johnmichael-bricCalzaghe Destroys Aging Jones Jr
November 11th 2008 23:50
For the second time this year Joe Calzaghe rose from a first round knockdown to beat a contemporary boxing legend. Only this time, instead of a close split decision, there was no doubt as Calzaghe won a comprehensive 12-round unanimous decision against Roy Jones Jr. in the main arena of Madison Square Garden in New York City. In front of over 14,000 in attendance, most of which seemed to be rooting for Calzaghe, the light heavyweight champion won by three scores of 118-109, losing only the opening frame on all three cards. Fightnews produced the same score. It was a dominant performance by Calzaghe and one that could be his last, if he sticks to his pre-fight promise to retire. Jones, meanwhile, put up a game effort, but at 39 years old, had clearly seen better days.
