 Glen Johnson stops George Jones in 10th - Boston.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Former world light-heavyweight champion Glen Johnson, hopeful of a rematch with the winner of Saturday night's fight between Antonio Tarver and Roy Jones Jr., stopped George Khalid Jones in the 10th round on Friday night.
As Jones, of Paterson, N.J., began to sink against the ropes, Johnson threw two more rights, then motioned referee Marcos Rosales to step in and halt the bout, which he did with 30 seconds left in the 10th.
But clearly Johnson, who dropped Jones with only his second punch of Friday's fight -- a straight right in the opening seconds -- is less interested in an IBF title than fighting Roy Jones or Tarver again, calling them "cowards" if they don't meet his challenge.
