Was it a premature stoppage?

    Very proper stoppage.Roy looked too tense before coming in the ring, and didn't look right.His jabs had little speed on them as well.
    Cong**** to Danny Green.Maybe this sets up a Hopkins fight- At least it could be more competitive...

      fair stoppage... saw it on PPV here in Auckland NZ.

      Green landed a 'temple shot' the aussie commentators called it.

        roy threw only 1 half hearted return punch and green although not connecting flush (thankfully) hit him another 30 odd times.
        actually it was about 45 give or take a couple

          I thought the ref should have let it continue. I dont think Roy was as hurt as the Tarver knockdown. Roy knows how to defend himself and fight off the ropes. Ref should have given him a chance

            The stoppage was fair. Personally, it's worth noting that Benn took a LOT more punishment from McClellan in the first round of their fight without the ref stepping in, but at Roy's age... this was for the best. The stoppage was fair. If it hadn't have been stopped, I still don't see any other possible outcome for the fight.

              Some of the Commentators sound like they have never seen or comment on a boxing fight before, Saying stuff like "temple shot" lol, From the stream that i saw RJJ looked like he couldnt survive the round because there was still over 1.30 minutes left to the end of the round.

                  I thought the ref done a good job. He gave Roy a chance to throw something back or last another minute but their was no reply from Roy. A good stoppage by the Ref imo.

                      I agree...it was obvious he thru, he never tried to punch back or even clinch.
