Could Calzaghe have lost a point or been DQ for his dubious showboating?

    I hear that. Didn't bother me, just because Jones was in control of that fight.

    If anything, I think some of his antics were a bit unnecessary in the third fight against Tarver. Although when he was clicking in the 5th round, it was like a brief visit to the past.

    Yep. A point deduction there would have been a horrible call given how close the fight was.

    Showboating should never be penalised. End of the day, theres 2 fighters in there and if one fighter is too mentally weak to be bother by it or unable to hurt the guy enough to make him pay for showboating, then tough.
