    Calzaghe by stoppage or points. I think Roy's legs are gone. Still perhaps he can turn the clock back one last time.

    Calzaghe by stoppage around the 8th. Jones may have his moments, but he is well past it now.

    On another note, Liverpool are beating Chelsea at the bridge. :happy

    Liverpool blow. Anyway, I'd love to see one last great performance from Roy, can't see it happening though. Joe will be too busy for him. One good thing is I won't have to pay for it...free to air in Indonesia.

    Calzaghe dominates Jones the same way Holmes dominated Ali, and for the same reasons.

    if the 'old' roy emerges, he'll bash joe. but if OLD roy turns up, he may get bashed himself...

    if roy has finally got over his massive weight loss from heavy to light heavy (his downfall) he may show some old spark...

    but at this point, i'll go joe, by ko..!

    Roy is washed up.
    Everyone wants to believe that he can wind back the clock, and it'd be magic to see it. But it simply wont happen.

    Roy may show flashes of brilliance, and trouble Calzaghe with his speed at times, but he cannot sustain his brilliance for a long enough time to win this fight, or to win more than a few rounds.

    Calzaghe has faded a little bit too, but his style doesn't age as badly as Roy's, plus he can absorb some punishment.

    I actually for some reason want to see Roy win..not sure why I was never the biggest Roy fan, though I certainly at times was in awe of his abilities.

    But Joe takes this, Roy is far to past his best and Joe is only just past it.

    they have tv monitors hanging above railway platforms so the public can watch the fights....

    an aussie promotor, prepared to take a risk, would do very well promoting 'international' fights in jakarta....

    I don't think they are big fight fans, but they (as do China) get that kinda stuff for free on tv.

    I heard China got the Lewis/Tyson fight for free. Usually when I watch fights online through livestreams, theyre in Chinese.

    Sadly, I haven't seen one bit of footage for boxing on tb here in Japan. I'll have to watch this one through the net, if not, tekes non bias round by round will have to suffice.
