I asked the referee of Jones Jr.-Brannon...

[Mr. Ryan]

Why didn't he stop the fight when Roy Jones Jr. had Bryant Brannon on the ropes and pointed to him to intercede and halt the contest. Shortly after, Jones Jr. landed a combination and iced the poor guy.

The night before the fight, Ron Lipton, who is also my trainer, told me that he saw Bryant Brannon the night before the fight at a restaurant. Brannon went up to him and said "Look, please don't stop the fight prematurely." Lipton, who never had a fighter die on his watch, said that his and Jones' health are the biggest priorities to him. He said if Jones is in trouble, I'll give him every benefit of the doubt. If Brannon was in trouble, he'd give Brannon every benefit of the doubt. Brannon told him that he sometimes rode out the storms on the ropes, which is why Lipton made sure to stop it when he was on the canvas.

interesting....

[Mr. Ryan]

interesting....

Brannon appealed to Lipton's former boxing career and said "I know you understand where I'm coming from, this is my big shot."

Lipton stopped it at the right time.

Before Roy asked Lipton to stop it, his last few shots hadn't really landed. Then that final flurry landed after Roy asked him to stop it.

Wasn't Brannon, to his credit, shot a few times and STILL beat the shooters asses??? I loved that fight and I still have it on tape(I think). I don't blame him one bit for wanting every chance, because that was his 1 chance. I would rather piss blood for a week and have loose teeth than wonder if I could've beaten the great RJJ.

Nahh, it went on a little too long, there was no way Brannon was gonna win,

his opening tactics of trying to rush Jones at the beggining made it worse as well.

He took some bad shots,

aint see the whole fight,

but you can see quite a bit of it on this DVD

''Roy Jones Greatest Knockouts''

I would advise anyone to buy it, he was untouchable.
