That's exactly how I feel. I'm really hoping for a good, competitive fight that does justice to what both of them have accomplished in the sport.
See you guys Sunday ;D

I'll come in here to watch on Sunday, because I have a feeling that some will have a hard time staying civil. ;)

Re: Lets Meet In Here Sunday The 9TH
After all big fights there's a whole bunch of "I told you so's," gloating fans of the winner, and countless excuses for the losing fighter from their following. If it is possible for some sort of harmony and intelligent, yet, controlled debate after this caliber of fight, I would think anything is possible.
I hope this happens...then maybe I would believe there is hope for Pacfans! Lol!

Re: Lets Meet In Here Sunday The 9TH
So Im figuring on a new crow recipe... how does Thai Crow with lemon Grass and bamboo shoots sound.. Or how about a health grilled crow with dirty rice and a mango salsa?
Any way Kudo's to Joe and his fans, I tricked myself to think that Roy would let it hang out with his wang out, he managed to unzip his trunks and still try to do something, but the wang never hanged... I got disheartened when I realized that Roy couldnt pull the trigger anymore, and I got squemish as I watched Joe drop his hands and put his face thru Jones guard, when even the biggest Calzage fanboy can admit Roy a few years ago could have and would have knocked his head into press row..
Besides the cut I wasnt buying into Roy was getting a beat down, his legs still looked decent he was never buckled and Joe was hitting the guard mostly, it was just painful to see Roy get pittered but hey thats the way it goes..
My support of Roy was not an indictment on Joe and his greatness, were I became a staunch supporter of his after Kessler and realized his greatness and current standing I believe he is PFP#1 but as well as historically.. You always have o stick by your fighter through the thick and thin and agonize when they lose, its the curse of the loyal fan..
I will have the same trouble next week with Jeff Lacy I am loyal to a fault with my fighters regardless of there performance and I know i will probably get my heart broken with Jeff too since he hasnt looked real good of late:-\
Same as Holyfield, against Toney was one of the hardest fights I ever watched since I love both fighters, but Holy is my all time favorite and seeing James dissect him like that made me numb..
Congrats Joe and his fans you were right about everything in the matchup how the fight would unfold etc :appl:
Be gracious and dignified in victory ;)

Class post JT.Roy fought like a champion and displayed a huge heart.Calzaghe made the most of his opportunity and controlled the show.Respect to both.I hope Roy calls it a career,it was hard to watch as he was reduced to looking for one right at a time,walking into stuff and loading up, gaining a "Moral" victory. No donuts this AM,but some quality powdered Beignets and coffee with chicory ;D

Appreciate it, Thanks for the offering. Im currently brewing up some pumpkin spice coffee, since its the time of the year but also have some hazelnut as well as a variety of teas.. Help yourself, the half/half is on the table as well as sugar or splenda. I put another log in the stove the others should be arriving soon;)

Re: Lets Meet In Here Sunday The 9TH
Rewatch # 2.That KD was rough,Joe was really shook up in the 1st.I think it was key point when he came right back on Roy though.Never realized how far apart Calzaghes legs can be inspots also.Losses alot of his left effectivness
Also the Ref.I had my doubts during the rbr or Sticky thread but he was invisable,did a good job.

I challenge you to do the same since some you guys are pretty denigrating toward Jones, so lets meet in here Sunday and have a coffee and intelligent conversation regardless of who wins? What do you say?
Nice one, I made the top of your list, does this mean in your eyes I was the most adamant the Joe would win?
Yes Roy isnt the fighter je once was but Joe has also slowed a little, ive always felt that a dtermined worker with skill like Joe would give Roy trouble at any point in his career, Joe has a chin and when he stands in front of you and takes 3 or 4 big shots in succession it plays on Roys mind that he cant leap in with a chance of a ko, he goes in to his shell.
Although, I will give Roy this, he at least tried to put up a fight here.

Hey on paper it was all Joe going into this fight, Jones brings a certain dynamic to a fight even at an advanced age.. I'm a fan of the Jones 1st and foremost, so I dig and analyze and look at things that may favor Roy based on the clash in styles... Roy thru away the fight in the 1st round, Joe was visibly hurt and shaken from the knockdown, it wasnt a flash shot.. Roy dosent have the killer instinct anymore to end a fight, he could have easily stopped Joe but I think he was scared to over commit or was confident that he would have his way with Joe the rest of the fight

It was a rubbish fight JT IMO, im not really giving Joe Calzaghe much credit for this win at all. It was like watching Muhammad Ali vs Larry Holmes, it was a sad fight indeed.
Roy Jones stunned Joe Calzaghe a few times but never followed it up, you shouldn't be in boxing if you haven't got the killer insinct, which RJJ clearly hasn't got anymore.
And Joe Calzaghe's constant clowning was pissing me off aswell, RJJ looked worse in this fight than he did even in the 3rd Antonio Tarver.
He couldn't even avoid any punches or block any, one of the saddest fights i've ever seen being a big RJJ fan. It was like watching Pernell Whitaker's last fight just sad.

