I Dont Blame Joe For Gloating

[Gandalf]

It was a little too much for my liking though. I find it more entertaining to see him throw more punches rather than goofing off every 30 seconds or so. A few times I could understand, he wants to entertain after all. But it became a bit repetitive.

I did want to see him push Jones to the limits and try and stop him, so that might have a bit to do with my frustration at the excessive showboating.

Unless it is a one sided demolishen job, showboating is normally the sign of a bad fight and a frustrated fighter trying to get the crowd into the fight

A legit point,mine was Roy dodged him for so long,I cant really blame Joe for doing a little, "Oh who's bad now?" in there. Id have done it if it was me. I probably wouldnt have been able to help myself

Thing is when Roy would do it, it came across as a skill and would just amaze you. Bernard as well against Pavlik with his bolo punching. Even Emanuel Augustus had us in fits last night with his showboating because it was comedic...but JC comes across as the most unlikable arrogant prick when he showboats.

But hey, maybe that's just me...

I think it really depends if you like the fighter or not.

I'm a massive Calzaghe fan and so thought it was awesome doing to Jones what Jones has done to so many other fighters over the years.

I also don't think Jones is nearly as shot as people say.

It honestly wouldn't suprise me if he got a fight with Hopkins next and won a decision.

Hopkins isn't a relentlessly punching, fast paced, physical fighter in the way Calzaghe is and the slower pace might suit Roy.

Him and Hopkins in a rematch I still really want to see, and I still think Roy would have a chance of winning that fight, although I'd put Hopkins as favourite obviously.

Thanks for the avatar pic by the way, it's a real treat

Only because Joe is still winning when hes doing it.

A fighter moving up a weight to fight established, class fighters in that weight and completely box their ears off can do what he wants.

If Bernard and Roy didnt like it, maybe they should have tried beating him for it but they couldnt, Joe was too good for em.

Now, Roy doing it to a fighter moving up 2 weights, coming off a loss and 3 years out is a bit tedious

Yeah because beating someone after he's clearly shot is true vindication -.-;

Had it been a cocky American doing it then people wouldn't question it. Cos it's a pasty guy from rainy Wales people are upset.

Yeah Joe gave as good as he got

If you notice Jones was the one who started the taunting . he had Joe down and was winding his punches up ( when he thought he wa sin control ) but in round 2 Joe wasnt gonna let anyone do that to him and when he realised he was far superior to Jones he started oing it back to him but much worse.

Ok he may have over done it but IMO Joe was just showing that he can give Jones every chance yet still make it look easy

[XaduBoxer]

I won't criticise what Joe had done... He has his reasons for doing it...

But I like boxers who will just box without these antics... Boxers who will continue to pour everything even if he's ahead in the fight up to the penultimate round... I'm more entertained by boxers who give it all than those ones who showboats...

I thought you were telling us last week that Jones was going to win?

And as far as all the people complaining about Joe showboating, I'm afraid it's just your tough fucking luck. Jones made a career of doing stuff like that when he was defending his title against firemen and sanitation workers so it was fitting that somebody eventually did it back to him. That was definitely the first time that he's been outclowned in a ring.
