    BHOP is wrong about TKO or KO and landing on your back being stopped on your feet. Some fighters dont go down easy. So the ref has every right to stop a fight while a fighter is on their feet. Remember Bernie paret?, he died while taking numerous blows on his feet.

      False..

      Green punches harder than Zags, and (I throw this in for Calzaghe fans) Jones was more shot than he was when he fought Zags.

      Jones was on wobbly ass feet.

        Something tells me Bernard at the very most, could only name 6 continents.

          Hopkins did make a good point.

          Green wasn't landing many punches after the KD, Ref stopped it because Roy wasn't throwing back.

          It was a little premature imo also.

            The fight would of been over by the second round. Wobbly and no legs.

            It was over.

              he has a point but I think jones was very hurt against Green and not so much against calzaghe even though he was taking millions of shots from joe.

              I hope jones retires because hopkins vs jones at this point just aint right.

                You can't really say it was premature if there were about 30 unanswered punches.

                  You make a good point but Green's punching weren't really landing.

                  It was a tad premature imo.

                  I can see why the ref stopped it though.

                    If there was 10 seconds left of the round i could understand letting it go on because he might have just survived, but he wasn't going to survive the full minute left on the clock. He would have got KOed before then.

                      You could hear the ref screaming at Roy warning him if he didn't off the ropes or start throwing back.
