Lets Meet In Here Sunday The 9TH

Nice one, I made the top of your list, does this mean in your eyes I was the most adamant the Joe would win?

Yes Roy isnt the fighter je once was but Joe has also slowed a little, ive always felt that a dtermined worker with skill like Joe would give Roy trouble at any point in his career, Joe has a chin and when he stands in front of you and takes 3 or 4 big shots in succession it plays on Roys mind that he cant leap in with a chance of a ko, he goes in to his shell.

Although, I will give Roy this, he at least tried to put up a fight here.

Hey on paper it was all Joe going into this fight, Jones brings a certain dynamic to a fight even at an advanced age.. I'm a fan of the Jones 1st and foremost, so I dig and analyze and look at things that may favor Roy based on the clash in styles... Roy thru away the fight in the 1st round, Joe was visibly hurt and shaken from the knockdown, it wasnt a flash shot.. Roy dosent have the killer instinct anymore to end a fight, he could have easily stopped Joe but I think he was scared to over commit or was confident that he would have his way with Joe the rest of the fight

It was a rubbish fight JT IMO, im not really giving Joe Calzaghe much credit for this win at all. It was like watching Muhammad Ali vs Larry Holmes, it was a sad fight indeed.

Roy Jones stunned Joe Calzaghe a few times but never followed it up, you shouldn't be in boxing if you haven't got the killer insinct, which RJJ clearly hasn't got anymore.

And Joe Calzaghe's constant clowning was pissing me off aswell, RJJ looked worse in this fight than he did even in the 3rd Antonio Tarver.

He couldn't even avoid any punches or block any, one of the saddest fights i've ever seen being a big RJJ fan. It was like watching Pernell Whitaker's last fight just sad.

Sorry bud but this was nothing like in any way ALI vs HOLMES ... ANY WAY AT ALL THAT IS...

One thing I've realized is that other boxers usually have no more idea than the average fan does about who is actually going to win.

Winkie Wright, Bernard Hopkins, Glen Johnson, Jeff Lacy and Lennox Lewis all picked Jones to win.

Also, I was looking forward to someone interviewing Kessler or Bernard after the fight and asking them what they thought of the fight.

I think recently that people like to pick the long shot because it makes them look better if they're right. About half way though the secons round when Roy was showboating I'm sure many of them felt vindicated.

It was quite interesting for the first 5 rounds, as a joe fan I was genuinely nervous, but from the 6th it became obvious that Roy really didn't have enough left, and that Joe was supremely confident - even though he looked a bit daft with that red nose

Don't think it would have mattered but not having a quality professional cutman in corner was just horrible.

In between 8-9 Roy was all focused on that cut "Dont hit hard,dont hit hard.....are we closed....are we closed.....(blood streaming down and they were doing nothing).....you can't stop the bleeding??"

Sidenote......Zab Judah does not belong any where near PPV

Not as bad as Ali vs Holmes but it was for certain similar but in different ways. RJJ got embarrassed and was cut things that have never happened to him before.

He had no killer instinct and just took punches off Calzaghe, without rarely throwing back. A very sad fight indeed.
