Gamblers Advisory Picks RJJ over Calzaghe

[WESS]

[QUOTE=-GBGQ-;4104241]

Like I have been saying MANY times. Joe Calzaghe's power (or lack there of) will have no effect on glass jaw Jones.

Yeah, Glen Johnson doesn't exactly have major knockout power and we know what happened with that.

Calzaghe can hurt Roy. Just the facts of life.

So fighting Glen right after being KO'ed by Tarver so soon had no effect? Like I have been saying Jones will NOT (not) be punch shy by Joe Calzaghe's power (or lack of) beleieve it. Jones was scared of Tarver and just punch shy in the fight with Glen because he was fighting too soon. FACT.

Like I said Joe Calzaghe will present no such power to have Jones scared like he was with Tarver and Glen. Truth.....

Can glass hands break a glass jaw??????????

Go ahead, I'll wait.......

Theres only two fighters in the ring, its not hard to be right in this sport. gamblers advisory brags about there picks when there right, but are they ******? It's like anyone can choose a fighter to win, the odds are good that your fighter will win when theres only two fighters in the ****ing ring.

settle down, son.

settle down, son.

Roy Jones the BUM yanky hypejob avoided me like the plague. I would've exposed his glass chin sooner than it was.

Here is how I feel about this fight: American fight fans are in denial about two things, 1) Calzaghe's ability and 2) Jones' ability.

Lets get this straight, Roy Jones has not looked good for six years. His fights with Amju, Hanshaw and Trinidad do not represent some sort of rennaissance, he looked bad in all of them. In the one that most seem to feel indicates improvement, Trinidad, Jones looked frail, old and washed up. He and Felix literally stood in front of each other exchanging blows like two sacks of sand. The praise Roy attracts for this fight seems to add up to, "Roy was able to actually throw some punches, and he seems to have worked out what a guard is for." Wow. He's a boxer, that really is some achievement.

Now Calzaghe: all I ever hear from Calzaghe's critics is that he can't punch. The fact he possesses one of the most complete and varied games in boxing today is completely ignored. Counterpunching masterclass againt Lacy? Never happened. Comprehensive display of offensive and defensive boxing skills against Kessler? Deleted from history. Nope, Joe is an ineffective slapper who is wide open to counters, look at what Hopkins did to him! Fine up to a point, Joe didn't look great against Hopkins, but still massive chunks of what Calzaghe did are being ignored. For someone who is 'wide open' he sure doesn't actually get hit that many times per fight, does he? And of course we must never admit that Calzaghe placed Hopkins under constant and relentless pressure from the beginning to the end of the fight, meaning Hopkins had little option but to clinch or face a never ending rain of 'windmill slaps'. No siree, we mustn't admit that.

The point is this: talk up Roy Jones attributes as much as you want, and ignore Calzaghe's if you like, but do so at your peril. In reality Joe Calzaghe possesses virtually every advantage imaginable over Roy jones in this fight and pretending he doesn't won't make that harsh truth go away.

It's a well thought out statement. Utterly wrong, but well thought out. Roy doesn't have the gas tank to take a decision over Calzaghe. He was right when he said Joe will start swinging some time that morning and won't quit until the next day, and however skilled Roy is, he won't be able to land enough to keep up on the scorecards by midrounds. Calzaghe may not put that many heavy shots on Roy (or he might...he claims this will be his final fight, he may want to go out with a "****", as it were), but if he's outlanding Roy by 3/1 he won't have to. We all know Roy is going to lay back and try to do nothing but counter, and this will be what costs him the fight. I keep saying that his only chance at a win is an early KO (and Roy is capable of it, he just has to risk everything to do it...he has the speed, skill and power, and only needs some luck to go with it, and I figure he's overdue for a little luck), and I give him maybe a 15% chance of getting it. Not much, but worth the risk, in my opinion.

My biggest problem with the possibility of Roy taking it by decision is that, whether Calzaghe has ever faced anyone of Roy's calibre or not, Roy really hasn't either. Yeah, yeah, Toney and Hopkins, but they were what...14 or 15 years back? Roy is not that same fighter, and to be fair, both those guys were younger and less experienced then too.

Calzaghe brings alot more to this fight than most seem to think. Handspeed, angles, punch volume, accuracy, conditioning, selective power (he can **** when he chooses to), aggressiveness, willpower, an iron chin...I just don't think Roy has the gastank he'll need to make Joe miss like he can everyone else. Don't get me wrong, I think in many ways this will be Calzaghe's toughest fight, but by mid rounds the writing will be on the wall. And I really do think that if Calzaghe really pressed Roy hard for the first 8 rounds, kept him moving and wore him down further with some bodywork, he stands an excellant chance of a stoppage in the championship rounds.

Just my .02 worth....again.

[MELLY-MEL...]

gamblers advisory picked katsidiz and the under on that fight
they suck dont listen to them
plus hes biased cuz of the color of his skin

do us a favor man, and take that **** the **** outta here!

[SpArKeD-CoLd]

prett good advice

[The Hammer]

One of the most important factors in this fight will be the New York boxing judges.

Why do people forget Holyfield vs. Lewis I?

John Stewart, Julie Lederman, and several others will score rounds for Jones regardless of what actually happens, wait and see.

Didn't Calzaghe win in America

Calzaghe looked like **** during the Hopkins fight. Get in a ring for a while and you'll see that THAT was not an impressive performance. And cut it out with the lame ass American fight fan ****.

I'm American. Jones is shot. Calzaghe wins this. I said it from day one. Jones fans don't get it. And Calzaghe haters don't get it. Tunney is supposedly American, and he's picking Joe except for "New York/American corruption". Also there was a poll on this page (filled with Americans as so many posters have pointed out) Where Calzaghe was picked as the favorite as a landslide.
Just saying.

That said, I give him very little credit for this fight. I've also said that from day 1.Maybe Joe can pick on the corpse of Micheal Spinks for his next great big win.
