Just wasn't the Joe we know imo.
Calzaghe is most effective when he knuckles down,works behind his jab and does the basics well instead of looking for the early KO to impress the US viewers.
I don't know Joe has always been a showman in the ring. I'm really annoyed by his choosing of a sacrifical lamb for his next opponent and even kind of want him to lose as a punishment but I know that once he gets in the ring I'll go all goosebumpley and start cheering for him anyway.

When Joe is on form it's hard not to support, he's the most exciting boxer in Britain by a mile imo.
