Jones Jnr Claims 20th September date with Calzaghe

I have a bad feeling about this fight for Calzaghe, I know RJJ is shot now but I have a sneaky feeling he is going to pull this off!
I know Joe didnt look too good against Hopkins, no one does I know but I think he gets too carried away sometimes and i'm not sure if fighting in Vegas will be good for him, all the razzmattaz and stars got to him I think he was way to complacent against Hopkins..to casual.

 

Nope I just think Hopkins surprised a lot of people, including Joe himself. Hopkins doesn't get anywhere near enough credit on this boards.

Rather than having "sneaky feelings" just use logic. Logic tells us Joe will win a clear UD against Jones.

 

hopefuly jones knocks joe out

 

Well my 'feeling' or logic was that Calzaghe was going to win on points against Hopkins, not much of a suprise there but in my opinion he could have fought more effectively if he was more focused but thats my opinion.

Again, my feeling is that RJJ wont be as bad as some people are making out on ths board and using my own logic that I think Calzaghe gets too easily distracted ie he wants to put on a show I think RJJ will do well.

Nothing is cast in stone especially in boxing.

 

I don't think Joes focus was a factor at all. Hopkins is a truly great fighter whether you like his style or not. Even at 43 he was able to make the fight more than competitive. It all depends on how you rate the two fighters I guess.

As for Jones, he will lose a clear UD. He hasn't the workrate or the confidence to beat Calzaghe now. 5 years ago would have been a completely different story though.

 

Jones will get knocked out.

 

How do you get a 'near arse-kicking' :?

You either get it kicked or you don't. He didn't, not even close. Not unless you count hugs as scoring shots.

 

WTF is a 'near arse-kicking'?

 

yeah not much of an arse kicking when you get hit by about 5 punches over 36 minutes.

i'll looove it if Jones knocks Calzaghe out, shatters his record and then we hear Enzo lamenting the choice of dead squid.

 

Both are an easy matchup but I'd rather Joe beat Pavlik. He's going on a senoirs tour like the Golden boy suits do.:twisted:

Even shaky chinned Dawson would be better.

 

His corner were going mad because they were in Vegas and were worried about being jobbed and they nearly did.....how anyone can score that fight for Hopkins is beyond me. All this "controlled the pace" BS, unless you are Willie Pep you've actually got throw and connect punches to win rounds.

 

I'm not a Calzaghe fan but I saw it like Gaz. I don't see how it can be scored for Hopkins......and surely it's normal for a corner to be saying all that 'you're behind, you need this round' stuff in a close one to motivate their man. You see that all the time.
Hopkins landed about 5 punches and 375 hugs.

 

Maybe we should have seniors circuit for these guys like Calzaghe, RJJ, Hopkins, Fenech and Nelson to fight on. It really is getting ridiculous now.

 

So you get knocked down in a boxing match, where people throw punches, and you got your ass kicked? So Marquez got his ass kicked by Pacquiao did he?

He landed a few shots in the early going, yet still totalled about 15 for the entire fight. He did nothing after a few rounds, and whichever way you scored it it could be in no way deemed an ass kicking

I'd say faking a low blow is showing signs of being rattled and desperate rather than showboating

What a clown atsch

 

The "Pep thing" is a myth, I was being sarcastic. Calzaghes corner just wanted him to seal the deal against the home boxer who also happens to work for the promotors, I didn't think the fight was even close yet one judge managed to give it to Hopkins, so maybe JCs corner were right?? To say if Hopkins could have fought the second half of the fight like first half then he would have won is pointless, he didn't because he couldn't.

I don't see what Pavlik, Woods etc has to do with this though.....
