When Roy Jones Jr Confronted Showboating Specialist

Ойын-сауық

Welcome back to Boxing After Dark! Tonight, we rewind the clock to 2008. With Roy Jones Jr fresh off a significant defeat to Antonio Tarver and a surprising victory against Félix Trinidad, he wants to prove to the world he's still got it by challenging the 46 and 0 "Pride of Wales" Joe Calzaghe.

    Joe's run at the end of his career when he beat Lacy, Kessler, Hopkins and then Roy is what defined him as a fighter. So rare that all of a top champion's defining wins come at that stage but Joe did it. On top of that with his dad by his side all the way. There's a reason everyone in the UK loves Calzaghe.
