I know boxing styles and I know that Jones has the proper style to give Joe the worst look of his life. He is the perfect counter to what Joe does well. Joe does not come forward with bullying power shots like Johnson , he moves and side slaps hooks and lunges, etc... That will spell dissaster when he is in with someone with superior reflexes and speed , combined with punching power at that weight. Hopkins has no LHW power, or else he would have KO'd Joe and Tarver with those straight right hands. They were both landed about as square as possible. Jones on the other hand is known for his crisp power shots and can clip Joe with his speed without Joe knowing what happened. I honestly don't know why Joe took this fight. It's trouble. The Calzaghe fans will hate me after that fight is over. It will end in either a KO for Jones, or a decent decision after a not so competative fight from Joe. Calzaghe will be hurt at one point, I know it. The question is whether he will make it out on his feet. I have no doubt that Joe will not be able to hurt Rjj with those type of arm punches. The punches that Jones was hurt with were stepped into with Tarver and Johnsons whole bodies. I don't think Joe is capable of that type of punch at LHW. Please see my blog and post a prediction on the fight.
nice way of putting it. Your points on the fight are EXACTLY the way I see it.... same page bro, same page....
