WORTH The HEADACHE 2Mora Tho

Crazy how Joe went down in round one just liek the Hopkins fight.

I scored it 117-111 to Joe, he dominated with loads of fast punches.

Reckon he will have rematch with Hopkins in Wales then retire.

Solid fight by Joe, well played pal.
Just a shame that you couldn't press rewind and have this fight 5 years ago, would have been a blinder.
Roy you are a legend.

AFC
C'mon

Good fight but like quartz would've loved to have seen this fight happen a couple years earlier. Both terrific fighters with a ton of class

Thought it was a brilliant fight. Joe dominated after round 1 and i had him winning by 4 rounds. Cannot believe the fight wasn't stopped though, Jones's cut was proper nasty, same in the zab judah fight on the undercard, refs and doctors didnt have a clue (which is very dangerous in boxing).

WELL DONE JOE.

Those cuts were really bad but on Judah's wasn't too bad throughout the fight, don't think it slowed him down at all. Jones' cut on the other hand was a bad cut that I think affected his fighting, wouldn't have really mattered but they should've stopped the fight.

Yeah in anything other than a championship fight it would have been stopped after the 10th.

In their prime Roy Jones would have destroyed him.
But Calzaghe was better all night even though imo Roy Jones jr is still the better boxer but he is not fit enough to finish a fight anymore. He knocked Calzaghe out in the first round but could not finish the fight. He is finished imo.

Roy Jones in his prime versus Joe Calzaghe in his prime?

Jones would have won a two round points win over Joe Calzaghe in my opinion.
