Lets Meet In Here Sunday The 9TH
Seems to be alot of confident backers for this fight as well as intelligent and unintelligent outspoken fans, which is great..
I have a long standing tradition after big fights, that I predicted right.. I really dont gloat and if I was wrong I ALWAYS am gracious and admit I was wrong and give full credit to the fighter if he wins..
Ross
Greig
London BB
LeftyLee
Fenster
Drago
Miles
Oumafan
and whomever else who wants to
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?

Re: Lets Meet In Here Sunday The 9TH
Them sounds like fighting words to me LOL good on ya laying down the gauntlet like that ;D
I like both fighters but i think calzage will win but i will not be heart broken if he loses because i like jones as well so i will see you sunday i guess as i think joe will prevail
-
Re: Lets Meet In Here Sunday The 9TH
Fenster denigrating Roy? No way. I think Jones is GREAT. You can't put me in that club just because i think Calzaghe will beat him.
Ive said all along the greatest STORY from this fight would be a Jones win.
I just don't see how Roy can win other than sparking Joe. And thats not happening (famous last words).

I know you havent, after making the original post I went back to edit and add some names.. I made the switch in verbage;)

Re: Lets Meet In Here Sunday The 9TH
Put me on the list because I think Roy is slightly past it, and Calzaghe just too busy for him to keep up with. Tricky start, but Joe will canter down the stretch.
-
Re: Lets Meet In Here Sunday The 9TH
I think RJJ will be competitive for 3 or 4 rounds, but Calzaghe will win a UD.
-
Re: Lets Meet In Here Sunday The 9TH
Anyway.. the only certainty for Sunday is - I will be suffering from a severe hangover.
-
Re: Lets Meet In Here Sunday The 9TH
really I'm a bit hurt not making the list since I've been as dismissive as I possibly could be towards Jones chances, I think at one point I said Roy might win a round and I did so in kind of a smart ass way.

I figured you had enough to worry about being... well an Ouma-Fan ;D
consider yourself added my good man ;)

Re: Lets Meet In Here Sunday The 9TH
great, Jones will probably have some moments, one round was a bit much, but I don't think he'll win.
Either way I've been wrong so often before I don't have any problem eating crow if it happens again.

I now how that feels, ate enough of it myself. I got about 25 different recipe for crow
Crow Cocktail
Crow Scampi
Coconut Crow
Curried Crow
Crow Fra Diavlo
Stuffed Crow
Crow Parmesean
Crow over rice
ETC;D

Re: Lets Meet In Here Sunday The 9TH
Great by me. I'll be there.

As have I, my friend...
I will attempt to be here but will be out of state... I'll see if I can get on for a half hour or so...
As I've stated in other threads, Roy is an ATG and even 5 years ago would have laid the wood to Joe IMHO...
But this version of Roy is not the same man... Baddi, Henshaw, Tito? He didn't look spectacular in any of them although he did handily beat them. If Jones honestly thinks in his heart of hearts that these guys were a setup for one of the current best P4P fighters of this decade... well, I just hope he hasn't lied to himself. He is clearly not the combonation puncher he once was... He uses right hand leads as a primary weapon and seems to lack the pop he once had... Although his speed is still pretty good, how does he intend on keeping the peddle to the floor against a whirlwind like calzaghe... Jones is not the crafty slickster that Hopkins was/is... I know he has his own bag of tricks but... I just see it being competetive early but Joe pulling away much like he did to Kessler.
I'd love to see Jones win and will be backing him fight night but I'm picking the fighter with my head not my heart...
That being said...
C'MON ROY!!!!:puncher:

