    It looked even better in slow-mo!

    Showboating was fine, both fighters were doing it. If Roy was the one beating Calzaghe then he would have done the same. Also, it's clear Calzaghe respects Jones a lot so i don't think it's fair to say he was being unsportsmanlike.

      You're not wrong... end of the sixth though I think?

      Great shot. I love the way he rolls into it - beautiful.

      Have to say I'm a big fan of both fighters. Props to Roy for not whingeing and taking the way out that the cut so obviously presented to him.

        Kellerman's nuthuggery of Roy is all the more evidence that they should fire him, and use the money they were paying him to give Larry Merchant a raise.

          Kellerman was annoying all show to me, I missed Merchant.

          And that was a beautiful uppercut, I envisioned Jones landing that uppercut a couple of weeks ago, except it sent Calzaghe down in my vision.

              Yeah, I don't have much time for Kellerman.

              Steward is spot on a lot of the time, I like him.

              Lampley is alright but just occasionally gets carried away and says something a bit daft.

              Merchant is a legend slooooowest....... questions............ eveeeer....

                    Lederman had it 117-110 for Calzaghe. He gave the last ten rounds to Joe.

                      Steward had some weird quotes sometimes too, but he's alright most of the time.

                      Lampley gets hilarious when he gets over the top. "SAVE YOURSELF, GO DOWN, THINK OF YOUR LIFE!"

                      Merchant has that weird giggle he does sometimes at the end of a sentence when he's the only one who gets the joke. Definitely a legend though.
