Roy Jones Jr. vs. Danny Green [Archive]

MiracleMan

I have Roy winning the first 4-5 rounds quite convincingly. Before Danny starts to motor. Danny may get knocked down once or twice early. But he should come back and win in the 10th. Which will be a big big moment in Australia. And the US.

Agreed. I don't think Green is going to know what's hitting him until 8 or 9 rounds go by.

i was impressed by jones today he still posesses great hand speed which i think will be too much for danny. so even though hes hardly in his prime i still think he will be too much for danny though jeff should of probably retired when he done his rotator cuff in the tsypko fight.he has been shit ever since.

I don't know what I was thinking a few weeks back when I said Green would stop Jones. I must apologise for such a ridiculous statement! If that version of Jones turns up in November, he is going to stop green. Way to quick and his punches have a decent amount of sting on them. Would love nothng more than to see danny pull it off, but after tonight I think Roy is gonna pepper Greeny all night.

Roy should dominate Greeny quite easily.

Green looked decent today against pretty much cannon fodder so i wouldnt get too excited about his performance.

I haven't seen the fight - but c'mon, surely we know by now that it is not hard to look good against a fighter as limited as Lacy right??? That it's easy to look good against the poor Argy who is probably missing out on some good fares while his taxi sits in its garage?

Did Lacy show any signs of improvement to say this win means more than what we all thought it would pre-fight??

Will check it out tonight but I still think neither guy would have been truly tested tonight.

No.
Lacy was a corpse on a string. His game plan seemed to be to get Roy on the ropes, and he did, but was terribly ineffective and was unable to wind up anything big.

Jones was simply toying with him and punching him at will. Lacy showed no signs of the explosiveness that he was known for pre Calzaghe fight.

All you guys that said RJJ was shot time to own up :lol:

RJJ looked great today...... hand speed just as good as it ever was........ evasion skill 10 out of 10.....good foot work through 10 rounds even though he was happy having Lacy sitting on his chest 80% of the time.

RJJ will win every round against Green :deal

For the record I was very happy Green won today and I cheered every punch he landed :good

:patsch

Roy is not the old Roy. Yes he still has fast hands but his legs are gone. That's why he spends so much time on the ropes now. And it was Jeff Lacy - all washed up.

Green looked strong at cruiser although naturally he was down a little on speed. I thought he boxed a little too cute at times...he can't afford a low hand carry as he doesn't move his head that much and certainly wont be able to drop his hands against Roy.

In saying that, he has a good strong jab and that will help.

Roy will fight Green the same way...off the ropes.

Interesting atleast to see how it will play out.

Hi all, havent been on for a long time.

Now after viewing both fights today what can we really take out of it to put into a discussion about green and roy fighting eachother.......not a lot really. green fought dominguez, danny looked solid but got caught early a few times, on the plus side he picked his shots very well and did not get carried away.

Roy fought lacy, now in my view lacy's career hit a big speed hump named joe calzaghe. his game plan tonight was taylor made for roy, come in close and try and work over RJJ is not the best idea when the guy still has awesome hand speed and decent power. in saying that RJJ was solid without being brilliant.

In short green and lacy dont have a lot in common so i cant really say who would win.

Box-on

RJJ by UD.
Even though Danny was drained when he fought Choc, Choc is a poor mans RJJ and the handspeed would be too much imo.

gazj23

08-16-2009, 09:58 AM

True if Choc made him dizzy, imagine what Roy will do, he will think he is fighting 3 guys.
Cant see anything other than a wide UD to Roy, Danny has loads of courage so cant see him getting knocked out

Bognashavin

08-16-2009, 09:06 PM

The speed will beat Green, and may fluster him enough that he gets wild and careless. I don't think he'll get KO'd but it could happen. Then again, Danny could get a few good stiff shots in too, that might swing things. RJJ by decision, but I will be supporting Green.

IrnBruMan

08-16-2009, 09:46 PM

I'm going out on a limb here and picking Green by TKO/KO.

I didn't see the fights yesterday but I think if Green can rattle RJJ early with his jab, RJJ will be gunshy for the rest of the fight and Green will outwork him, stopping him late (8th or 10th).

Roy will breeze in a comfortable decision. Mandy would still box Greens ears off. Green looks a lot slower at the heavier weight, seemed to be blowing hard after 4 rds & if he kissed his biceps one more time I would of been up for a new screen on my mates tv. Good fight for the Oz public but Green's dreaming if he thinks he can beat Roy.

