Novembers UK vs USA - Who wins?

[Tysonbruno]

I think JC will win quite a omfy decision, but will lose the first 3 rounds
Hatton will win a close decision against Pauli
Haye will Stop Barrett

so 3-0 to Britain.

Most likely to lose = Haye

Can any fighter afford to lose the first 3 rounds vs Roy Jones?

This version of Jones yes! I think he will 'Gas Out'

JC lost the first 4 rounds to Hopkins and still clearly won imo

[GAME]

Id be very surprised if it isnt 3-0 to the Brits

Generally, outcomes to boxing fights are not easy to predict, but the fights mentioned are unusually difficult.

Easiest Pick: Haye over Barrett - mid round stoppage. Assuming Haye's talent translates into the heavier weight class, he should outclass Barrett.

Most Difficult Pick: Calzaghe over Jones - decision win, but I can see Jones' style giving Calzaghe problems. Three months ago, I thought Jones was an easy win for Calzaghe, now Jones has convinced me that he may spring a major upset here. Then again, I can see that Calzaghe could dominate the fight and win decisively. Really tough one to call.

Hatton over Paulie on points, but semi-controversial. Paulie is a poor (or destitute man's) man's PBF - good movement, good feetwork, fast etc. As mentioned above, his problem is that he has no power. He ain't knocking Hatton out, but he may win on punch output and defense. Will Hatton box for 12 rounds?

If you changed the title to "November & December UK v. North America," I would probably also include Carl Froch over Jean Pascal, late round stoppage.

4-0 UK.

Another way to look at it is what outcome would be most shocking? I think Barrett beating Hate would be surprising as would Paulie beating Ricky, but if Jones beat Joe, I'd be surprised, but not as shocked.

I think Joe can cause as long as he makes Jones work for those 3rounds i dont see that much of a problem Roy carnt fight for 12 rounds no more and Calzaghe can.

[No Contest]

3-0 U.S. All the underdogs are gonna pull it off.

[The Rela]

I'd say 3-0 to UK, but none are definates.

[Althugz]

2-1 U.K

RJJ putting the seal on his greatness

[DaxxKahn]

It is possible....Would not be surprised if it was...

Though I am picking Malignaggi over Hatton...

Though only 1 will be able to claim a victory over a prime opponent

[The Rela]

I'd have

Hatton as my first pick
Calzaghe second
and Haye third.

Can't see Hatton losing - no way.

[CutMeMick]

Joe UD
Haye TKO rd. 2
Hatton TD stopped on cuts Paulie can't continue.

[Andre]

For the first time ever I have the Americans as underdogs ,that tells us allot about the timing and thats a sad thing.
"Go the underdogs " ."Kick some ass"

[WelshDevilRob]

Should probably have titled the topic - Who has the most chance of being upset?"

[WelshDevilRob]

1 down. 2 to Go

Joe Calzaghe UD over Roy Jones Junior.

[SweetPea]

Right now it looks like it will be 3-0 UK.

Malignaggi has looked very mediocre his last 2 fights. After his first win over Ndou, I thought he looked like a fighter on the rise. But he's regressed since then.
