Why Calzaghe Will Have a Hard Night!

Good Analysis except for the fact that Roy isn't the harder puncher in this fight...Joe's power is very underrated and Roy will respect that. Roy is long in the tooth and hasn't displayed the kind of power in recent fights that he once had.

Roy's best chance in winning this fight is to mimic Sugar Ray leonard's performance in the Marvin Hagler fight by using lateral movement and fast flurries to steal rounds. If he tries to tangle with Calzaghe, he will pay dearly.

I see Calzaghe boxing him and moving in and out with the jab effectively for 4 rounds. After round four, I think Joe will be the better conditioned and stronger fighter stopping RJ with a TKO.

Calzaghe by TKO in the 7th

 

Joe isn't eay to hit as such but has poor head movement and is open to fast straight right hand counters as he comes in. Hopkins, Kessler, Bika, Reid all found homes for this shot flush on Joe's chin

I like the analysis, and it is correct except for the fact Jones stamina is shot to pieces and he likes to lay on the ropes and let his opponent pound on him, working at most for 30seconds a round

 

I agree with your prediction, but RJJ with 2 broken wrists and cushions over his hands still hits harder than Joe Calzaghe.

 

As soon as you open up punching, he comes back at you with a couple of his own. Yeah, Jones will hit him flush, but not as precisely or effectively as Bhops. I don't think Jones' timing and speed are good enough to tag Calzaghe in time after time, whilst keeping him just out of range with his footwork and ring-generalship. I expect a close fight, but I also expect Calzaghe to get the better of him.

 

i don't get the obsession with certain calzaghe fans completely over-****ing-hyping his punching power. who cares? seriously, punching power isn't the be all and end all. if anything it's a credit to the bloke that he's managed to reach the levels he has with spazzy hands and below average power.

 

Great analysis.
Lets hope that Calzaghe actually gets some props if he wins a good fight
