Calzaghe-Jones is "a done deal" for September 20th at MSG

John Wirt of Square Ring told Dan Rafael.

 

Upset of the year!artie:

 

why the fuck is it on US soil??

don't they fucking learn??

You can fill up easily a 60,000 stadium in England :bangh:

 

Yeah, but pay per view sales in the States would be far better if it's in the U.S.

 

Fightnews is suggestng Julio Diaz-Sugar Ray Narh could be on the undercard in an IBF title eliminator.

That and a possible Dmitriy Salita bout make this a can't miss fight card.

 

jones probably wouldnt agree to go overseas....

 

He was begging to after Calzaghe-Hopkins.

But there's probably a lot more tv money to be made here. The British will probably find a way to watch this fight wherever it's held, it's the Americans they need to buy this.

 

Here is a serious question. Have you ever seen Salita fight?

 

Another question. Have you ever heard of sarcasm?

I'm trying to do it deadpan here, man, give me a break.

Diaz-Narh ain't exactly high on my list of fights I'm dying to see, either.

My birthday is in September and I will get me a sweet ass birthday present when Roy KO's Calzaghe in 9 rounds. Damn this is has been a huge year in boxing. I'll Holla 5000

 

calzaghe's patience has paid off. he will get wins on his resumé over the legends of his era and probably make more money from the fights than if he had pushed for them when they were actually juicy and meaningful.

 

Heres to praying that old man Roy can pull off the unlikely.ray:

WAR RJ!

 

No flying pig?

 

Roy will get stopped in this fight, it will not be competitive.

 

Calzaghe cherry picked this fight, and called Pavlik 'unworthy' like a true Fraud does, it seems to me that something obviously scared him about the way Pavlik crushed his stable mate,.. Pavlik went from being "the only man I would move back down to supermiddleweight for".. to a victim of a Fraud Mayweather type of hissy-fit, "Who's Pavlik?"...... I would love shot Roy, to pull off the upset, and take a whopping great piss on Calzaghe's legacy,... the pressure is really on for cherry picking of this nature, if he wins, .......who gives a fuck quite simply, everyone knows Roy is a shell of himself,.. it's all for Calzaghe to loooooooooooooose and his soft strikes do give Jones half a chance :crafty:.

 

Calzaghe deserves zero credit for winning this, even if it's by first round KO

 

calzaghe will win easily but Jones lands a couple of god-looking left hooks which will lead his nuthggers to proclaim how prime Jones would have streched Calzaghe in three rounds

 

there is simply no doubt that Roy is going to destroy the welsh jelly bum

 

Can't wait. I might be a hater, but I never had an opportunity to watch Roy live, and this could be my last chance.

I heard about this two nights ago. Apparently, the fight was going nowhere with Warren and King involved, and as soon as they were out of the picture, they were easily able to negotiate the fight.

 

I really want RJ to win. :bears:

 

This is half true.

if Calzaghe fought Jones ten years ago or five years ago there wouldn't have been enough of him left to fight Hopkins.

If Calzaghe fought Hopkins in 2002 or 2003 there wouldn't be anything left of him to fight this version of Jones.

Under each scenario, Calzaghe only gets one not both.

Even with that said, his "win" over Hopkins wasn't lauded or highly thought of back in England. It was a stinker of a fight and while he "won" he didn't win much in terms of good will. Most (accurately) see it as a matter of how faded Hopkins was.

 

The same goes for 5 years ago.

I forget who Calzaghe beat, but I recall him calling out Roy at 168 and Roy hadn't fought at 168 since 1996 or so. This was on the undercard of Tyson's fight with Schultz I believe.

 

Tysn never fought Schultz

 

You know the guy I'm talking about. Can't remember his name. One of Tyson's comeback fights. Brian Nielsen...that's the guy. Calzaghe fought Will McIntyre.

 

i think in my mind jones would not only beat calfaggi but would ko him

 

you are a wise man Brother Qwerty

 

i agree - in reality i see this as a lose-lose fight for calzaghe... best case scenario is a one-punch KO in round 1 to top Milk-Dud's win and even then - its against a roy jones WAY past his best

the only way calzaghe comes out better is if he dominates from bell to bell and ko's roy in the middle to late rounds
