Rewatched Jones vs Calzaghe

Harold Lederman?!!?! Please. I wouldn't let him score a dog show. Jones got a 10-8 in the 1st, so for Calzaghe to be up by round 6 means he had taken control.

Jones may have in touch numerically, but that only tells half the story. Calzaghe was leaning his head into Jones smiling with no guard, showing utter disdain and disrespect for his power. Calzaghe was well in control at all times from round two onward. He and most other knowledgable boxing viewers knew Jones would gas, knew Calzaghe had a few gears to kick it up if need be, knew that the result was never in any doubt.

 

I guess this is a sad attempt to justify and enhance Calzaghe's victory over Jones?

Go to 6:40 , a see what your guys lover boy says about Roy Jones before the fight was signed

 

another dumb american who only sees jones` shots,i bet you are one of the people who think hopkins beat him too .
calzaghe beat hopkins and calzaghe beat jones fair and square end of ,so get over it.

ok i just watched the fight again and though i agree numerically he was in the fight joe had already taken control and started to force a tempo only he was comfortable with. Jones just couldnt get off or pull the trigger like he could in his prime and though, as i expected there would be, there were the odd flashes of brilliance (beautiful uppercut in round 6) calzaghe was well in control and was controlling the ring.
I noticed that jones was having the odd success inside with short hooks and uppercuts he should have tried to get inside more as outside joe was pumping out his jab well forcing jones to the ropes and setting up his shoeshine flurries.

 

why call into question the agenda of an american when your welsh and have obviously never even considered taking off the calzaghe tinted goggles

 

Dreamworld again.

The difference between Hopkins and Jones is that Hopkins isn't shot, Jones is. In the past few years Hopkins has lost razor-thin decisions to Taylor and Calzaghe, and beaten great fighters like Tarver, Wright and Pavlik. In the past few years Jones has been sparked by decent fighters like Tarver and Johnson, and has beaten only sub-standard opposition like Prince Nobody, Hanshaw and a rusty fat old shot version of Trinidad.

Jones would still not have even made the fight close if he hadn't been cut. What exactly is it that the cut did to him in your opinion?

-Did it affect his stamina?
-Punch power?
-Workrate?

Because these are the things that have been letting him down since 2004 and these are the things that let him down against Calzaghe. I don't see how a cut eye was more important than these factors.

RJJ has showed lack of stamina and workrate since 2004. On account of this, of course he was going to look better in the first half of the fight with Calzaghe than the second half. Don't be naive enough to confuse this with a cut eye somehow changing a fight that Calzaghe had already taken control of anyway.

 

Don't even waste your breath mate, that guy is a notorious braindead troll and well-known Calzaghe cumguzzler.

 

Are you seriously trying to compare Tarver, Taylor, Wright and Pavlik with Prince Nobody, Anthony Hanshaw, and that version of Tito Trinidad? You're being silly now.

You are right about Jones - maybe being KO'd did affect him. I agree, I think it did. But doesn't that prove my point more than yours - that Jones is now shot (mentally as well as physically), and that he didn't have the mental or physical edge to stop Calzaghe nor the stamina/workrate to outpoint him?

A cut may have affected his gameplan, but it did not affect his stamina, his power, his workrate, or any of the physical attributes which Jones no longer has nor has had for a few years, and it was these things which let him down v Calzaghe.

You are entitled to your opinion, but you are fighting a losing battle here mate.

 

i am from wales and have watched the fight ,i do not like calzaghe as a person ,i personally think he is a dick,but i respect his fighting abilities and get fed up with haters slagging the guy and saying he is crap when he is clearly the best boxer from mw to lhw.
ps dinamita your a dick:nut

I don't have anything constructive to say on this thread, but this post did stick out as it's relatively rare that someone contradicts themself in the space of consecutive sentences. Is Tarver great, or merely decent? Which one is it?
