seemed like this guy was the Aussie Glenn Johnson, so even if he's survived the round, unless he managed to work him like he did Lacy, it was gonna be problematic for him...possibly might've gone on to lose the decision had he NOT got caught like that, y'know?

Like I said, he's 40, he's got nothing left to prove, and unless the BHOP fight still happens, should probably bow out gracefully....and if it does, win or lose should hang it up after that.


Moving right along...
Now I'm totally ready to see Floyd beat the crap out of Pacquio. Make it so!

[Panamark]

Danny Green is about to turn 38

Just sayin, thats the best ass whuppin I've seen in a long time ??

Agreed ???

Oh, he nailed Roy, alright - but the difference being when Tarver and Johnson did, he didn't get up...just sayin'....

My bad! It's 2am here and the coffee has worn off.

Now I'm totally ready to see Floyd beat the crap out of Pacquio. Make it so!

I'm definitely going for Pacquiao! I can't stand arrogance, and fighters like Floyd and Roy Jones reeks of it.

Damn it J, can we ever agree on anything? :tongue0011:

[Panamark]

You guys reckon Roy will go on ????
I reckon he was shown the retirement door last night ?

From that fight last night I can see a huge Mundine/Green fight
(Do you guys know mundine ??)

[GO-SPURS-GO]

I think he will fight again. Did you watch the fight Mark? If you did, what was his demeanor like after the fight? Was he like, "I just got caught with a lucky punch" or "I just got my ass kicked, again!"

From that fight last night I can see a huge Mundine/Green fight
(Do you guys know mundine ??)

I've never heard of the dude before. I had to Google his name to see who he is. Is he any good? The only name I recognize is Mikkel Kessler, and he lost to him. He does look like a Gansta.
