    Great action though. Seems a very close one from the footage shown, with Calzaghe winning the first round and perhaps losing the last, though the 2nd round is not shown. You can see a lot of what he would become in him already. And what a mullet!

    Was in the european junior championships in prague against Adrian Opreda. He was 17 and had to wear a headguard. To this day he doesnt wear headguards for sparring and the like.

    He did wear a headguard, unfortunately it was not tight enough and kept coming down over his eyes. Opreda was clever stepping on Joe`s right foot just giving him little taps but they all score.
    3 judges were thrown out of those championships as they were notorious for handing down dubious decisions.

    LOL....the committee died :deal Everyone loved the idea in theory, but most weren't as keen on doing the rankings every month. Pity too...

    You know, I didn't even know about this, since I don't go to the lounge. So it was a scam huh....well, there went $35. I didn't do it for Tee Shirts, I thought it was for ESB.

    Either way, welcome back. He was the only Mod in on this though right?

    Apparantley, I always hated that ****ing **** way back to 2005. It's a fitting realisation, honestly. I don't think any lounge dweller really liked him, he contributed nothing and abused his little moderation gig constantly.
