Calzaghe vs Jones scores

[Fenster]

Don't know how you scored the 3rd for Jones? I'm pretty sure Calzaghe did a number on him in that round.

As Jim said though, the scores are irrelevant, Jones was thrashed.

But you know what i mean 118-109 is a joke

Well post your scorecard and see what you've got

[Otley]

Apart from the 1st round i gave all rounds to Calzaghe.....there were a few rounds which Jones scored the harder punches but on work rate alone Calzaghe won every single round.

Job Biscuit (118-109 was the score)!!!

I watched it twice today and have it the same way. A clean sweep from the second onwards. Jones was outworked all the way and it even seemed as though Calzaghe was going easy a little on Jones Jr towards the end. He could have closed the show and gone for the cut badly if he wanted to. Look at the final round, Calzaghe was content to cruise by then.

Round 1 Jones 10-8 (Calzaghe won 2 minutes 55 of that round too so is it 10-9?

Round 2 - 11 Calzaghe 10-9

Round 12 I'll be kind and give it to Jones

so 117-110

You are right Miles.

JC was quoted in The Sun today as going easy on RJJ towards the end.

I'm para phrasing here but Joes said something like "I could have knocked Roy out towards the end but I was enjoying myeslf in there. I just kept the combinations going, in and out. Plus Roy still had some power in his uppercuts so I decided to take no risks"

Something along them lines anyway.

Joe was going in easy on him final four rounds and would have got the stoppage if he really wanted to. The whole press conference is available on Boxingscene now, I rather watch them than read the crap the papers take out of them, they take everything out of context. Joe does say in the press conference when asked that he didn't go for the stoppage as he didn't want to take unnecesary risks.

Don't know how you scored the 3rd for Jones? I'm pretty sure Calzaghe did a number on him in that round.

As Jim said though, the scores are irrelevant, Jones was thrashed.

He wasn't thrashed at all, especially in the first half of the fight, you could easily have given Roy the 2nd, 4th, and 6th round in that fight. That would have had him ahead 4 rounds to 2, and on top of that a knockdown. I think Roy was ahead at the halfway mark, before his eye got cut. Then with the 12th on Roy's side its a close fight.

I'll explain how I got the rounds the way I did.
1st round: Joe was winning the round, but not enough to reverse the knockdown 10-8
the 2nd round: It was relatively close, but Roy was countering, and landing the cleaner punches, neither man really significantly outlanded the other guy.
round 3: Roy landed a lot of leather, but Calzaghe outworked him, but it was a close round because Joe wasn't landing cleanly that often.
4th round: Calzaghe was ahead by a slight margin because he was landing more than Jones, and deserved the round despite Roy countering him stiffly a few times, UNTIL Calzaghe backed Roy up onto the ropes in the last 30 seconds, where he preceeded to hit Roy on the gloves about 40 times, and was countered by at least 10 very solid punches, including three at the very end when Joe dropped his hands to show boat.
5th round: relatively close, Roy was countering effectively, but Joe got the best of him, once agian with a volume of largely missed punches.
round 6: They both fought well, Calzaghe was a little busier, but wasn't enough ahead to counteract the huge right uppercut Roy landed at the end of the round.
7-9: Joe picked up the pace and clearly won them, but once again besides a cut he wasn't landing anymore than Tarver or Glen Johnson were.
10: Close round I still gave it to Calzaghe.
11: Calzaghe
12: ROy, because JOe didn't do anything, and Roy was able to land more.

I think in general Calzaghe dominated his rounds that he won more than Roy, but his arrogance cost him a lot of rounds on my score card. i think when people see this fight 5-10 years down the road they will see it more clearly.
Also for the people who say Calzaghe, has a great chin, when Roy JOnes couldn't stop his last 3 opponents? Glen Johnson walked through way harder punches from Roy, and beat him worse.

People keep on saying Calzaghe humiliated Roy the way Roy used to humiliate guys, but I saw Roy land a lot of punches when Calzaghe was show boating. Not to mention Roy made Joe look silly quite a few times with his hands down.

Anyone who didn't see this close in the first six rounds seriously needs to learn something about boxing.

Please that as more of a fan of the purist aspect of the sport, some of those early rounds could go to Joe very easily, but I gave them to Roy for clean effective punching, however every single round in the first half was competitive and thats what I am getting at.
