Joe Calzaghe Dumps Frank Warren, Targets Roy Jones Jr.

[-Swizzy-]

The first couple of rounds are always "feeling out" rounds, and it's not uncommon for a flash KD to occur when a guy is surprised by a punch that got there quicker than he expected.

flash kd's and flash ko's are roy's specialty.

I'm not saying Roy doesn't have a chance to win, he does, but in my opinion a slim one, and then only if he plays it perfectly from the starting bell. He'll have to let it ALL hang out in the first 3 rounds and go for broke. If the fight goes long, he's **** on a shingle. Alternatively, he could play it safe, keep his work rate down throughout so he can make it to the last bell on his feet, and take a chance on the scorecards (miniscule chance there), ending the fight with all his dignity and his senses intact, and able to pick up his last paycheck without the need to make that mandatory trip to the ER first.

Personally, I think Roy will play it safe. I truly believe he stopped worrying about flashy KO's and legacy after he was KO'd by Glencoffe Johnson. He's in it for the paycheck, primarily, and this one, she'll be a doozey. Wish I were standing in his shoes. In fact, if they'd pay me even a small fraction of that money, I'd lose down to 175 and let Calzaghe beat on me for 12 rounds myself. Twice....naked, painted red, or whatever....just gimme the money.

Fair play to Joe for leaving Frank the wank

you're..................

Lol!!!!!!!

[The Legacy]

Surprising that this has happened so late in his career. But I don't think it matters too much, Joe seems to be set on fighting Roy Jones and no one is going to change his mind.

This is a good Exit bout for both fighters.
