Jones was unlucking in the respect that Calzaghe gets ten seconds to recover from a knockdown, he needs a fraction of that time. Against others Jones might have been on the verge of something spectacular.

Jones was also fortunate that Calzaghe cant clump anymore, if he could it would have been another bad KO loss for Jones.

I started to feel sad watching it towards the end, Jones was getting hit at will, badly cut (what the fuck were they doing) and I wanted it stopped. Thankfully I think Joe also decided at about the same time as Jones did that it was going the distance. Jones just wanted to finish the fight and Joe I think was happy to oblige.

Great night, great event, great fighters.
It did seem a good spectacle for 5 rounds, everyone at the pub was excited and it seemed to go in the way of a classic fight. We thought Joe was showboating early to kind of show the judges that he was comfortable in there, worried that Jones might be stealing the rounds with his showboating. But it became apparent by the 6th that he was actually almost in contempt, and looked a bit daft doing it.