Re: Lets Meet In Here Sunday The 9TH
I'm gonna go on record and admit that IF Roy wins I won't be coming on, while the likes of Pride and JT are great to have a reasonable debate with, many on here WILL be talking shit. Probably won't come on even if Joe wins, as it is just after a fight people exhibit the least perspective, but if I do I'll guarantee I'll be gloat free, but considering my wobbling confidence in Joe I won't be in a position to gloat anyway.
-
Re: Lets Meet In Here Sunday The 9TH
I thik the majority of us have insulated ourselves well enough, that if Joe wins, we can say..."Yes, we knew...nice one, now let's move on. "
or if Roy wins, can say..."TOLD YOU SO :LOLATYOU: ."
-
Re: Lets Meet In Here Sunday The 9TH
I'll be here. I think Joe will win this fight and no I will not talk a bunch of shit like other's do. I forget the person's name but after I predicted a Chazz Witherspoon victory over Aerreola that asshole went on a half hour after the fight and did nothing but shove that shit in my face. So in turn I wouldn't do that to anyone because it does frustrate,and aggravate you.

I have confidence(although my heart tugs in the other directin) that Joe will slap out a hard fought win. He has a chin and loads of stamina... He'd be tough for anyone to beat...
His swarming attacks, although lacking power and crispness, seem to sway judges... I really think thats what it comes down to is judging. Like when Joe fought Hop the compbox #s were just silly and it's like the judges saw the same thing... Like for every 4 or five punches Joe threw like one would land... and not flush at that. But even so I had Joe winning by a point due to his sheer outworking Hop in the later rounds.
I know we saw a resurgence of Hopkins against Pavlik but Hokins has never been KOd and has less wear and tear due to his style.
I'm just not sure how Roy intends on dealing with Joes speed and output. We've also seen in the past that Joe has no problem getting up off the canvas and fighting on at a higher level then befor he hit the mat.
I don't know.... This is a strange fight to try to predict to me. I just don't see Roy doing enough or KOing Joe...

This is how I see it as well, at first I thought Joe would win a wide decision, but now I think it's gonna be close, and if it's close it could go either way. Joe's not been hurting people for a long time, the last guy he could hurt was Lacy, and that crazy mofo was running into every one of them punches.

I hope I can come in here on Sunday and say I was wrong but I def. don't see it happening. All the props to Roy if he can pull it off cuz the way my minds eye sees it, it would be a monumental upset.:o

It all depends on Roy, if he really is as shot as some say then he could be stopped late out of tiredness. That's the problem I have with this fight, if Joe wins easy there's nothing to brag about as it will be a testament to Roy's decline more than anything. I also like Roy as well, have always been a fan, so I won't take any pleasure watching him get battered, especially if he's deluded and thinking of continuing afterwards.
-
Re: Lets Meet In Here Sunday The 9TH
On a more serious note:
Watching the 3rd (?) 24/7 last night...Roy seemed very sober, maybe tentative and somewhat unsure of himself. I heard his words, but read his body and facial expressions...and he is either taking this fight more seriously and realistically then he has recent fights, or is generally not going in with much confidence.
I just hope for a good display, is what it boils down to for me. Let's face it. Both fighters have already made their mark on the boxing world. It would be nice to see them finishing on a high note.
-
Re: Lets Meet In Here Sunday The 9TH
In 24/7 i thought Roy was very positive and ready i think its going to be a good perhaps even great fight.
-
Re: Lets Meet In Here Sunday The 9TH
Im rooting for Calzaghe,though i do admire Jones for his legacy in the noble art game!I just want to see these both fighters battle it out as if it was their really last entrance through the ropes of a boxing ring!I have'nt got a clue of how the fight will progress when it kicks off,but i will mention this to you's is that im putting money on a draw!At a price of 25/1 its well worth £5-£10.

Re: Lets Meet In Here Sunday The 9TH
This will be the most off I've been on a pick in forever, even moreso than Hopkins-Tarver. I mean I pretty confidently picked Cotto over Margarito but I could easily envision Cotto losing, even being stopped. Here I just can't envision Roy winning.
Personally I don't get people not showing up after a loss :confused: Just me I guess. Its not that big of a deal.
