Roy Jones Jr. TKO'd in First Round

Last Saturday in Sydney, Australia 40 year old boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. was TKO'd in the first round of his fight with IBO Cruiserweight Champion Danny Green (28-3; 25 KOs). Seeking to claim his 9th title across 5 different weight classes (Middleweight to Heavyweight) Jones Jr. was surprised by a devastating right hand that put him down early in the round and afterwards he never quite recovered. Green seizing the opportunity unleashed a barrage of punches forcing the referee to put a stop to the fight with 1 minute left in the round. Green, his corner, and the audience were ecstatic at the surprised outcome of the fight. This is the first time in Jones Jr.'s career he's been stopped in the first round. Jones Jr. record now stands at (54-6; 40 KOs).
