        I'm going all out and predicting a Calzaghe stoppage.

        Hardly a brutal KO or any kind of a KO for that matter, but a truly shattered Roys Jones getting stopped late-on.

          When it comes down to it, there is alot of things that "they say" the English are as well. Green teeth, stinky, and so on. But I choose to be the judge of that myself and not listen to the naiveness. Not being too "thick", asuming that means thick headed or something like that. I'm glad you arent too thick after getting clobbered in the head all those years.

            Well, in fairness, I chose Pavlik to beat B-hop as well. These old timers have something left, I gaurantee it. No stoppage, I promise ya that at least.

              I'm banking on Roy being kind of shot If I'm honest.

              He didn't really seem on it, when he done the interviews over here. He's charming and affable but he looks old and sounds old.

              If Roy turns the clock as far back as Hopkins did against Pavlik he wins hands down.

                That's def the popular opinion, and I can understand that. But, and there is a but. Styles make fights and Jones is gona be a problem for Calzaghe. It would be different if Jones was slower and not as sharp as he is without the footwork, but he's still fast handed and has not lost too much accuracy. His legs and workrate have suffered and will hurt him for sure, but if he can overcome that, we will be in for a great night of boxing. I give both guys a ton of credit for this fight. Jones is more dangerous to Joe than anyone else he can fight at this time and likewise can be said about Calzaghe for Jones.

                    Roy by decision. Just have a feeling. And as I've said many times in the past, its not just because i'm a fan. I picked Calzaghe over Hopkins and Nard is my 2nd favorite boxer all time. I just have a feeling.

                      Nearly 48% for Jones, over 17% by KO?

                      Wow.
