What was all this talk about this fight being a market move as far as fighting Manfredo to catapult Joe into the US market.....

I'm willing to bet EVERYTHING I own that THIS fight DID NOT DO A SINGLE THING AS FAR AS catapult or move up Joe into the US market.....

So now what?
I think that your'e wrong.

Period.

He showed out tonight/today & when it's rebroadcast tonight more people will see it.

It's going to have served it's purpose & anyone that wasn't impressed with Joe's night out...oh well...so what.

It was the ref...not Joe. Calzaghe did his work & he won the fight & woulda stopped him.

Period.
Joe done what he had to, the ref stopped it and not Joe joe, hell calzaghe even said it was stopped a lil to soon.

Lets not forget HBO WANTED a 'big' US name...
