OLD roy jones.

Book mark this post!

It will not be a contest after the 4th, reasons:

1. Dont stay on the ropes against Calzaghe, why? because he will slap you silly.

2. If you cant hold and spoil you better fight 3mins of every round, Roy cant do either.

Roy was once great and still is a solid 175lb fighter but Calzaghe has the worst possible style for this version of Roy Jones it will be a massare.

Can't wait to prove you wrong!

As i said before this fight is a farce Roy Jones was struggling against a mediocre opponent like Anthony Hanshaw and could only fight in spurts.............

Even when he knocked down Anthony Hanshaw he had nothing left to finish him and he only just about won a decision based on the knockdown...........

As for Felix Trinidad ? he lost 4 rounds against a blow up Welterweight because he got pounded against the ropes............

Joe Calzaghe is past his prime but he should still have enough to stop Roy Jones on the ropes Roy Jones just doesn't have the stamina to keep up and he will be puffing like the old man he is after 6 rounds.

Im not tugging on Calzaghes chain but Jones has no chance in this fight zero it will be a battering until Jones gets stopped.

If Roy wins then it will prove how overrated Calzaghe really is.

I wouldn't say Joe Calzaghe is overrated a few years ago he was very underrated and no one knew of him i think he deserves his P4P status and the credit he is getting for his list of wins lately.

I think the Kessler win was his best of his career

how does jones beat joe c?

how does jones beat joe c?

Should Roy have a chance at beating Joe C he has to be on his toes all night, force Joe to move forward and counter with the right hand.

Joe is more awkward coming forward, he's accustomed to being a reactive counterpuncher. Move backward and he'll be out of his element (a la Hopkins.) Roy has always displayed a good straight right and thats how to catch a southpaw.

For Roy to win this fight he has to get Joes respect early. Use his right hand early in the fight so Joe knows he cant stay in punching range at all times. Jones cant match him for stamina either so he has to make sure what he does throw counts . Punch picking, accuracy and timing . Sounds similar to Hopkins plan but in terms of spoiling I dont think Jones is that good and neither is he good at wrestling on the inside. He cant run all night from Joe but he cant afford to lay on the ropes either cuz he will get eaten

In the gym it may be an idea to train for power. Joe has been hurt b4 and catching him cold would be great for Jones. Angles and positioning against a busy fighter is also a key to victory . Hopkins set him up well but couldnt sustain his work . Jones has to work on the openings, dont punch with Joe, establish an authorative jab , foil his work and be 1st in center ring . When Joe opens up with his slaps flurries , jones cant afford to stay stiff with a high guardhe needs well timed counters and plant his feet to gain Joes respect . If he does all this he can win on points .

I can't see Roy winning unless somehow he rekindles that power of old and one punchs Calzaghe, but of late he has substituted power to retain speed so I don't see that happening because he doesn't throw punches like he used to.

as much as i hate to say it and as wrong as i hope i am...joe will simply out work roy...but he did get dropped by a slow bhop right hand so who knows
