Calzaghe looked sharp, Roy looked tired and talked of losing too much!

    The second episode of 24 / 7 Calzaghe - Jones was excellent. Much better than the first.

    Joe looked hungry, sharp and fresh in scenes they showed. He was very focused on winning.

    Roy looked tired and drawn. Most revealing was all his talk of "losing and dying". Very troubling. The guy is going in with a mind set of a loser.

    Roy may get badly KO'd on Saturday. He will certainly lose!

    I'll be more interested in how he looks on fight night as opposed to this reality television show.

    I think roy is using those losses as motivation and not going in thinking he is going to lose. This fight will clearly stamp his legacy in boxing so i think for a guy like roy who has a lot of pride he is going to come in very motivated.

    24/7 also made Hatton look like an animal and Mayweather look like a goof ball. Whatever happened in that fight; did the "animal" kill the goofball???

    I agree. Fight night is the acid test. The snippets from the show can be revealing.

    Remember Joe always shows up and wins.

    I get the SAME exact impression after having seen both episodes of 24/7.

    Calzaghe looks hungry, determined, and FOCUSED!

    RJJ, quite literally, appears as if he's lost his ****ing mind!

    Seriously (and I'm not saying this to be a jerk or out of hate or anything--I dislike Jones and Calzaghe equally), I think Jones is seriously losing it.

    His wits aren't all there. I seriously wonder whether those two brutal KO's had a greater affect on him than we yet realize.

    IMO, Jones' only chance is early stoppage.

    He DOES have the mindset of a loser (something I believe has dominated his mindset since Tarver knocked him the **** out).

    I have no doubt Calzaghe will win this one.

    I've spent WEEKS looking for reasons Joe can win.

    This is the best one so far.

    I haven't seen this episode yet, but hope to sometime later today. Can't wait until the fight.

    I favor Calzaghe in this fight as well. If I were a betting man my money would be on JC. I am hoping against hope however, that Roy Jones Jr. has one more trick in his bag and can pull off the upset. I may be moved to tears if this happens.

    As for getting "badly KO'd", who's the last guy that got badly KO'd by Joe Calzaghe. He may very well slap him into submission but don't count on seeing a Lewis/Rahman replay.

    I favor Calazaghe but that tv show means nothing.

    I believe he meant the fact that Rumsfeld is choosing Calzaghe, moron.

    Joe does have 32 KOs in 45 wins. Has dropped iron chinned fighters like Bryon Mitchell, Chris Eubank, etc.

    With Jones shot chin, a bad KO is very possible.

    Jones looked listless and subdued before the Trinidad fight, and he showed up invigorated and fresh come fight night.

    I think Jones will be on good form come fight night, however it might not be enough as I remember just again what a force he is up against in Joe Calzaghe.
