Anyone else thinks that Calzaghe was pulling his punches at the end???

I thought he was gonna KO Jones too, but he too got weaker as the fight went on. Two older guys just means you're gonna get soft rounds in the later half of the fight. Joe could have completely sent Roy into the canvas, but as the crowd got silent, joe and roy both kind of shut down.

I don't think either had enough energy to finish strong.

Joe said he hurt his left hand in the 8th round.

I was wondering why he was so aggressive up until the 8th, and didn't seem to try to stop him after that.

That makes sense I didn't see a ahrd left after the 8th or 9th round most were just pitty pats with the lefts but he kept ripping the right to the body all night....Lefty

He definitely didnt go for the KO when he had the opportunity. Put it that way.

as he said himself after the fight, he didnt want to make a mistake and get caught with something ******

Someone said to me yesterday do you think they had a gentlemans agreement that they wouldnt knock each other out in the fight and I said dont talk bollox but I watched again in the afternoon and i think that they could be on to something.

Roy seemed to totally lay off Joe after the knockdown and didnt go in for the kill at all.

When Joe had Roy on the ropes, Roy was blowing out of his arse but Joe didnt go in for the kill.

I think these 2 shook hands before hand and agreed not to knock each other out so that whoever lost could continue on with there career.

Despite what anyone says these 2 fighters havehuge respect for each other and both were gentleman outside the ring and they both played up to the crowd at some point during the fight.

Watch the fight again and tell me that something hasnt been agreed before this fight, what do you think????
