I wouldn't be surprised if Calzaghe sparks Roy inside a round

I'll take a ban bet on it, he's not even going to win.

I'll take a ban bet on that second half of your comment.

I admit I'm more relying on Roy's deterioration than Calzaghe's recent performances, and his power is seriously declining.

I said after Ajamu that Roy shouldn't be fighting any more though. I think people are going to be surprised at just how far he's declined.

He is definately a shell of his former self. Having said that Joe just doesn't have the necessary snap in his punches anymore to achieve an early stoppage. If the stoppage comes, which I doubt it will, it will be due to Calzaghe's workrate overwhelming Roy in the 10-12 rounds.

Danc, I tend to agree overall. But, like I say in the thread, I wouldn't be surprised if...

It's like when Danny Williams fought Tyson. I had a tenner (c. $20) on that because he was 10-1. I'd calculated his odds at 2.5-1 against. Tyson was old. So although I watched the fight not expecting him to win, when he did I wasn't surprised...
