I think Calzaghe wins this more than likely, but Jones showed some smarts against Hanshaw.
I wonder why Jones is so KO hesitant, but I hope he's able to open up more against Joe. If it goes the distance I don't see Roy winning a decision.
His two KO loses are the reason - 9 times out of 10 to go for the KO you have to put yourself in a place where you be KO'd. Jones does not want to go there. He could have finished Tito early but played safe - can't do that against Calzaghe or he will win by a big points difference.
Jones built his style on doing everything wrong and got away with it because of his amazing reflexes and speed. The problem is these fighters reach a certain stage where the reflexes have slowed a little and the things they did wrong and got away with are punished.
