OK sorry i'm late... just watched this knowing the result and the responses from you guys.
Showboating: love showboating and Jones was the biggest offender over his career so to me when people complain about that "clutching at straws" comes to mind.
to me it was Joe showing he could do it as no one else has... Jones started it with looking at ringside sticking his tonge out.
you live by the sword you die by the sword.
The Cut: bad cut and crap corner work, could have stopped the fight at round 8 for me but i think Jones was happy he finished the fight and would have been gutted if they stopped it. still didn't like seeing him take so much punishment to it in the last rounds, it was as sad as watching an old Ali getting hurt.
Jones got alot worse after the cut down to his vision which played a big factor in the one sidedness.
Roy Jones: Full of heart looked like he was gonna win it after round 1 and Joe having his face right in front of him could have been a massive mistake, found myself telling him to stop and i knew the result LOL.
Thanks for the memories Roy, full of class and heart you will be missed BIGTIME... I would still like to see him take a winable fight and go out on a win he deserves that.
Joe Calzaghe: Anothermasterclass was well impressed with him from round 2 onwards, He'll never get the respect he should till hes gone which is a shame but hey thats boxing.
Again thanks for the memories Joe, enjoy your retirement but i don't think that will be his last fight, too much money still to make.
The fight: loved it shame about the cut, but all in all good to watch up till the 8th.
HBO Skinny Guy: what a knob, mentioned that Joe was 45 and 0 even though he had just watched this 46th fight and will someone please tell that guy that it was Eubank down in the first and not Joe, he brings that up everytime now...shows a real lack of knowlage for someone in such a important position working for one of the top boxing showmakers in the world.
.....
thank you and good night... well done joe and jones![]()
