My Roy/Joe prediction.

[SigmaMu]

Jones chin will fall short and he is going to get knocked the puck out.

Im looking for Jones to pull off the upset here.

Roy needs to get Joe's attention early with thudding right hand leads anywhere they can find a home. Make Joe think just a little about throwing the busy flurries that only expose him.

I think if Roy can give Joe a moment of pause in the first 3 by letting his hands fly a little harder, he puts a big dent in Calzaghe's pitter- patter- points- plan.

I also think Roy is plenty quick at 39, and plenty crafty yet. I thought he did a fine job starting the rebuilding of himself after his losses, and although I thought Tito looked too small in their fight, Roy danced and boxed and thudded beautifully. Looked fantastic in fact.

Im picking Jones Jr to win the decision here.


I think we might finally see genuine concern, with some wonderment sprinkled in, on the face of Joe in the first few rounds. Roy's gonna be like nothing he's tangled with.




Now then. Im a big Calzaghe fan, too. Part of me would like nothing more to see him retire undefeated. And although you hear alot of talk about how old Roy is, or how long in the tooth and detiorated he is, I still give Joe props for fighting him in his farewell bout. If I was Joe, I could think of alot of easier final fights than RJJ.
