Me too... But Joe has hurt his hands in the past, so it could be legit. But then again there is the Frank BS and there could just be a lot of **** going on, Who knows. Nothing new for either one, im sure. So i'm not TOO concerned, but i just hope everything works out and BOTH are 100% focused and ready! like I said i don't want any excuses from either one. i just want a good fight.... Honestly I don't really care where the fight is. I don't think the Location would bother Jones. If anything it would motivate him. I give Joe credit, he did his thing in the States VS B-HOP... I wont get into that fight, but i will say he barley made it by the seat of his pants so maybe its just a guaranteed victory to him if it were to take place in his home land.. who knows....Comment

Good post man...To bag a win over Kostya Tzsyu let alone Jose Luis Castillo is discusting!! Kostya was the undisputed Champion of the world for **** sakes!!! He could easily come back and beat Hatton now...even at like 38-39 whatever he is now...maybe even make Zab Judah do that funny ass chicken dance ****!!!!!Comment

Injured Calzaghe calls off Jones fight
LONDON (AP)—Joe Calzaghe postponed his proposed September fight against Roy Jones Jr. because of a sprained right wrist.
Jones accepted the delay, telling The Associated Press on Tuesday that he wants the Welshman to be at his best when they finally fight.
The 36-year-old Calzaghe, who is unbeaten in 45 professional fights during a 15-year career, injured his hand Sunday in training for the Sept. 20 bout while punching pads.
Calzaghe, who relinquished his WBC super-middleweight title to fight Jones, is “absolutely distraught,” according to his father and trainer Enzo.
“He sprained his wrists on the pads,” Enzo Calzaghe told Setanta Sports News. “It’s one of those things you never want to happen, but it’s happened.
Enzo said his son needs two or three weeks off before he starts punching again.
Calzaghe planned to see a hand specialist and the light-heavyweight fight is expected to be rescheduled for later in the year, possibly in November.
“Well, sounds like he has a normal but usual injury and he had showed concern before about his hand not being ready,” Jones said in e-mailed comments to the AP. “I don’t want him to be no less than his best so if this what it takes for that, then so be it.”
Calzaghe’s lawyer Gareth Williams said he would seek a venue for the bout, and planned to speak to HBO officials about scheduling a date.Last edited by Left2body; 07-22-2008, 05:06 PM.Comment
