I think the strategy was to allow Calzaghe to expend his energy for an assault in the later rounds.
A mighty task to try and acomplish!!!
I guess, it backfired horribly, I felt treuely sad to see Roy lose that night
In truth, he realised he was fucked. It was almost like a death rattle.
This night really broke my heart. I was hoping that Roy could role back the clock for one night and at the end of the first it looked like he might just do it, but that was the last real moment of glory for Roy and the only reason he saw the final bell was because Joe let him!
As for the macho act I think he knew he had little to no chance and was trying to show fans he could tough it out. It was a sad sad sight!!
Because Joe Calzaghe is a bitch and waited until Roy and Bernard were old to come over here and fight them.Quote:

Joe and all of his fans know that Roy Jones Jr. would have dominated Calzaghe in their primes.
Roy was offered a trip to England a lot earlier man- just Roy wasn't in the habit of leaving the U.S.Quote:

Calzaghe was offered a SHOT at Jones in 2002 but rejected due to money!Quote:

After the KD he was looking out the ring showboating trying to humiliate Joe so once Calzaghe turned the tide in his favour he began doing it back to Jones but went over the top with it. He really tried to embarass Roy in a way nobody could imagine. Its one thing landing a lucky punch on an ageing Jones but Joe completely outclassed him, made him miss and taunted him. Towards the end Roy must have been hoping that Joe knocked him out to save the humiliation but Calzaghe was happy to put on a boxing exhibitionQuote:
