I got him yesterday at +200. Now he is +180. You should be able to find better odds though.
Roy Jones will win this fight.

Re: F*ck college football, big fight tonight
I am not excited for this fight, and it's sad. I was way more excited for Pavlik vs. Hopkins and I thought that was a great fight.
I just don't think Roy Jones has it anymore. If he was still in his prime I'd be really excited, but I think he's done. I guess all the great ones have a great fight left in them though; look at Hopkins vs. Pavlik as an example.

Re: F*ck college football, big fight tonight
What do you think about the fight tonight?
I thought Pavlik was going to beat Hopkins, but the old man had a great fight left in him. I actually thought that may have been one of Hopkins three best fights of his career. He looked so much faster than he had looked. His hands were so quick it wasn't even fair.
I just wish Roy would have had some serious competition in his prime, because he was one of the best fundamental boxers I have ever seen.

Re: F*ck college football, big fight tonight
Played Roy by decision +475 knowing full well Calzage decision is the likely outcome.
Really tough fight to predict. Depends on what Roy has left, and that's virtually impossible to gauge. I tend to think Roy's hand speed will still pose problems for Zags and he'll have plenty of openings to land counters. But Roy's legs are gone and Calzaghe will be moving forward all night. I don't think Roy will respect Zags' power, which could/should allow Roy to take more chances than he's accustomed to. And he'll need to be active to compensate for the number of punches Calzaghe throws.

Anyone who saw the Margarito-Cotto fight knows boxing is far from dead. Fuck the heavyweight division; there are great fights regularly in the other divisions.

Re: F*ck college football, big fight tonight

Re: F*ck college football, big fight tonight
I also thought that Hopkins was washed up but he seemed to dedicated to being great in that fight. If RJJ is that same mentality, he could pull the upset.
The Pavlik vs Hopkins fight was one of the best I've ever seen, and that alone proved to me that boxing wasn't dead.

Re: F*ck college football, big fight tonight
I don't see a KO. I guess a late-round accumulation stoppage is possible, but even that's unlikely IMO. Calzaghe's not a big puncher, but more of a slapper who throws from all angles. I actually think if there's a stoppage, it could well be Roy catching Zags flush with a counter left hook. But I'd be surprised either way if this fight doesn't go the distance.
Re: F*ck college football, big fight tonight
Funny how every boxing thread turns into a boxing v. MMA debate. They're completely different sports.
The majority of boxing isn't even on PPV. But if you want to talk PPV sales, De La Hoya/Mayweather last year had well over 2 million buys. Pretty sure UFC's never approached that number. And last I checked EliteXC was doing well.boxing last place outta ufc/wrestling/boxing pay per view sales.
Boxing bye bye

Re: F*ck college football, big fight tonight
Personally, I think UFC sucks. But it seems like the UFC fans are so concerned with what boxing's doing. Boxing people don't care.
DLH/Pac next month will also put up huge PPV numbers. And tonight's fight, even with a terrible undercard, should put up respectable PPV numbers.That's the only fight u can say that about. What else did people actually watch from boxing?

Re: F*ck college football, big fight tonight
That list would have validity only if you also posted the amount of boxing and UFC fights that were even offered on PPV. So please post that. Thank you.

Re: F*ck college football, big fight tonight
Easy, a couple of aging fighters people pay to see. Just like with Roy Jones 2night. There aren't any young fighters people wanna see. The hbo fights aren't highly rated. Boxing on espn isn't watched either. Without any interest in their "regular" fights how are they gonna continue on when the old heads die off???

Re: F*ck college football, big fight tonight
I doubt there's much boxing offered on pay per view. And it's obvious as to why. UFC is on pay per view several times a month since they carry events people actually pay for?
