Comments on: Roy Jones Jr. Destroyed in First Round by Danny Green http://larrybrownsports.com/boxing/video-danny-green-tkos-roy-jones-jr-fight/11556 Brown Bag it, Baby Sun, 27 May 2012 01:34:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Colin Livingstone http://larrybrownsports.com/boxing/video-danny-green-tkos-roy-jones-jr-fight/11556/comment-page-1#comment-788360 Colin Livingstone Thu, 03 Dec 2009 12:41:06 +0000 http://larrybrownsports.com/?p=11556#comment-788360 Expedient to note that if either Calzaghe or Green fought Jones in his prime that they would have been stretched. I was never convinced of Calzaghe's decision against Hopkins, which I rated a draw or even slightly in favour of Hopkins.It was obvious Roy Jones was lacking tone and top fitness against Calzaghe and also going through other troubles outside of the ring.A great fighter who has lost motivation in recent years...but with the courage to still face the best and risk everything.

Jones unleashed a few fast jabs, and missed a few more as Green manouevered Jones near the corner. Two seconds later...game over. The same mistake of the lowered left guard Lennox Lewis made against McCall and Rahman.Green has an iron chin and should he fight at super middle or light heavy could be an interesting opponent for Kessler, Froch, Mundine or the mighty B-Hop.Jones looked as if his head was somewhere else, like a rabbit stunned by car headlights.

However, when it turns out that you have a glass jaw, then you better retire. That right hand didn't even appear to land flush and Jones went down and then was out on his feet. Any boxing commission which grants him a license to fight in the future ought to have a lot of liability insurance, because he is going to become permanently damaged if not killed in the ring if he continues to fight.
