I am tired of people landing piece of crap punches just to score points aka Collazo against Berto, Calzaghe against Hopkins and Roy JOnes. IMO its not eye catching at all, and its a weak substitute for real boxing.
    And the same with Bradley against Holt. The funny thing is that when asked about it afterward, Roy's response was that the "pitty-pat" punches may have looked a lot like "pitty-pat," but they sure didn't feel like them. You should go back and check out his quote. You'd be surprised.

    That is just your opinion and you are entitled to it. Personally, I don't like the Holding-and-Hitting style. That's just me.
    I'm not saying Calzaghe wasn't throwing relatively hard punches, but the fact they were hitting him on the gloves should be credit to Roy's defense. Calzaghe sure didn't gain Hopkins' respect with his punches, and barely landed real punches against Bernard.
    We are talking about Roy Jones here. Of course he is going to have some defense. That said, Did you see his face after the fight? Bernard fought a tactical fight and although after the fight Bhop may not have respected Calzaghe's power, it is fair to say that he respected his ability. Bernard is a brilliant boxing tactician and Calzaghe outfoxed him, even if just barely. Even if you had the fight for Bhop or that it was very close, Calzaghe managed to make it his fight, which against Bhop is impressive.

    I thought this was a site for boxing fans? Two pages on a fight the day before two of the best around are set to head off in a bout that could be a crossroads fight for Winky and a turning point for WIlliams.

    What do you think Paul will do after the defeat?

    If Paul looses it won't be a crushing defeat,but a close decision...maybe they will do a rematch,but I think Williams will go on with his career like he did after his loss to Quintana...business as usual...
