There were fatal mistakes made in the Danny Green fight. Roy Jones backed himself into corner then threw a predictable left hook which was timed and evaded quite easily by Green. You could predict that left hook coming for at least 5 seconds before Roy threw it, as he backed himself into that corner. An overhand right then caught Jones towards the back of the head sending him to the canvas.
There was no head movement, no tight guard, no staying away from the ropes, a low left hand and a very predictable, telegraphed left hand shot. It was as if Roy was living in the past, relying on his old tactics, depending solely on his speed to get him out of trouble. If he intends on continuing his boxing career, it might be time to get a trainer who'll teach him the boxing fundamentals which could help him defend himself more conventionally and introduce a better fight strategy. Roy can no longer depend on using speed as his defense and really needs to learn some new defensive techniques. He'll need to become a different fighter.
Could Roy adapt his style and improve his defense by using a new trainer or is it too late, are the bad habits set for life and is Jones a shot fighter anyway?
