WOW......
This is just a masterclass from Joe! I've never seen Joe box as well as good as this!
[EDIT] Rd 6 and Joe is taking the urine out of Lacy. This really is awesome.

Same as.
Just seen up to end of round 6, now back at my work.
Just worry about Calz dropping his guard. It only takes one punch...
Best fight I've seen for a long time, simply because our guy is winning!!!!

Are there any superlatives to describe how well Joe Calzaghe has just fought?
Lacy's corner should have thrown the towel in way before the last round IMO.
Joe has well and truly shown his world class pedigree in this fight. I said on a thread weeks ago that Lacy might win this. How wrong was i!

What a performance by the boyo, Joe just beat up Lacey for 12 rounds. I must admit i was worried going into this fight but Calzaghe put in a top drawer performance. It looked like a man fighting a boy, why Lacey's corner didn't throw the towel in I'll never know.
As Calzaghe said it was the first time since 1997 he has fought to win a world title rather than regain the world title, I think that this made a big difference with Calzaghe's approach.

right, now i've got my breath back! that was one of THE best displays of boxing i've ever seen, from any fighter, from anywhere in the world - absolutely breathtaking. i was worried about Joe's hands, but to be honest i think he was so superior i think he could have won one-handed, like he did in his last fight.

Just watched this on Sky +and the dam thing stopped recording with 1 minute 21 seconds of the last round to go. GUTTED!!
Was a brilliant fight, the best I've seen in ages. Wish I'd got to see the end though.