not to mention you like to think back at special and magical moment is sports where the impossible is done, I though Jones could have provided that for us...
Also am I the only irate one over Augustus getting the shaft, I mean WTF!!!! he won 5-6 rounds of that fight... Almost felt like the scorecards were made out before the fight even started... I hope he atleast gets a few more cracks, even tho the judges boned him promoters and fans see the value of his entertaining performance

Re: Lets Meet In Here Sunday The 9TH
I really enjoyed the fight and the nerves were there too. Certainly edge of your seat stuff in the 1st few rounds.
Calzaghe went down hard in the 1st and I honestly thought that was the end of him. Replays showed it was a combiantion of a punch and a forearm (accidental). Either way Joe had to drag himself up.
I thought Roy started the showboating and then Calzaghe just outdid him. No harm in it as they both have been known to do it.
Some superb heavy shots in the fight by Roy while Joe landed alot more and landed nice shots to the body.
The fight for Joe was already in the bag for Joe by the time of the cut in the 7th which was horrendous. Full credit to Roy for not quiting or giving up even though he must have sensed he was a beaten fighter.
Joe fought a superb fight tactically and picked his punches well combining them with the flurries when needed.
Now Please retire Joe - I can't take anymore. (Roy should get out aswell after a great final last stand from a Legend)
I predicted a Joe Ko 6 - called it wrong though the cut could have caused a stoppage - glad it didn't.

Did you call it rubbish before it took place ICB ,just asking?The writing was on the wall.I think Roy was seeing things but his reflexes were dimmed.He said as much in between one of the rounds.I think Roy's instinct were there but reflex was not.
Its hard as shite watching an all time fav getting bested.You can almost live vicariously through fighters as a big fan and when they fall,it effects ya.Ive said before,when Holyfield was flattened face first in the 3rd Bowe fight....after having Bowe stunned badly and not being able to pull the trigger for finish....man I stopped following the sport for a good 7-9 months.This may sound twisted but I gained a new measure of repect for Roy last night.Jones did not choose to lose,Calzaghe Took it.

Re: Lets Meet In Here Sunday The 9TH
One thing I've realized is that other boxers usually have no more idea than the average fan does about who is actually going to win.
Winkie Wright, Bernard Hopkins, Glen Johnson, Jeff Lacy and Lennox Lewis all picked Jones to win.
Also, I was looking forward to someone interviewing Kessler or Bernard after the fight and asking them what they thought of the fight.

I think recently that people like to pick the long shot because it makes them look better if they're right. About half way though the secons round when Roy was showboating I'm sure many of them felt vindicated.
It was quite interesting for the first 5 rounds, as a joe fan I was genuinely nervous, but from the 6th it became obvious that Roy really didn't have enough left, and that Joe was supremely confident - even though he looked a bit daft with that red nose ;D
-
Re: Lets Meet In Here Sunday The 9TH
Don't think it would have mattered but not having a quality professional cutman in corner was just horrible.
In between 8-9 Roy was all focused on that cut "Dont hit hard,dont hit hard.....are we closed....are we closed.....(blood streaming down and they were doing nothing).....you can't stop the bleeding??"
Sidenote......Zab Judah does not belong any where near PPV ;D

Yes actually i did Spicoli and i said countless times i was only rooting for RJJ, because he was one of my favorite fighters. RJJ didn't come to win at all. Heres quote by me before the fight.
"I think Joe Calzaghe has a very good chance of winning, im only going with RJJ because he is one of my favorite fighters. And he was one of my idols when i used to watch him as a young kid."

Not as bad as Ali vs Holmes but it was for certain similar but in different ways. RJJ got embarrassed and was cut things that have never happened to him before.
He had no killer instinct and just took punches off Calzaghe, without rarely throwing back. A very sad fight indeed.

Roy did what he could Ice, it was from from Ali/Holmes.. Roy couldnt pull the trigger, thats the bottom line he was game throughout the whole fight and never thought about quitting or survival mode, he fought with what he had left.. I am proud that it didnt end on the stool

Too right!!! I nearly had a heart attack. ;D (I had a decent money interest in the fight as well as wanting Joe)
That was possibly the worst Calzaghe has ever been hurt.. He stood up real awkward.. luckily for him he recovers so fast.
Good post earlier JT (wont allow me to rep yet) ;)

