Calzaghe versus Jones on Saturday, any views?

I hope Joe can do himself proud and retire undefeated but it's a tough old game that boxing.

I would have been more interested if this had come together a few years ago, now, just all about self preservation and money.
Just cannot get really excited about it.
Hope JC wins of course.

JC should win this and then retire undefeated.

Famous last words and all that though..

If only this fight would have happened 8 years ago. Joe will probably win. Jones Jnr, only beat another shot figther in Tito. If this did happen a few years ago, Jones Jnr, would have won pretty easy. It's a shame Joe, waited till people were past their best, before he fought them.

I'm sure it's just normal Setanta - they've been advertising all day and I've not seen a price mentioned.

I'm having an early night and setting the alarm

Roy Jones Jr is a very quick fighter, and might go hell for leather in the first few rounds, if Calzaghe can stay in it, i'd imagine from R5 onwards he'll start commanding the fight and i can see him knocking him out in the later rounds, maybe 10.

Had a small punt on Jones at 5/2 - seems too big a price to me - was reading one of the papers today, where they asked guys like Lennox Lewis, Ricky Hatton, De La Hoya, Hopkins etc, who would win, and the vote was 4 to 3 in favour of Jones Jnr - what the experts say contradicts the bookies prices.

Just a small punt mind, as in a way, i kind of hope i'm totally wrong!

Cheers

Was Michael Buffer trying to say Llanelli then?

Valiant effort but ultimately poor, must try harder.
