This is a bad matchup for Roy. Stamina will be the key in this fight and Roy has none these days. Calzaghe on the other hand is Mr stamina and will throw a lot of punches for 3 minutes of every round. B-Hop was able to cut down Joe's workrate though because he was hitting him with precision shots and Joe was weary of his right hands. Roy still has the ability to stop Joe's flurries with well timed counters and this is why it will be a crowd pleasing fight. But Roy can't fight at a high pace for 12 rounds anymore. I'll be rooting for him but Joe will get the UD or SD. Roy will make him look amateurish though.
