Oh dear!

[GAME]

Calzaghe schooled roy jones!

He got knocked down in the first (again lol) but it was from roy's forearm rather than the glove in a slight uppercutting right from roy as part of a one two combo.

From then on he won every round.

Not just winning every round but he dominated.

He got caught with some good single shots every now and again but also hit roy with some quality crisp flush punches, one left cross (calzaghe a southpaw so its equivalent of a straight right) that cut jones very badly over his left eye.

From that point on calzaghe was just show boating, he knew roy couldnt hurt him.

Exactly how i predicted, joe's jab was too fast, it kept hitting roy because roy fought how he always does with low hands...except calzaghe just ended up keeping his hands out low the whole fight and sticking his chin out on purpose to taunt jones then avoiding 70% of all shots jones through with just movement lol.

Its a shame that joe showboated so much though, if he stuck to his concentration and put on a display like he did against lacy then he wouldve probably stopped jones later in the fight.

Jones' stamina was gone, his power and speed were gone after 8 rounds...joe was faster than roy and had much better all round skills.

I think joe should now retire, hes beaten everyone, never lost, been champ for 11 years! Is undisputed and indefeated champ at 2 weight divisions...he has nothing more to prove at all.

I think had this been a prime roy jones then it wouldve been a much closer fight.

Although joe exposed all roy's weaknesses he had even when in his prime. Roy has great reflexes, the best speed and great power with fantastic combos...BUT he never ever fought every minute of every round of each fight! He loved to always go against the ropes in the corner and cover up...as predicted joe just worked his body and scored points to the face as well and occassionally some big shots that stunned roy slightly in the corner as well.

Tbh, i think joe couldve ko'd him later in the fight but he was too persistant for the schooling and to show he can show boat better than roy jones.

There was a point where jones actually asked calzaghe to stop doing that after the round because it was making jones look like an idiot against him.

Shame they never founght at their prime, but if we took a prime calzaghe with no trouble in his hands and matched him against a prime jones, id say it would be a lot closer but still have to give it it to calzaghe.





Over and out.

Off to celebrate

Steve Bunce mentioned that also . After what round? Can you elaborate cuz I missed it.

If he did then its even more embarrassing . I remember Jones showed no compassion when he did it to over matched opponents . Tito came to him after the fight and had a laugh about the showboating that Jones did to him . Now Jones cant handle it when someone does it to him ?! What goes around comes around. Now he knows how it feels.

Only the best can get away with showboating. If it were a lesser boxer doing it the other boxer would be angry enough and able enough to smash his fist throught their brain.

The question is why didn't RJJ do that then ? he just allowed Joe Calzaghe to stand in front of him with his hands down. And not do nothing about it, what a terrible way to end a career.

Ice I think youre being a little harsh on Roy Jones. He is an old washed up man . He cant fight at pace and never use to even at his best .

He was badly cut and just wanted to survive. I think he did well to hang in there and as for the taunting , now Jones knows what its like to be on the receiving end for a change .

Its always puzzled me that a so called body buildler like LondonBB claims he is. Would constantly keep starting threads with titles like "Oh Dear" its sounds so camp.

Running away like that is very feminine thing to do. I was hoping you'd stay around as I have some questions to ask about bodybuilding.

My 2 cents,

Simple really.Jones is shot! period! lots of people knew this going into the fight.Calslappy didnt do much,outworked A once great fighter who is now washed-up.,,,The Showboating was just gay....Hey Joe, How about useing some of that energy that you put forth Showboating,and actually sit down on A punch!,try to score A k.o. maybe,you call yourself great but you could`nt even do what Glen Johnson did to Jones 3 years ago.

You guy`s can think Slappy is A all time great,but not this Boxing fan,Basically drawing with A Old Hopkins,and out-working A shot legend does not make you great!

As it stands right know his best win is against Lacy,Kessler,who we keep hearing is A excellent fighter,I` have not seen it yet.That and A string of title defences against Has beens and never was`s,does not constitute Greatness.Sorry
