    undercard starts at 8:30 tonight. pay per view.

    I don't know about you guys but I can't wait for this one. jones has resurrected his career since the ko losses to tarver and glen johnson. he has lost a step, but has found out that he actually can mix it up when need be. his defeat of felix trinidad was masterful, even against a fighter past his pride.

    calzaghe is squared in his prime. and coming off of a 10 yr string of title defenses. his lacy defeat has been his crowning achievement, imo, even moreso than his defeat of bernard hopkins. b-hop's an alltime great but starts horridly and relies too much on his counterattack. joe outpointed b-hop due to bad strategy, imo.

    should these two engage early tonight, look out! joe's handspeed is incredible but not necessarily powerful. roy may find that he can eat a few slaps to deliver a bomb. watch for straight right leads from roy while joe tries to bunnyhop, jab, and dart in/out til roy tires, then go for the kill.

    could be one hell of a fight.

    Prediction: roy by tko in 9

    Already posted but yeah I'm also looking forward to see how this one plays out. I'd like to see Jones win, but my gut tells me that Calzaghe will win a decision.

    I considered ordering the PPV, but I just dropped $60 on the Pavlik fight a few weeks ago so I'm not feeling it. I'll download the torrent right after it's over.
