Re: calzaghes fight SPOILERS DONT ENTER IF U DONT WANA KNOW RESULTS
Well, there's a fair bit of criticism heading Calzaghe's way tonight, and personally, I think it's somewhat unfair. Much as I hate all the commentator's cliche's it takes two to dance the rumba, or summat like that. Basically, Bika came in in the same manner as Kabary Saleem came in, looking to spoil and to rough Joe up, in the hope to ruffle him, and somehow find a winning punch. At the end of the day, Joe showed a lot of grit battling with Bika, who looks like a proper brawler. I think the cut an early fouling disturbed Calzaghe, and as happened with Saleem, once he feels he's being fouled, he goes in and fould himself. He matched a roughhouse fighter at his own game, and while he didn't do it in a perfect way, as a boxer, he did what he had to do, and took what was, eventually, a comfortable win. It won't convince the critics, except to show he's not just a boxer.

im big calzaghe fan but mate he fought poorley where was all combos he only threw like 5 combos all night bika was stronger calzaghe didnt move him with his punches on other hand bika did move him bika was physically stronger and calzaghe won by about 8 rounds to 4 maybe 9-3 but to be honest not impressive at all im very disappointed
Re: calzaghes fight SPOILERS DONT ENTER IF U DONT WANA KNOW RESULTS
calzaghe wasnt at his best tonight but bika did do abit of cheating. headbutts and a low blow. i didnt like calzaghe showing off. he shouldnt do that. he's a much better fighter than that. hopefully better performance in his next fight

I wonder who still thinks Calzaghe would beat Roy and Hopkins and all that other unneccesary hype they gave him after beating Lacy.
Maybe if they hadn't blown Calzaghe up out of proportion like he was the second coming of Ali, Tyson and Whitaker with Roy Jones mixed in all in prime form then maybe dissapointment wouldnt happen.
Re: calzaghes fight SPOILERS DONT ENTER IF U DONT WANA KNOW RESULTS
he wernt throwing really that many combos i dont know what was wrong with him but if he fights big boys like kessler hopkins ect he needs to buck hes ideas up

He definitely didn't fight the right fight against this guy, but he took the same kind of damage that Beyer did against this chap, and he survived it to go on, continue taking him on at his game rather than boxing, but my point is that Calzaghe showed that he's not just a boxer, but that he can mix it with the street brawlers as well as any of them. I'm not defending his choice not to box, which would have made it much much easier, but in all honesty, he roughed it with a very rough man, and he won. Yeah he didn't combo enough, but he dropped his game to his opponent IMO. And yer I'm a Calzo fan, and I'm not sure that'll waver with this one. And, honestly, you can't tell me it wasn't entertaining.

Maybe because he DIDN'T have an opponent in front of him standing completely still and doing nothing but take punishment and adjust their trunks?
If he really looked that bad then he didn;t even look like the ordinary Calzaghe ??? Because even the ordinary Calzaghe throws combos, they were completely missing tonight ???
Thats worse then I thought

Well then, I'm really going to let someone who shall remain nameless
WACKO!!!!!
hear about it after the rbr.. we had a bet that Calzaghe would look ordinary in his fight after Lacy and wacko tried to say that he could beat Roy and etc etc etc
We'll see ;)
Re: calzaghes fight SPOILERS DONT ENTER IF U DONT WANA KNOW RESULTS
Hey Ice
Get real!! All champs have to fight awkward opponents! And tonight it was Joe's turn. He got through it, battled and won. Thats W.O.N!
It wasnt clean but never mind. It was tough, he came through.
Joe is still a class operator and still has one or two 'Lacey' fights in him!
Tc

Did you see RJJ's last appearance? Badi Ajamu was nothing more than a regional fighter who had the chance to grasp a payday with both hands, but even he rocked Roy, and personally, Joe's performance does not cast doubts on him the way RJJ's did upon him.