Its hard as shite watching an all time fav getting bested.You can almost live vicariously through fighters as a big fan and when they fall,it effects ya.Ive said before,when Holyfield was flattened face first in the 3rd Bowe fight....after having Bowe stunned badly and not being able to pull the trigger for finish....man I stopped following the sport for a good 7-9 months.This may sound twisted but I gained a new measure of repect for Roy last night.Jones did not choose to lose,Calzaghe Took it.
Yes actually i did Spicoli and i said countless times i was only rooting for RJJ, because he was one of my favorite fighters. RJJ didn't come to win at all. Heres quote by me before the fight.
"I think Joe Calzaghe has a very good chance of winning, im only going with RJJ because he is one of my favorite fighters. And he was one of my idols when i used to watch him as a young kid."
Roy did what he could Ice, it was from from Ali/Holmes.. Roy couldnt pull the trigger, thats the bottom line he was game throughout the whole fight and never thought about quitting or survival mode, he fought with what he had left.. I am proud that it didnt end on the stool
JT i was worried before the fight simply because when i was watching the 24/7 show. RJJ looked too calm and he didn't look like he had any fire in his belly.
He didn't give it his all JT the whole thing just felt like a farce to me, RJJ wasn't even trying after about the 3rd round. And Joe Calzaghe was just clowning every second that it felt like i was watching a circus.
It was actually embarrassing to watch especially since i had my friends and my girl over. It certainly was in no way shape or form a championship fight, i see no desire or ETC in RJJ at all.
And Joe Calzaghe just done anything he wanted a got away with it, i was screaming at the screen just hit him RJJ Joe Calzaghe's hands are down to his waist and he is 2 inches away from you. What the hell are you doing ?
And the ref never even looked at the cut which was horrendous, the ref was just a disgrace and the fight felt like some freak exhibition fight.
I actually regret watching the fight now, rarely have i actually stopped watching a fight properly until its finished. Especially since i normally enjoy the sweet science, which is why im a fan of fighters like Pernell Whitaker, Floyd Mayweather Jr.
I felt us the fans JT who rooted for RJJ, and just the fans in general got cheated badly IMO.

Too right!!! I nearly had a heart attack. ;D (I had a decent money interest in the fight as well as wanting Joe)
That was possibly the worst Calzaghe has ever been hurt.. He stood up real awkward.. luckily for him he recovers so fast.
Good post earlier JT (wont allow me to rep yet) ;)
He was hurt more when he was knocked down against Kabary Salem.

Re: Lets Meet In Here Sunday The 9TH
I don't know if any of you went to the philly casino last night but my god what an amteur fight crowd that was. I mean they pretty much thought the fight was over when Calzaghe went down in the first,people actually walked away thinking it was over.I just kept saying to my self did these people watch the last Calzaghe fight. I guess not. I was more focused on my asshole lush of a friend yelling McCain every 5 mins, grabbing people's asses and waiting for someone to lay him out rather than Calzaghe doing it. IMO to me I thought Joe took it easy on Roy in the championship rounds it looked he could have knocked him out but was more intent on showboating and slapping the hell out of him instead. Now Joe has to be the number 1 p4p fighter on my list. He has beaten everyone he wanted to fight,still undefeated and their is nothing more to accomplish. To me he is #1 and he sure fought like that last night.

Re: Lets Meet In Here Sunday The 9TH
The thing with Joe is, the bigger the threat the more workman like he is.
Roy Jones fans, dont take offence but we can agree that Roy at 39 xant be the man that made his name anymore and Joe fought acordingly, he didnt feel a threat from Roy so fought like a sloppy idiot at times but still he piissed all over him.
Joe didnt showboat at all with Kessler because he knew he was fighting a dangerous classy young champ, with Jones he knew he was just fighting a name and I do belive he would slap the shiit out of Dawson.
Joe went down from a shot but it was an akward one as the replay showed, he took a few clean big shots after that and walked through em.
If Joe wants to carry on and fight Dawson just to prove a point, do it soon and then retire, dont sit around dithering about it.
Also the reason the otehr fighters like Hopkins, Lacy and Lewis were saying Jones would win is because deep down they know Joe is squickly gaining respect and going up in estimation and has that unbeaten record and they are green with envy.
Kellerman saying that Joe is vying with Lewis for the best british or european fighter or whatever the crap he came out with, Joe has surpassed Lewis, he hasnt been sparked by nobodys and beat everyone in a long career.
I do think that Joe would have outlasted Roy when he was still good, nothing says otherwise.

I don't think so. He momentarily closed his eyes when going down against Salem but was up instantly without looking to have dodgy legs.
Against Roy.. He looked lethargic getting up and his legs were completely stiff for a split second. More like the Mitchell knocdown.
Either way he recovers real fast. ;)

I think the shot against Kabary Salem was a huge shot, he took that right on the button and went down pretty heavy. And he was for certain shook up from that shot for atleast 30 seconds.
Against RJJ he was just caught cold IMO similar to the Bernard Hopkins knockdown. And it wasn't even a proper punch was it ? from the replay it looked like a wrist shot.

Re: Lets Meet In Here Sunday The 9TH
Just like Lacy bar the first round.
Beat Jones in every way, shape and form. The sheer amount of punches Calzaghe threw was unbelievable. He did his country proud.
