    Bad.

    First 4 rounds were compelling. Then it was can't-look-away-car-crash-tv.

    Did Jones give an interview? If so, what did he say?

    Well, punishment wise reasonably bad. Jones got a nasty cut over his eye and was bleeding everywhere. He was hurt once but not badly and Calzaghe didn't really try to finish.

    On a competetive basis he was beaten horribly. 10 rounds to 2 with Jones taking the first 2 and not a single round after with a knockdown for Jones in the first with the forearm.

    It looked particularly bad because Calzaghe goaded him, showboated and kept his arms down all the time.

    Where did you go to, a town with no TV, radios or internet?

    That Calzaghe's pitty pat punches are harder than he thought. Calzaghe deserved to win. That he just couldn't work Calzaghe out.

    Yeah, he did. I remember it being very short.

    But I was to drunk and miserable to take any of it in, sorry.

    Calzaghe showboated Roy Jones? While I'm not for showboating, pay back must have been a ***** for Roy Jones Jr. Roy did plenty of showboating in the past.

    NOPE! I was in the hills of PA for a marriage. While there was TV, there was no internet, and I really did not get a time to watch much of anything.

    It was fun to watch Jones get a dose of his own medicine.

    bad.

    Roy dropped Joe with a forearm to the skull in the first round. Some feel Roy won the second round.

    It was all downhill from there (although I think I gave Roy the 8th because Joe took much of the round off).
