OK just watched the fight

[Memphis]

I thought the fight for a while was a real spectical. Round three I think where they both finished hands down swinging and slipping, magic.

Jones was unlucking in the respect that Calzaghe gets ten seconds to recover from a knockdown, he needs a fraction of that time. Against others Jones might have been on the verge of something spectacular.

Jones was also fortunate that Calzaghe cant clump anymore, if he could it would have been another bad KO loss for Jones.

I started to feel sad watching it towards the end, Jones was getting hit at will, badly cut (what the fuck were they doing) and I wanted it stopped. Thankfully I think Joe also decided at about the same time as Jones did that it was going the distance. Jones just wanted to finish the fight and Joe I think was happy to oblige.

Great night, great event, great fighters.

It did seem a good spectacle for 5 rounds, everyone at the pub was excited and it seemed to go in the way of a classic fight. We thought Joe was showboating early to kind of show the judges that he was comfortable in there, worried that Jones might be stealing the rounds with his showboating. But it became apparent by the 6th that he was actually almost in contempt, and looked a bit daft doing it.

Did anyone notice the extra 10-15 seconds during the fight??I think it was round 8.I seen the clock in the background outside the ring count down to zero and their were still fighting for a extra 10-15!!Did anyone notice it?

[Fenster]

I don't think Calzaghe's showboating was excessive at all. Some of it came after he was caught with a solid shot, he was basically showing "you can't hurt me" after the first round blip.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Anyone complaining about Joe's showboating but thinks nothing of Roy spending an entire career doing it is a hypocrite.

Having said that - i felt sad for Roy too. Maybe in a funny way the cut SAVED him from getting stopped. I'm glad he finished the fight in the end.

Yes it looks like you only have to land punches on gloves and arms now to score points and count as punches landed.

Be fair bud ... what about straight lefts that bust an eye wide open ... maybe they score too

Give it a rest, its getting boring now.

Joe landed loads of punches, Roy can accept that, why cant others?

[Youngblood]

Joe won, fair and square and in a dominating way. Not what us Roy fans wanted to see, but it is what it is.
