From The BBC

Australian Danny Green produced a big shock by knocking out Roy Jones Jr in the first round of their IBO cruiserweight title fight in Sydney.

The 40-year-old Jones, who was seeking a ninth world title, was floored inside the first minute by a brutal punch.

Jones got up but Green continued the onslaught and the referee stopped the bout after two minutes, two seconds.

After only his sixth loss in 60 fights, Jones, who had eyed a bout with Bernard Hopkins, has hinted at retirement.

    There comes a time when we just need to sit our asses down.

    Yeah, its time to let it go. You certainly don’t want it with Hopkins now. You shouldn’t have ducked him back in the day so we could have seen what was up. The first fight, B Hop was young, so we needed to see another one, when his skills had improved to see what the deal was.

    Too c**ky… should have kept his guard up instead of show boatin… Damn shame.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/mima57/ mima57

    He was always c**ky and he always kept his hands down. Back in the day he just ducked the cats who could take advantage of his faults.

    @OneTime: What do you mean the ref shouldn’t have stopped the fight? Jones still would have been knocked out by the end of the round if not sooner. He wasn’t even fighting back. He wasn’t coming back from that. The old Roy would have gotten out it. He was outboxed by a better fighter and the ref saved him from receiving more damage. That’s what he gets for holding that hand down low after being losing so many other fights.

    Shoulda BEEN done retired. They always stay in the game too long until they get embarrassed. Let a white boy beat him up in the first round?? haha. Not even an American coached by a black trainer but by some Aussie ?? I can’t even sympathize. If he wasn’t gonna take his comeback seriously, he should have stayed gone after Tarver and Johnson beat him down. At least he might have gone out with a little dignity. You done, son. Used to be the man but lost his edge. Forget Hopkins. Forget getting back in the ring.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/sprewell015/ sprewell015

    Roy is just fighting way past his prime…so hes gettin embarrassed by people he would beat earlier in his career…Hopefully he will realize he should retire…Hes still a legend in my eyes

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/dblane/ dblane

    dawg i played that s**t in slow mo the punch didnt even hit him it grazed the back of his head

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/smokedoggh2o/ smokedoggh2o

    legends don’t go out like that, something is up….I’m disappointed! like really sad

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Eyre420/ Eyre420

    He needs to stop going on them “ski trips” an hour before he enters the ring. Thats the wrong way to get “powered up” and it’s catchin up with him. Lay off the fairy dust dude and get back on ya A game. He probably needs to be a trainer now.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/mckinneymami/ mckinneymami

    lol.. man that’s embarrassing.. i was just watching his greatest hits dvd the other day but it’s time to wrap it up Roy u had a good run!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/jaecutta/ jaecutta

    da fight was f i x e d

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/LindaSellsNY/ LindaSellsNY

    What the hell kinda fight was that? That was no fight? I agree with most of the commentors who say the fight was fixed. Come on now, Jones is a much better fighter than that — sad, sad, sad.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Real_bumbleclot/ Real_bumbleclot

    That fight was fixed. Roy Jones fight way better than that. Plus after the 1st knock down dude was on Jones before the ref got out the way. If the ref didnt stop the fight Jones would have made it thru the 1st round. His legs wasnt wobbly, dude was pullin his head down knocking him off balance, Jones was doin the basic rope-a-dope. The only mistake I seen him making was trying to go toe 2 toe

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/thekaze/ thekaze

    looks like the punch to the ear or behind his ear threw off his equilibrium. it happens

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/AJyAnt1/ AJyAnt1

    Too damn bad…

    He was wack anyhow…

    I’m glad…….Ha ha….

    I know white people love that mess…But really white folks….He was 40 years old..if he had been in his prime he would have smashed that punk ass whiteboy….But thats what dumb ass blackpeople get for still trying to be something they no longer can be….Dumbass ROY..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/RICKEY0071/ RICKEY0071

    LMAO, thats good for him. He always thought he was SO DAMN GOOD, I have always said he talk alot of SH_t and that is what hedoes best as u can see now. If he could fight as much as he talk then will be the best at what he does. In the pasy alot of his when was on the hype and luck. Go watch the the other fights in the last 3 yrs and u tell me.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/t-boy02/ t-boy02

    Roy Jones should have definitely retired awhile ago, but that fight was still kinda suspect.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/jazzwatch/ jazzwatch

    Go ahead and retire…..don’t want any other great champs go blind, estitute or near death like Langford, Louis or Ali….

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/pleazugood/ pleazugood

    Please. Roy has always been a shan. He hand picks boxers he thinks he can beat. Even in his best years, he ducked good fighters. He should have retired years ago.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/pleazugood/ pleazugood

    Sorry,,I meant SHAM,,not shan

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/BlackCasper2001/ BlackCasper2001

    Wow. I don’t get it. He got punched and went sideways and after that he couldn’t fight back anymore. That’s crazy.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/jayslay34/ jayslay34

    Roy’s ability to take a punch has always been non-impressive to say the least… It’s gotten worse over the last few years… Dude is officially DONE!!! It was good while it lasted. So long Roy and thanks for the memories…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/shango24/ shango24
