Danny Green stopped Roy Jones Jr in the very first round to retain his IBO Cruiserweight title.
Green (now 28-3, 25 KOs) connected a beautiful right to Jones's temple that sent the 4-time champion to the canvas. Jones managed to beat the count only to absorbed more powerful blows from the Australian which prompted the referee to stop the fight at 2.02 minutes into the fight.
Jones (54-6, 40 KOs), heavily favored to win the fight, was looking for his fifth crown in as many different weight classes. He held titles at middleweight, super-middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight.
Jones was classy in defeat and described the bout at the packed Sydney Acer Arena as "a great fight".

Roy Jones sold the fight! He just acted as though he was hit. This acting thing happen before when a Croatian fighter sold his fight to Danny Green. The Croatian punched less than Ten puches in the entire 12 rounds. Perhaps, Jones get 80% in losing, that's why he sold it.