MiracleMan

I think a lot of people are forgetting Green is a far superior fighter to what Lacy is today. And Green has a stiff jab and a much better work rate.

true he is far superior to lacy but still the Argie caught him a few times and he had no jab to speak of and threw windmill punches.RJJ even thought he beat a shot to shit fighter still has the type of style that will befuddle danny and it will basically be green /mundine revisited i think.ROY may even knock him out as he will be less tentative than mundine.

cedrichw

08-16-2009, 11:24 PM

Well now what happens? I'm going to assume this is at some catchweight limit. Make a pick. Didn't see the Green fight though how did he look

I am going out on a limb here and am gonna say because it is for the IBO Cruiserweight World title they will be fighting at the cruiserweight limit. Cannot be sure however. Before seeing todays fights I thought green had a reasonable chance of beating Roy. After the fight I am hoping that Roy doesn't play with him and make him look like a fool as he did with Lacey. Loved how Roy was talking with Green right throughout the fight. lacey was disappointing but Roy was still super quick Roy by wide Margin dont think Roy has the KO punch and Green will go all day

buster007

08-16-2009, 11:34 PM

jones will make green look silly many times if they fight, thats what jones does when he is on song. he does it to most boxers to some extent. there is little argument about that.

danny green may be hated by many on here and be thought of as an average fighter at best, but if he uses his jab properly and is able to tag jones enough with a few bombs then i think it jones will play it really safe. if green can draw jones in to engage with him then green no doubt has a better then average chance of getting an upset win over jones.

COULDHAVEBEEN

08-17-2009, 12:30 AM

Agree with others regards comparison to Green vs Mundine. Danny was able to land his jab on Mundine, but by the time his right arrived, Mundine was gone...repeatedly.

There's no doubt IMO that Green will be going in to win it and give 100% along the way. But if Jones comes as well prepared as he did against Lacy, where he had enough time to play up to the crowd and still embarrass him, Jones' fast hands should win the day.

He looked to have a broken nose after fighting the Argo.

I really hope Danny and Roy put their friendship aside when it comes to fight time coz I would love to see this fight end in a KO (either way). I dont want a repeat of Mundine-Green, coz if it goes the distance thats what it'll end up being.

Maybe Green can call Tarver, JC and Johnson for a few pointers.

Roy will dominate Green. He looked the best he has in years in his last couple of fights. Still has the fastest hand speed at his weight, and the guy is 40. Sheika and Lacy are nowhere near elite but there not bad fighters either.

Bognashavin

08-17-2009, 11:02 AM

To be fair I reckon Danny would have KO'd Lacy, not TKO, but that doesn't mean he will beat Roy. I also think he might find himself a bit awed at the occasion if he does start to win. "I'm beating Roy Jones, suck that one Mund" BANG!

Would it look bad if Hopkins beat Green here 4 years ago??

Not as bad. Hopkins 4 years ago and today is still regarded as a top fighter. Even his losses were all close. Jones has been knocked out and was recently dominated by Calzaghe.

True, although for the local game its possibly the biggest named fighter to visit our shores in 50 years. Green will perform well enough to make this fight more than viewable. He's an offensive attacking fiighter which suits RJJ.

Hopkins is a freak with a bloodstream that is Olympic qualified..
All the same, Id be happy to see him here.

The Green/RJJ bout might be debatable..... fact is, its going to generate cash and potentially entice names to fight here.

Good for the local fans and industry.

ashley

08-17-2009, 06:01 PM

Just watched some highlights of the fight again and when RJJ lets his hands go in combos he still has one of the fastest sets of hands in the business.

I just think RJJ will make Green look like Lacy.

I will be cheering for Green and hope he can land some telling shots and KO RJJ.....however RJJ should win by very wide UD.

WhataRock

08-17-2009, 11:46 PM

RJJ will probably still have enough to beat Danny.

But lets not act as though Green and Lacy are the same kind of fighter.

Green holds clear advantages in height and reach over Jeff..He is much more of a standup boxer/stalker then Jeff ever was and is. Jeff is more of brawler/in-fighter and this gave Roy more room to work effectively.
Danny will be jabbing his way in when Roy is on the ropes, something Jeff either did not do or didnt do effectively when he attempted.

I could see this going more like the Hanshaw fight..where Roy wasnt exactly convincing against a guy not as good as Danny.

Unless its a fight with Pavlik i dont see it happening. But Khoder f*&ked up his chances with Pavlik a while back so there is no fight out there big enough for Mundine (bar the Ali fight :P)...

I don't agree, Roy is a side show now. Sakio Bika was at least competitive with Calzaghe while Jones got beaten up and was too scared to even throw a punch when Joe was sticking his chin out.

Roy Jones Jr was one of my all time favourite fighters and I actually hope Green doesn't get the fight because I don't like seeing legends who are well past it getting beat up by guys who they would wipe the floor with in their prime. Seeing Roy run from Tarver in their 3rd fight was sad sight.

I think Green's going to surprise a lot of people.

I see RJJ starting off fast like he did with Calzaghe, Green weathering the early storm, then Roy running out of gas and going into his shell and Green eventually forcing a corner retirement.
