Jones showed up just for a paycheck!

[Silencers]

So when u have a man standing right in front of you with his hands down, do u punch, or continue to cover up and do nothing just as Jones did? Even the HBO staff comented on how Jones wasnt doing anything while Calzaghe was standing right in front of him with his hands at his side.

That's a classic sign of age catching up to a fighter, the inability to pull the trigger and Calzaghe was doing a good job of moving his head to slip punches when Jones did try anything significant.

[deevel79]

he just wont let his hands go with any significant effort.
a guy at his age can still throw combinations.

are people saying he cannot put one arm forward, followed by the other arm ?

im from the uk and i still thought jones would get the knockout, which looked likely after he knocked joe down in the first round, and lets not compare this to the hopkins knockdown, joe was hurt bad this time and jones didnt do ****.

he chooses not to, its not a physical thing, its a mental thing and i can only believe its cause he doesnt want to get stopped, more than his desire to actually win.
still, if jones had opened up more id doubt calzaghe would of clowned around so much.

EXACTLY! Thank u my friend!

Tonight, Jones looked a lot like Pavlik looked against Hopkins, and Lacy did against Calzaghe.

He tried his best, he was simply outclassed.

He was shot and old . 3 years i"ve been saying that. THREE YEARS.

Jones fought as best as he could at this point.

Agreed

Jones in his heart thought he was going to win the fight, already in the second round I could tell he couldn't pull the trigger. The later rounds were reminiscent of Ali vs Holmes, sad way to go out for a fighter who before May 5 2004 was untouchable.

Great win for Joe by the way, he did what he had to do and looked amazing at times.

[Mud]

Theres not 1 person here who can honestly say that Jones fought as if he wanted to win. Calzaghe ***ing clowned him! He stood in front of Jones with his hands down to taunt him. It was as if Calzaghe was like "u cant do ****, here's my chin" Jones was an embarrasement tonight for us Americans.

Jones gave everything he had. You should respect him as an American.

Did Hopkins and Kessler manage to hit Calzaghe that much more than Jones?

Yeah, I think Jones sincerely thought he could win the fight but he just couldn't do it.

[El Jesus]

Yeah, I think Jones sincerely thought he could win the fight but he just couldn't do it.

that was the worst part about it, imagine cotto punching with no authority, mayweathers defense being broken repeatedly, pacman having no killer instinct.

all of these things could one day happen. honestly, seeing fighters fight out of their prime is one of the hardest things to watch in any sport, because they are taking a beating.

It was for me too, I hate seeing old or shot fighters fight, it's just sad to see.

Your crazy. Don't mistake Roy not "being able to pull the trigger" for him not fighting to win.

He gave everything he had left in this fight and I'm extremely proud of Roy.
