Australia’s Danny Green scythed down a boxing legend as he stopped American superstar Roy Jones Jnr in just two minutes at Acer Arena tonight.

Making the first defence of his IBO cruiser weight world title, 36-year-old Green floored Jones with a big right hand to the head after one minute.

Sensing his opponent was still vulnerable, Green applied further pressure and backed up the American who suddenly looked all of his 40 years. Several unanswered punches prompted English referee Howard Foster to stop the bout after just 122 seconds.

Jones landed a handful of punches in the opening minute during which both men felt each other out with quick jabs.
