Bets On Joe Calzaghe vs Roy Jones In Here.

[Tysonbruno]

Just because im from Britain doesn't mean i should back British fighters boxers are individuals its not just about there country. A lot of football fans dont support there own team e.g my mate is from Mansfield but he doesn't support Mansfield town he doesn't support Nottingham Forest or Notts County he supports Liverpool.

What has where a fighter comes from have anything to do with boxing ? first off i have never really like Joe Calzaghe's fighting style, where as i always liked RJJ flashy style.

I'm with Big H on this one, you should support your home fighters. I've never understood how people like Dark Lord Al and Tyson Bruno can hate on Calzaghe so much. Or Bilbo on Hatton etc..

I'm no longer a fan of Hatton's style and I hate the way Calzaghe taps open handed. That said I'll still be screamig at the TV for them to win in the coming weeks.

I support Wolverhampton Wanderers because that's where I'm from. I support the England football team because that's where I'm from. I supported Great Britain in the Olympics becuase that's where I'm from.

Sure I apprceciate how great Brazil play the beautiful game but that doesn't mean I'd support them if they were playing England.

what about for a draw

25/1

£10 on that

Hmmmmmmm........Thats what i was thinking of putting me money on.Mind you i've never put a bet on a draw "EVER" but i have a gut feeling that this could really happen.Its at least worth a few quid on it!Just for the record i'll think Calzaghe will win by SD.

i dont know why i just really think it will happen a great fight by 2 of the greatest a draw they both retire on a high ?

[Drago]

I will do a name change bet with anyone i want Roy Jones after watching Calzaghe vs Kessler again i think Roy can do it.

i will take that bet

Ok buddy

ok big man i will be TysonBruno's byatch! if RJJ wins how abt u brotha?

When have I ever wanted a British fighter to lose?

'ROUTING' for means WANTING to win. That's a lot different to objectively thinking somebody will win!!

Plus RJJ was one of my hero's growing up, i think its silly just to root for a fighter. Because there from the same country as you just for the sake of it.

Agreed 100%

It's a weird concept - supporting somebody just because they were born on the same bit of land as you. Can't believe that takes presidence over the fighter in general. For example, i don't like Junior Witter much, but he lives near me.

I sincerely hope Roy Jones rolls back the years and puts on a show. My head says Calzaghe will be too busy for him. I think Roy is at that stage where he is happy just to be headlining, where Calzaghe is desperately trying to stay undefeated. Of course, Jones could be much more determined than we all think. I know he isn't the fighter he once was, but even a 50% Roy Jones is better than most of other light-heavys out there.

disliked calzaghe when he came on the scene, i was guted when he beat eubank, & not happy when he beat reid either, but think i was being prejudiced cos he was welsh (sad i know) but the guy grew on me & after meeting him he was pure class a true gentleman, & thats why i am a big fan

Just like you did with Floyd Mayweather against Ricky Hatton ?

Me too only cause I go for the underdog every fight ,I don't care where they are from.
I want to see the best from everyone and to bring out the best in both I always end up thinking for the underdog, do this ,do that,move here move there, thats it control that side of him, "ohhhhhhh! Nooooooooooo" and sometimes Ahhhhhhhhhh YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !

The YES's are worth the wait.

Go ROY.

[Andre]

Im dreading the posts of excuses if Joe wins. I think there will be more comming from that side than from Joes fans when Roy wins it.

if calzaghe loses could we not argue he is past his prime ?

spot on

So home where you live or home where you were born?

I think follow who ever you like or else we are all tarred with a one sided brush just so others can maintain a flag waving mentality!

What about Saddo should he of been backing German fighters cause he moved over there ? Now he is back in old England so he has to change back now to English fighters?

Born on a plane? You have to barrak for which countrys flag the plane was flying under!
Or can they barrak for anyone?

I don't want to be forced into barraking for Mundine (on your set of rules) if he ever fights over there in England, Im switching to rule no #3 and going for my country of births fighter on the night not where my passport said I am from.Actually Im froma vagina so that wil explain why im being such a c... on this matter

[Bx730NY]

I'll take Calzaghe with whoever for whatever. IMO, Roy is the only guy fast enough and with enough power to go along with his speed to really have a chance to beat Joe.

I think though that Joe knowing he's done after this fight, he's highly motivated and he's gonna have a go fro broke attitude that's gonna carry him to huge victory. Win or lose, it's gonna be a much better fight than the one against hopkins because he's fighting a guy who not gonna need to cheat and can handle losing like a man.

Thats ridiculous you sound just like another member who used to be here Yotisdan. Boxing is not about country vs country is about two guys in the ring putting it all on the line.

I either like a fighter or i don't i personally don't like Ricky Hatton, or Joe Calzaghe's style so why should i root for them ? you just said you don't like Hatton or Calzaghe's style yet you root for them ?

I really don't understand that at all, you should root for the fighter who you appreciate the most for there skills, heart, or exciting style. Which ever one it is it shouldn't be just because they come from the same country.

As for your last comment i couldn't careless about football, i don't mind playing it but i never follow it and i don't understand the hype it gets.

[Tysonbruno]

i will take that bet

Ok buddy

ok big man i will be TysonBruno's byatch! if RJJ wins how abt u brotha?

You can call me whatever you want
