Roy Jones Jr vs Joe Calzaghe A Disgraceful Fight.

I honestly couldn't watch it all, it was like i was watching a glorifed sparring session. And a dancing show all at once, first off RJJ's performance uhh where the hell was it ?

He would just throw single punches all the time, and just allow Joe Calzaghe too hold his hands down when he is 2 inches away from him. I was screaming at the screen just bloody hit him RJJ for goodness sake.

Joe Calzaghe was so wide open i can't believe RJJ didn't take those openings, and secondly all of Joe Calzaghes taunting was just ridiculous. It was like watching a clown in the ring, he done it in every round and in every minute of the round.

And the action was like a sparring session, RJJ would hit Joe Calzaghe with single punches every now and again. And then Joe Calzaghe would come wadding in landing mostly slapping punches to the body.

This may sound like sour grapes but im very disappointed, in both boxers. RJJ didn't even try to win the fight after the 1st round, and Joe Calzaghe's constant taunting dancing whatever you want to call it. Was just ridiculous to watch, this fight was not a good fight for boxing at all a disgrace IMO.

You sound dissapointed that Roy Jones wasn't the same Roy Jones of 7 years ago.

I have seen a lot worse.

The outcome was never in doubt, from the moment the contract was signed - not in my mind anyway.

The taunting was excessive but it was nice that somebody finally gave RJJ a taste of his own medicine, he has been making guys look slow and stupid for years - was nice to see somebody else do it to him.

He needs to retire, and should have retired after the first Tarver fight. His last 5 years have been terrible IMO.

Just sit down, take a deep breath, and accept that SuperJoe beat Jones like a gong.

im with icb on this one. its not about the age we are talking about here. its the instinct about fighting. jones was content of just dancing around with joe and was just not in fighting mode. i was screaming my lungs out to jones. how do you expect to win a fight by throwing 1 punch at a time and covering up the whole time. what a disgraceful showing by jones. i was so pissed during the interview when jones said thank you to his fans. the only thing i could think about hes saying thank you coz he got our ppv dollars in the bag.. what an asssssss...

Neg. rep for the fanboy response. How about addressing some of the seemingly valid points he made?

I agree, it was a shit fight. By the way Calzaghe really showed how much of a slapper he is in this fight, that disgusted me actually. Good on ya calzaghe fans and joe calzaghe, i was wrong. But really if anything that was a poor performance.

That's all Roy has done the last 4 years.

That's what happens in sports all the time. some nights you just don't have it and you plod on to fight through it. harnessing good luck in sports is harder than hell to do.

Don't bother i know his kind i respect Joe Calzaghe as a fighter, and i think he has great skills. But it really was sad watching this fight, i think we the fans missed out big time. Certainly not what i would call a championship fight.

Well jones had a better showing than pavlik's performance, if you can take away anything good about that.

Was a great fight until the 6th. Then Roy was badly cut and beat up yet still fought. This goon said it was a sparring session?

Yes that comment is "Cock" worthy.

The whole thing sucked, wasnt one good fight on the undercard. I had a big night last night so i nearly went to sleep in each undercard. Piss poor performances from judah, agustus, calzaghe and jones. I want my 50 bucks back. I was going for Jones but i would of been happy with a good fight but instead i watched two guys clown each other for 12 rounds, one slap constantly and one do nothing most of the time. Even if i wasnt going for anyone, even if i was a calzaghe fan id say this fight card sucked big time.

Now, without the childish insults, that's a somewhat justifiable position to have. I don't agree, I thought is was an ok fight initially, then I just found it depressing (no, I'm not a Jones fan, but Calzaghe was clearly beating up the shadow of what RJJ once was and his showboating was obnoxious and disrespectful).
