RETIRE, Roy.
Thanks for all the memories, but you’re shot.
JOE – Do NOT RETIRE…
Joe Calzaghe came off the floor in the 1st round from what looked like a forearm delivery in an NFL game. He got up to fight back and won every round thereafter. His hand speed was much too much for Jones who kept backing into a corner only making it easier for Calzaghe to connect. At 46-0 lets hope Joe has at least 1-4 more in him.
Roy Jones should have stayed retired several fights ago. A champion in his time, although never really convincing, he had a great run and only has more injuries to lok forward to and a less than intact brain. I do think Joe should keep to his game plan and retire, the undefeated and great champion he has been, looking intact and clear headed, and with enough in the bank forever, inspite of the stock market. He has nothing more to prove.
The only thing surprising about this is that 14,152 people showed up to watch the fight. I agree that Roy is shot, there was a time when he was the fighter with the blazing handspeed, I’m afraid age and catastrophic knock-outs have caught up with him. He should pack it in before he gets permanently hurt.
