Dont know which Roy we will get, but a Roy that stays in the center of ring will win based on his sheer athleticism and speed against Greene. Roy on the ropes countering sporadically and being defensive, well a different story. Get em Roy!Comment

You've seen him got to the ropes for long stretches for the last 6 or 7 years. You should expect it from RJ by now.
He doesn't have the legs to be in the middle of the ring for more than 1-2 minutes at a time unless it's the first couple round.Comment

Another piece of BS from Green
These guys (by way of their records alone) are no substitute for preparing for Jones. They are reasonably good guys that are quick when allowed to be, AND (sadly, perhaps more importantly for Green) they are guys that wont make Green look bad in sparring. Green will lose like he always does whenever he steps it up and the opposition isnt partaking in a financial transaction with gloves on. Let him fight Glenn Johnson after Roy so he just goes away.Comment

Yeah it's true...us Aussies can't believe that our guy could lose. They are also playing up RJJ a bit... they don't mention much on tv that he's not a current champion. If I knew nothing about boxing and was watching the local reporting I would probably think RJJ was current P4P#1 as well as lineal champion in about 15 weight divisions. This still doesn't dampen the local enthusiasm for the local boy though.
Do you think I'll get stabbed if I wear a huge RJJ red t shirt to the pub in Perth to watch the fight?Comment
