Roy Jones will beat Joe Calzaghe !!

Yep.

 

I have the same feeling and its going to be sweet when it happens.

 

OK

now fall off.

 

I also believe Roy wins..the only shot Joe has is to knock Jones out and I do not see Calzaghe pulling that off and even at 39 RJ is still faster than JC..Jones wins a unamious decision over the man who's been immatating him for years.

 

I agree but I think Joe gets Knocked the FUC out!

 

I think you mean the only shot Roy has is to knock Joe out, just thought i'd correct that typo.

Okay im joking (to a degree), but to say the only shot Joe has is a KO, is completely ****ing stupid. Joe has 10 times the workrate and will likely slap Roys arse around a fair bit, Jones chance at a win is to land the more effective punches (which is likely) but at a somewhat impressive workrate, which is unlikely (Bhop failed to do it, and Roy has failed to do it anytime recently).

 

I do not think Joe can slow Roy down yes JC has a high workrate but he does not have the power to back Jones up and I think Roy has enough pride that he will not let Joe beat him at his own game (showboating:yep hotdogging) which both fighters like to do,if Jones put toghether combos in this fight believe me Calzaghe workrate will fall off.

 

I think Joe is ****ed in this one, Jones gets KTFO against men coming to claim his ass with power, the glass chin is at risk against a puncher but against the fragile fists of Slap he is still faster than Calzag and will outpoint him in a snoozefest.

 

I really don't see this as going out on a limb at all.

 

I can't stand either guy, so I think that this is about as objective as it can be. I think if Jones has as much left in the tank as it looked like against Trinidad, then he surprisingly wins around 8 rounds to 4. If Hopkins sneaky right hand was getting to Calzaghe then Jones most certainly will and he will more than likely have the stamina to actually throw it more than twice a round like Hopkins did.

Bernard gave Roy a great gift in fighting Calzaghe first and putting together somewhat of a blueprint for Jones to beat Calzaghe. The biggest problem I see for Roy is if he does his safety first style of boxing, then he probably loses due to lack of punches thrown. Bernard was able to land from time to time against Joe because he wasn't worried about getting hit. I don't know if the same can be said about Roy.

 

If jones chins makes it through the 12th, then this fights results fall on how the judges see it, an i say this fight with all bernards bitching might have the judges siding with jones,,,,I think calzaghe really got to show up to get UD or SD,,,a round that can go either way or even some that will favor joe, i see the judges giving it to jones,,,

 

The problem is Joe doesn't need to slow Roy down, age has done that (workrate not speed, he is still quick enough). Against Trinidad he was throwing too many singular shots and no 2+ punch combos.

Also Joe doesn't really need to back Roy up he can score without moving fowards.

IMO Roy's work rate will be the key factor in how the fight goes and from recent performances that isn't a great sign.
