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
