Gamblers Advisory Picks RJJ over Calzaghe
Collapse

I'm sorry,but here I can't put money-real money-on Jones Jnr.
What made Jones great was his incredible footwork and powerful and accurate counterpunches ,thrown with blinding handspeed.In addition,he hardly got tagged by his opponents .Also he had a decent chin and rarely got hurt when hit cleanly. If this fight was made seven years ago, I can see Jones winning by stoppage in the middle rounds.
However,boiling down back to light-heavy after the Ruiz fight,Roy really lost the athletic attributes to execute his usual game.He never had the pure boxing ability to stand dead in front of a fighter ,blocking and parrying punches,while firing punches back.With his weakened chin, he proved himself unable to defend the sustained and determined attacks of Tarver and Johnson.
I go back to the Glen Johnson fight.Johnson,at least in the his fight with Jones, and Calzaghe are similar, to the extent that they throw lots of leather.Calzaghe is 36,but a well preserved 36;he has never been out of condition.Roy is nearing 40 and is not getting any better.Calzaghe also has superior boxing skill.He will manage to find the openings to land his punches.He will be throwing a lot of leather, with sufficient power that cumulatively they will hurt and wear down Jones.
I see this as being either a decision or a late stoppage for Calzaghe.The New York judges might come into play,but I believe they reward aggression and Joe will be the aggressor.Last edited by Arka; 09-25-2008, 05:26 AM.Comment

Yeah gamblers advisory seems like a biased nutt-hugger, he didn't even explain how and an old 43 year old hopkins is suppose to get passed pavlik. All he said was that Hopkins beat antonio tarver so Hopkins can beat pavlik?
The **** does beating tarver have anything to do with fighting pavlik?Comment

Even though I have Roy handily for this fight, there's no way anyone can say the safe money bet is Jones. That's bad ********.
And I'll honestly be shocked if Bhop can pull off any more wins. He looked better than Cal in their fight imo, but he still gassed like I've never seen. I don't think a man can roll back the clock twice, because that's the only way he beats Pavlik.Comment
