    Maybe it's just me, but I don't like the style matchup. I think it has the potential to be a boring fight. Jones will be picking his spots, looking to outbox and outslick Joe... while I don't see Joe representing any kind of KO threat to Roy. We could see a Jones defensive clinic with a little posing thrown in, along with some scattered Calzaghe flurries that look a little less impressive when shown in slow motion.

    But then again I could be wrong.

    As much as I do not care for this fight, it can be a total toss up.I honestly did not put much stock at all in Tito Victory...more of a "event".The speed of Jones is some what deminished but remains there as well as his ability to exploit flaws and mistakes.I think Calzaghe must come out like Johnson did and get on him from jump off,Make his mind a mess and use those rough & tumble tactics on the inside that Joe is capable of....If he tries to out think or wait around,Jones will look to pot-shot him all night,I can see both hurt .

    Calzaghe will not be able to keep up with ROy speedwise, but he won't have to, All he needs to do is put pressure on Jones like he did against HOpkins, and he will either KO Roy, or overwhelm him with punches. Roy doesn't have the slick defense or footwork possessed of Hopkins, nor does he have the stamina to withstand Calzaghe. If Calzaghe were more brash and tried to simply outbox Roy the whole fight then that is the only way I see Roy winning because he is still too quick for Joe on the outside, if he isn't scared to let his punches go. If he needs 4 or 5 rounds to really open up like he did against Trinidad then I see Calzaghe countering Roy's not fully commited punches, then Roy going into a defensive mode for the rest of the fight only trying to survive.

    It isnt quite the fight I was wanting. But regardless, I shall try to get into the spirit of the matchup and just try to enjoy it for what it is....two veterans trading off.

    I think Joe has too much for him in 2008. He wins a UD. You can guarantee the last ten seconds of round twelve they both throw a flurry at each other.
