Joe "the Super Joe" Calzaghe wins over Roy Jones Jr

I may think Joe Calzaghe is one of the under estimated boxers today... And or Roy Jones Jr is and over rated old guy.
I have started viewing the fight at round 6 to round 12.
And here is how I have scored the fight.
As I heard the commentators say: We got 3 dead even rounds for each fighter!

Round 6
Joe coming forward as Roy tries to counter Joe's massive attacks. It was a close to call round, but, I think Joe Calzaghe won this round by his number of punches landed.
Calzaghe 10-9

Round 7
Roy is still waiting for the opportunity to land a one big punch. But a left straight from Calzaghe landed clearly on Roy's eye brow. Roy has a earned a cut on his left eye brow. A 2 inch cut is severely bleeding. Calzaghe poured punches trying to finish Roy as the bell rang. Jones is still standing.
Calzaghe 10-9

Round 8
"Joe leading comfortably after six rounds," says the Observer's Kevin Mitchell at ringside. "Five rounds to one, through sheer volume of punches, after coming through nasty first-round knockdown, which he dropped 10-8. Pace relentless. Calzaghe super confident and Jones bemused by number and quality of Joe's combinations." That's the ringside view. Meanwhile Jones has been shaken by that cut. He looks a mess with blood gushing from his eye. Calzaghe is like a predator playing with his injured prey. Jones can't see and Calzaghe continues to pound him with a relentless stream of shots. Jones Jr bats him off with an uppercut but Calzaghe forces Jones to cling on until the bell. The doctor has got much work to do to clean Jones Jr's cut up so he can continue.
Calzaghe 10-9

Round 9
There's a delay as Jones Jr's cut is worked on. A repl,ay from the last round shows a left hand from Calzaghe tearing across the cut. It's enough to make me wince never mind Jones. The American dances around and manages to limit the damage in the early exchanges in this round. Calzaghe seems content to hold off and wait for an opportunity to connect. He goads Jones - somewhat disrespectfully I feel - by sticking his chin out at the bloodied Jones, who thankfully gives Calzaghe a jab to the mush. Calzaghe has it on points now and only has to see this one home. Jones has to do something special through one eye.
Calzaghe 10-9

Round 10
Joe comes out throwing a couple of body shots. Roy lands a decent uppercut in the corner to get himself back to the center of the ring. Jones backing Calzaghe up again and Joe counters to the body. Roy with a weak 1-2, head and body. Joe looks wide open but Roy can't land to the chin, unbelievable. Roy with a straight right, left hook, hook was blocked. Calzaghe double and triples the jab then goes into 4-punch hook straight combo. Roy lands a good right to the chest, Calzaghe ends with a weak slow flurry.
Calzaghe 10-9

Round 11
Roy leads with a triple jab that wasn't meant to land. Joe lands a good jab to the chin. Calzaghe backing Roy up once again with pressure. Roy making a stand in the center of the ring and pushin himself forward and starting to back up Calzaghe but still not landing much. Calzaghe with a little triple jab to the body, all landing. Calzaghe showboats as he feels Royisn't doing anything. Roy lands a hard right that snaps Joe's head back but not hurting him at all. Calzaghe with a good right uppercut from too far away, but it still lands. Calzaghe slowing down from his own work rate. Roy can't figure him out and can't land.
Calzaghe 10-9


Round 12
Touch gloves, Roy with newfound respect puts his hands on Joe's shoulders. Roy looking aggressive in his stance , Joe circling away. Joe throws a good jab and Roy misses a straight right. Roy throws a huge knockout right that hits air as Calzaghe ducks. Calzaghe posturing, getting low and bob and weaving. Roy to the ropes and Calzaghe blasts the body. Roy throwing nothing at the moment. There's a standing ovation as these two legends of boxing, who may never fight again, touch gloves for the final round. It's been a gruelling fight and a great spectacle. Calzaghe crouches low and invites Jones onto him. With his trademark lunge Jones almost dizzies Calzaghe with a crashing right which just grazes his ear. Calzaghe skips on the spot to prove how much he has left, but in my opinion he should try to down Jones with his energy instead. Like a bloodied warrior Jones has one final lunge at Calzaghe which misses and as the bell sounds the two fighters embrace.
Calzaghe 10-9

Roy Jones Jr vs Joe Calzaghe - PREDICTIONS

Roy only had problems with fighters that can hurt him. He tends to be too concern gettin hit with power punches of REAL PUNCHERS making Roy's output less. But I think Calzaghe is not a power puncher and Jones will enter the ring full of confidence (unlike when he fought Antonio Tarver).
Good round 3-4 for Roy Jones and then a victory for Roy on round 5 via KO/TKO...

I just smell

Other Prediction on Calzaghe - Jones by Fighters/ Boxers and Sports Writers

Bernard Hopkins- Former two-division world champion - Jones W 12
"Jones by unanimous decision based on his speed and power."

