Australia's Danny Green scythed down a boxing legend as he stopped American superstar Roy Jones Jnr in just two minutes at Acer Arena last night.
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.
Jones, a four-division eight times world champion, offered no excuses for a defeat which could signal the end of a wonderful career.
"We don't make excuses, it was a great performance by Danny," Jones told the crowd.
Green sounded almost apologetic after humbling one of the greatest fighters of this or any other generation.
"He's one of the greatest fighters of all time and the opportunity to fight him in Australia, thanks Roy Jones Jnr," Green told the crowd.
"I almost feel bad doing that, that almost most hurt me to do that to someone whom I aspire to look up to as a professional fighter inside and outside the ring.
"He's a bloody legend."
