For Roy to win he has to figure out some way to cut down Calzaghe's workrate. He can do this by landing accurate straight rights when Calzaghe opens up. Roy has the speed/quickness do be successful in doing so. If Calzaghe gets caught a few times early he will be a little more hesitant to let his hands go. The more he eats the less he will throw, but if Roy lays on the rops and lets Joe get into a rhythm he will be in trouble. I'm really looking forward to this fight. As of now my money is on Calzaghe, but I haven't put too much thought in to this one yet.
Thanks man. I agree . I think if the fight stays in the middle of the ring then RJ has the advantage since he gets off with the quicker more powerful punches. But like what you said...once RJ lies on the ropes he better land a left hook quick and move because that's where Cal will live up to his Mr. Compubox title and out land Roy. This is the classic battle of styles. I can't wait for this fight to be official. Of course I'm going for RJ since I'm a fan of his but I definitely favor Cal if he starts off well early and gets into a rhythm.
