I give respect

[THE REED]

to Joe Calzaghe... Its was a good win.

Basically after the fight was done, I realized that I over-estimated what I thought Roy still had left... Anyone whose watched Roy in his prime, can unbiasly say... that wasn't the same Roy in the ring. I got the feeling that he got pumped after the knockdown, and then won the 2nd round... the 3rd and 4th rounds seemed competitive maybe, i leaned towards Joe in those... and by round 5, I started to see a glaze in Roys eyes like... he realized he wasn't gonna be able to fight at this pace for 12 rounds...

BUT! I give Joe Calzaghe credit regardless because of one thing.... after 45 fights, he didn't get complacent... he stayed motivated and focused, and no matter what Roy Jones showed up that night, he was coming to win regardless, and you have to respect that...

I think Roy might have one last farewell fight in Pensacola.. he always said his last fight would be in Pensacola where he started it out...

So in short, We'll miss you Roy You've still accomplished some GREAT things in your career and your a first ballot hall of famer, and still my fav fighter no matta what! You showed heart!

Good job Joe! Ill be honest, even though I knew Roy was done half way through the fight, I still found more respect for Joe, because he came to fight and he came to win. He's 46-0 and almost 37, so good job. Your a sure hall of famer as well...


Lets put it this way... Roy didn't end his career on a loss to Prince Badi or Anthony Hanshaw... he closed it at almost 40, and against one of the best fighters there is today... On top of that he showed heart... so I'm cool with it...

Good fight everybody... If you don't mind Im going to pay everyone tomorrow.. I gata get some stuff done around the house

Good fight everybody... If you don't mind Im going to pay everyone tomorrow.. I gata go hang myself.

Fixed it for ya.

Fixed it for ya.

nah, i mentally prepared for this in the back of my head... I realized he COULD also show up old and just get ouworked like crazy... so when I saw it, it was unfortunate... but that it was a likely scenario

[Truth]

Roy was trying to be the old Roy Jones. Roy dropped his hands and tried to avoid Joe's punches like he would in his prime, but he couldn't. The saddest part for me was when roy told coach merk i'm trying but i just can't get this guy(or something of that nature). I was looking at Roy and the blood flowing down his face, and I realized how much times have changed. The old Roy Jones never got cut, the old Roy Jones never felt he couldn't get at a fighter.

[Chunk..]

Fixed it for ya.

It necked half a bottle of Southern Comfort this morning! It's hard to take.

There really were no losers in this fight in my eyes

even though u guys dont admit it, you all got way to confident after he beat Tito at 170 who hasnt fought in 3 almost 4 years

i said if jones wins more then 2-3 rounds he should be happy,

[Dorian]

I think Jones should retire it was sad to see him get beat like that, hes had a great career and he is one of the greatest fighters of all time

there will never be another roy jones
