first few verses of born in the usa....dead patriotic..... Born down in a dead man's town The first kick I took was when I hit the ground You end up like a dog that's been beat too much 'Til you spend half your life just covering up [chorus:] Born in the U.S.A. Born in the U.S.A. Born in the U.S.A. Born in the U.S.A. I got in a little hometown jam And so they put a rifle in my hands Sent me off to Vietnam To go and kill the yellow man like plug in says, i find it hilarious when yanks hear this song, thinking its a sort of anthem . even bruce hates ye ! :smooch
I'm pulling for Jones big time. Roy is still one of the biggest names in the sport and having him win is good for the sport. When Roy was on top he seemed content with facing fighters that weren't always deserving. Now that he's no longer in that position he seems a bit more urgent and is more likely to make the truly big fights. If he wins I would be surprised if he didn't make another big fight next. Simply put: A Roy Jones win is better for boxing than a Calzaghe win. But Calzaghe is still going to knock Roy out.
I want him to win. I really do. I want to see Roy-Hops II. I expect Hops to beat him. I expect Calzaghe to beat him too but I love to be wrong so that Roy-Hops II gets made.
I will be at Metallica/Down. I would almost rather watch the fight backstage with Phil Anselmo than see Metallica. Jones all the way.
