Hahahaha!! I love your enthusiasm for the 80's.. I am 32 and let me tell you that to me is the best decade hands down... less the fashion of course

[JT Rock]

So Im figuring on a new crow recipe... how does Thai Crow with lemon Grass and bamboo shoots sound.. Or how about a health grilled crow with dirty rice and a mango salsa?

Any way Kudo's to Joe and his fans, I tricked myself to think that Roy would let it hang out with his wang out, he managed to unzip his trunks and still try to do something, but the wang never hanged... I got disheartened when I realized that Roy couldnt pull the trigger anymore, and I got squemish as I watched Joe drop his hands and put his face thru Jones guard, when even the biggest Calzage fanboy can admit Roy a few years ago could have and would have knocked his head into press row..

Besides the cut I wasnt buying into Roy was getting a beat down, his legs still looked decent he was never buckled and Joe was hitting the guard mostly, it was just painful to see Roy get pittered but hey thats the way it goes..

My support of Roy was not an indictment on Joe and his greatness, were I became a staunch supporter of his after Kessler and realized his greatness and current standing I believe he is PFP#1 but as well as historically.. You always have o stick by your fighter through the thick and thin and agonize when they lose, its the curse of the loyal fan..

I will have the same trouble next week with Jeff Lacy I am loyal to a fault with my fighters regardless of there performance and I know i will probably get my heart broken with Jeff too since he hasnt looked real good of late

Same as Holyfield, against Toney was one of the hardest fights I ever watched since I love both fighters, but Holy is my all time favorite and seeing James dissect him like that made me numb..

Congrats Joe and his fans you were right about everything in the matchup how the fight would unfold etc

Be gracious and dignified in victory

Class post JT.Roy fought like a champion and displayed a huge heart.Calzaghe made the most of his opportunity and controlled the show.Respect to both.I hope Roy calls it a career,it was hard to watch as he was reduced to looking for one right at a time,walking into stuff and loading up, gaining a "Moral" victory. No donuts this AM,but some quality powdered Beignets and coffee with chicory

Appreciate it, Thanks for the offering. Im currently brewing up some pumpkin spice coffee, since its the time of the year but also have some hazelnut as well as a variety of teas.. Help yourself, the half/half is on the table as well as sugar or splenda. I put another log in the stove the others should be arriving soon

Rewatch # 2.That KD was rough,Joe was really shook up in the 1st.I think it was key point when he came right back on Roy though.Never realized how far apart Calzaghes legs can be inspots also.Losses alot of his left effectivness

Also the Ref.I had my doubts during the rbr or Sticky thread but he was invisable,did a good job.

Seems to be alot of confident backers for this fight as well as intelligent and unintelligent outspoken fans, which is great..

I have a long standing tradition after big fights, that I predicted right.. I really dont gloat and if I was wrong I ALWAYS am gracious and admit I was wrong and give full credit to the fighter if he wins..

I challenge you to do the same since some you guys are pretty denigrating toward Jones, so lets meet in here Sunday and have a coffee and intelligent conversation regardless of who wins? What do you say?

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.

not to mention you like to think back at special and magical moment is sports where the impossible is done, I though Jones could have provided that for us...

Also am I the only irate one over Augustus getting the shaft, I mean WTF!!!! he won 5-6 rounds of that fight... Almost felt like the scorecards were made out before the fight even started... I hope he atleast gets a few more cracks, even tho the judges boned him promoters and fans see the value of his entertaining performance

[WelshDevilRob]

I really enjoyed the fight and the nerves were there too. Certainly edge of your seat stuff in the 1st few rounds.
Calzaghe went down hard in the 1st and I honestly thought that was the end of him. Replays showed it was a combiantion of a punch and a forearm (accidental). Either way Joe had to drag himself up.

I thought Roy started the showboating and then Calzaghe just outdid him. No harm in it as they both have been known to do it.
Some superb heavy shots in the fight by Roy while Joe landed alot more and landed nice shots to the body.

The fight for Joe was already in the bag for Joe by the time of the cut in the 7th which was horrendous. Full credit to Roy for not quiting or giving up even though he must have sensed he was a beaten fighter.
Joe fought a superb fight tactically and picked his punches well combining them with the flurries when needed.

Now Please retire Joe - I can't take anymore. (Roy should get out aswell after a great final last stand from a Legend)

I predicted a Joe Ko 6 - called it wrong though the cut could have caused a stoppage - glad it didn't.

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

Did you call it rubbish before it took place ICB ,just asking?The writing was on the wall.I think Roy was seeing things but his reflexes were dimmed.He said as much in between one of the rounds.I think Roy's instinct were there but reflex was not.

Its hard as shite watching an all time fav getting bested.You can almost live vicariously through fighters as a big fan and when they fall,it effects ya.Ive said before,when Holyfield was flattened face first in the 3rd Bowe fight....after having Bowe stunned badly and not being able to pull the trigger for finish....man I stopped following the sport for a good 7-9 months.This may sound twisted but I gained a new measure of repect for Roy last night.Jones did not choose to lose,Calzaghe Took it.

[Fenster]

I bet you Roy guys nearly spunked your pants when Calzaghe went over
