Classic Forum picks: Calzaghe vs Jones Jr...

Jones put up a good fight especially in the first half I thought,he still has the hand speed and his quick right is still dangerous but he has to fight in spurts now.Calzaghe got caught with punches he didnt need to ,but I think he was trying to get Jones to open up. Joe looked better than he did against Hopkins I thought,but then no one looks good against Bernard.It would be a good fight for both men to go out on .

 

I wouldn't post there is I were you. I popped in yesterday to give a few idiots some ****, mind. :good

 

It always is to me mate. A good contest if far more important than who's the winner. I mean, I always want home fighters to do well but not if i'm gonna watch stinkers from them, I'd rather not bother.

 

I did not see the Clazaghe vs Jones fight yet, but I do remember you had Hopkins ahead of Clazaghe via wide margin....and that was a head scratcher.

Most people seem to think Clazaghe defeated Jones via large margin. 10-2 or 9-3.

 

Most people have an idea what they're talking about. :good

 

The compubox stats are especially laughable this time (same as they were in Calzaghe-Hopkins). The TV guys had a very hard time finding good clean punches landed by Calzaghe for their between-the-rounds and post-fight replays, other than what he landed to the body. About 90% of the punches the Compubox blind mice counted for "landed" did so on Jones' gloves, unable to penetrate his defense. Same situation with jabs, where Calzaghe tried to outjab Jones, but missed pretty much everything.

 

British Boxrec forum had 40% of posters scoring BHOPS-JC to Hopkins and thats a knowledgable forum and obviously not Anti-British

 

What did some non-British forums score it? Here's your chance to really put up a figure that favours Hopkins :good

 

How many by a seven round margin? (or whatever yours was, something ridiculous anyway).

 

Most of your posts concering Jones are even more laughable.

Look...

 

Try recalling five clean punches to the head Calzaghe landed, without rewatching the fight. Not counting punches to the back of the head, that is. The TV replayed one shot barely landing on Jones' nose (his head didn't even jerk backwards from it), and the punch that cut his eye. That's all they found what to show.

 

Even if Jones' teeth had flown out you wouldn't notice it and say it was TV trickey bias against your beloved Roy. Maybe Joe didn't land as many as they say (I don't know what they said anyway), all's I know he won by a fair margin. Or do you think he lost?

 

Hopkins-Calzaghe was a horrible messy excuse for a fight, and I thought it could have gone either way. Hopkins gave up fighting after a few rounds, and Calzaghe didn't land a meaningful blow all night. Both guys deserved to lose.

Calzaghe-Jones was much better. And Calzaghe won it clearly and impressively.

 

You scored it for Jones then?

 

I think Jones head could fly into Sen's lap at ringside and he'd call it partially blocked or rolled with.