Ricky Hatton- IBO & Ring Magazine junior welterweight world champion
"Roy has seen better days and I think that Joe will be too fast for Roy. Joe will outbox Roy and win by points. I'm going with Joe."

Lennox Lewis- Former heavyweight champion
"Jones has unbelievable speed and Calzaghe's never fought anyone like him. Jones likes it when his opponent comes to him and unfortunately for Calzaghe, that's exactly what he does; comes to his opponent and is right in their face. I pick Jones on points, but I think it'll be a very close fight."

Oscar De La Hoya- Olympic gold medalist and 10-time world champion
"Calzaghe will beat Jones by a unanimous decision. Joe is going to close the door on Roy's boxing career."

Manny Pacquiao- Ring Magazine pound-for-pound champion
"Calzaghe by decision. Joe is hungrier and a little younger."

Shane Mosley- Former lightweight, welterweight and junior middleweight champion of the world
"Roy has trouble with southpaws and Calzaghe is a great southpaw. Roy is a fighter that is always on his toes and I think that when Hopkins fought Calzaghe, and was moving a lot, it gave Joe a lot of problems. I think Roy can do the same thing. I think he can cause problems for Joe with his speed. I'm not really sure on Roy right now. I have to lean towards Joe on this one. You can't count Roy out, but I think Joe will get Roy with a lot of combinations and out point him. Roy back in the day would have destroyed Joe, but now Joe will outpoint him with a lot of activity and win the fight."

Paulie Malignaggi- Former IBF junior welterweight champion.
"It's a hard fight to pick. I thought Calzaghe at first because, but maybe he's too much for Roy right now. But based on what Joe just said about the three Brits beating the three Americans (Calzaghe-Jones, Hatton-Malignaggi, Haye-Barrett), I'm pulling Roy home.....Jones by decision."

WRITERS: Chris Mannix- Sports Illustrated - Calzaghe W 12
"Jones has done an incredible job resurrecting his career, but he hasn't faced a fighter of Calzaghe's caliber (sorry, Anthony Hanshaw fans) since he was slapped around by Antonio Tarver three years ago. Slapping may be the only thing the light hitting Calzaghe will do to Jones, but his superior hand speed will be more than enough to score a unanimous decision."

John Falgoust- USA Today - Calzaghe TKO Late
"Calzaghe in late stoppage. Usually counter punchers like Antonio Tarver, Eric Harding and Montell Griffin give Roy Jones trouble. Not aggressors. But this isn't the same Roy Jones. Calzaghe's work rate alone should do the trick here. Make Jones fight three minutes of every round and don't allow him to rest on the ropes or clown to kill the clock. It'll open up Calzaghe to get caught in between his flurries, such as when Bernard Hopkins dropped him with a counterpunch, but fortunately for him Jones isn't a finisher."

Dan Rafael- ESPN.com - Jones W 12
"Although Calzaghe is the favorite, I think Jones' style and speed -- he's still fast -- are going to give him problems. I think it will be a tough, close fight but I'm going with the upset special. I like Jones to pull it out on a close decision."

Kevin Iole- Yahoo.com - Calzaghe W 12
"Calzaghe will win in 12 rounds. If this fight had happened five years ago, it would be a different story. But Jones is a shell of the fighter he used to be and Calzaghe is simply too busy for Jones now. I expect Calzaghe to outwork Jones and pull out a clear decision."

Tim Smith- New York Daily News - Jones W 12
"Roy Jones has good power and I think that will offset the volume of punches that Calzaghe throws. Calzaghe has a good chin so I don't see him getting knocked out. I like Jones in a decision."

Alan Hubbard- Independent on Sunday - Calzaghe W 12
"Calazghe should scrape a narrow points verdict, possibly another spilt decision, a la Bernard Hopkins, in an untidy fight. Jones may no longer have the residual firepower to hurt or harass him but Calzaghe has surely been distracted by the legal wrangling following his split from long-time UK promoter Frank Warren and the concerns of co-promoting this fight. He has struggled to repeat punch-perfect form he attained against Jeff Lacy, but is wily and resilient enough to keep Jones at a southpaw arm's length. He is already established as Britain's most enduring post world war champion and victory over Jones would cement his deserved claim to be the outstanding British fighter of the modern era."

Bobby Cassidy- Newsday - Jones TKO 11
"I like Roy Jones in the 11th round TKO. Calzaghe does not have the power to keep Jones honest. I think by the second half of the fight Jones will be picking him a part. Calzaghe looked so good against Hopkins because Hopkins didn't have the firepower to slow him down. But Jones has both speed and power. In other fights, Calzaghe has been able to adjust to one of those assets; he won't be able to adjust to both, especially from a fighter like Jones."

I still say its got to be a round 5 victory for Roy Jones Jr via TKO/KO!
