Calzaghe vs Jones scores

[ICB]

115 - 113 Roy Jones Junior.

I think he meant to say 120 - 107 to Roy jones jr

No Roy Jones had 2 10-8 rounds when he landed that ripping uppercut. 120-106 sounds about right.

[RozzySean]

I gave 1,2, and 12 for Jones. I thought 11 was pretty even, maybe a Jones rounds.

I was sitting so close I practically got blood on me, and I'll tell you, most of Calzaghe's shots were blocked. It was the until Jones got cut, Roy was landing the better shots but getting out worked. Once Jones got cut, Calzaghe pretty much had his way with him until he stopped fighting and starting clowning all the time in the 11th and 12th. I was sitting surrounded by fans from the UK, including the guy I came with, and they were pulling for Jones to knock him on on his ass for fighting like an ass in those last two rounds.

[C-Lo]

I think i gave Roy 3 rounds to Calzaghe's 9.

As much as it suprised me, i was that guy too!

Were has Roys lil' leaping left hook's from the outside gone?

first time i watched it i give the 2nd and 12th to roy, the first should of been a 10-10 round. Calzaghe won it outright till he got caught with a forearm and put down, even then he got up and landed the better shots right form the off...

Second time i watched it i rounds 2-11 all to calzaghe, 12th was close, by that point you could see calzaghe didn't give a shit.

Well Calzaghe must have given a bit of a shit because he asked his dad if he had won before he went out for the 12th.

No Roy Jones had 2 10-8 rounds when he landed that ripping uppercut. 120-106 sounds about right.

That uppercut did nothing but land, it had no effect.

On the slow motion replay, it really did land with some force but when you watch it in real time, Joe took it and threw right back like nothing had happened.

There was a round late on when Joe landed a right jab and Roy just stopped dead in his tracks and put the earmuffs on and Joe stood back then went for the body!!??

I was thinking that Jones was gone then, Joe should have really noticed that, I mean a jab!! Roy did just shut up shop, Joe should have thrown everything at him.

There were a few times in the fight where Joe could have or should have gone for the kill.

Imagine being in Roys boots that night, you drop Joe in the first, then hes got you backed up to the ropes landing shots, you land quite a few nice shots on him but you still have to cover up and cower on the ropes because hes walked through them, he even lets you take free shots on him and he just shakes his asss at you

If Roy were made to ask truthfully im sure hed say Joe would at least be a handfull for him in his heyday, im sure Roy didnt take this just for a payday because im not sure this would have made a ton anyway, with Roys ego, im pretty sure he thought he stood a good chance of winning but with Joe able to totally embarrass him and do as he likes the entire fight after all Roys training and rehabilitation, I think hes pretty dumbfounded and may be questioning his whole career now.

Ok, he had the excuse the weight loss hurt him for the second Tarver fight and he took the Johnson fight too soon after, he still wan rounds in those fights but to lose to Joe in that manner after preparing the best he could

Joe is only a few years younger, (not the 8 that Kessler was to Joe), so roy (and his fans) knows he cant use the age difference as much as hed like.

Roy will now be wondering whether Joe could have done that all along

I think he could have, Roy has always put the earmuffs on under pressure but has relied on opponents slowing down or having breaks, Joe of ten years ago wouldnt have stopped for a breath, the guy can also take a good shot and ten years ago was getting stoppage wins because his hands were fresher, Roy doesnt hold any aces over a young Calzaghe, other than the steroids advantage

First off Ross i was clearly being sarcastic with that comment, so i don't know why you even bothered to reply. Secondly age difference means nothing in boxing and you sound ignorant trying to say it does aswell.

Take Riddick Bowe for example he was a shot fighter at 28, just because fighter A is almost the same age as fighter B. Means nothing you have to take into account RJJ moving up in down in weight, Joe Calzaghe has never had to do that.

And its clearly took alot out of RJJ, and if you think it hasn't watch his comeback fights then watch a prime RJJ. Its two totally different fighters. And the KO Losses have effected him mentally aswell, which is why he won't pull the trigger anymore.

Who else could have beaten Roy so easily, waving their face between his guard?

Joe absolutely piissed all over him, didnt just win, it holds a bearing in what might have happened in their primes, there was no point where Roy looked to be having success at all.

Like ive said as well, Joe wouldnt have fought as sloppy against a prime Jones, he would have got down to business like he did against Kessler.

Chad Dawson could have

[ross]

No way, Dawson tires like an old woman and backs off, he would allow Roy to get off.

[Drago]

I didnt score the fight myself, but was surprised with the score card, i thought joe easily won, but what in roys backyard getting that scorecard, was surprised thats all i am saying

[killersheep]

I had Jones winning round 1 with the knockdown as 10-8 (Jones)
I had Jones landing the cleaner punches in round 2 as 10-9 (Jones, close round though)
Calzaghe took round 12 off so 10-9 (Jones)

Rounds 3-11 were all 10-9 Calzaghe (arguments could be made to have some as 10-8 )

116 - 111 Calzaghe, could have just as easily been 117 - 110 if the second round went to Calzaghe as well.

Aside from the second round I think it was one of the easiest fights of the year to score.

The steroid thing was a one off it was something in a suppliment he was taking both him and Hall was positive of it he was never found positive before this fight or after

[Tysonbruno]

This is a paragraph from a Calzaghe interview in the boxing news a week before Calzaghe fought Jones regarding fighting him now or in the 1990's early 2000's and why now is better. No way! we're being paid loads more money! if i'd fought him 10 years ago i would've ended up with rubbish money and would have had a much better chance of getting beaten because he was so much better then anyway! do you think im mad or what?!
