The Lightheavyweight title match between Roy Jones Vs. Calzaghe took place last night and for the 1st two round Roy Jones looked like he turned back the hands of time.  Jones in the 1st round even put Calzaghe down.  But Calzaghe was able to clear his head and put his hands all over Jones.  And in the 7th round with a right hand opened up Jones eye the doctors at serveral times of the fight was ask to look at the gashed eye.  But Jones was a trooper he tried but Calazghe was just a better fighter.  Jones who is about to be 40 years old just didn’t have it and couldn’t keep up with Calzaghe.  Who now has a record of 46-0 with 32 Ko’s. 

“This year I just beat two legends, with Hopkins and Jones, and I came to the United States to do it,” Calzaghe said. “I took the risk. They didn’t come to me. I took the risk.”

Now what is next Calzaghe? Retirement has been the word that is coming out of his camp this was his last fight.  But one has to wonder will he give Bernard Hopkins a rematch since Hopkins look so good against Kelly Palvick?  As for Roy Jones for a decade you was the best in the world.  Now it’s time to say goodbye.  Please Roy let it go and become part for the boxing sport in another fashion, trainer, promoter or even a boxing play by play guy.
