Who's next for Joe?
Calzaghe who is currently enjoying a well deserved holiday at the moment after defeating Bernard Hopkins, it seems the Welsh Dragon has ruled out retirement and has his eyes set on another big fight night possibly with Roy Jones Jr or Kelly The Ghost Pavlik. The question is which will he choose? Seems Jones has setup the stall and is very interested in fighting Joe, a fight with Pavlik seems less likely and even Tarver is trying to grab some attention however after his show against Hopkins I think this fight is unlikely also.
I think we all agree it would be great to see this deal done, Jones V Calzaghe as it is really the last hurdle for Calzaghe with his unblemished record(45- 0). Jones 52 Wins (38 knockouts, 14 decisions), 4 Losses and a champion in 4 different weight divisions will also be look for the big pay day, It seems he is interested in travelling to Wales for the contest too. Jones notably avoided Steve Collins after he beat the best in the UK in the 90's, Nigel Benn was dismantled by Collins fairly easily twice and Eubank who put up more of a contest but still no match for Collins who won both fights with no questions asked, Collins wanted the fight with Jones however it never materialized but now that Jones has been exposed with 4 losses it seems he has nothing to lose by fighting Joe and everything to gain.
Jones is a great fighter to watch but not flawless, this will be an exciting fight if it happens. I think Jones is confident now after watching Calzaghe V Hopkins but that was a fight which showed little of Calzaghe's skills just sheer determination and ability to outfox the fox, this is the fight I always wanted to see! and it would give me great gratification if Calzaghe can overcome Jones cause I think he has ducked his fair share of top contenders in his time for the easier option or what he thought was an easier option and proved not to be i.e Tarver.

2 out of 2 For Ray, Coleraine Boxing Show
Another good win for Raymond who was fighting in the Bushtown Hotel, Garvagh road, his opponent Jamie Houston from Coleraine had the crowd behind him however in the first round they didn't get anything to cheer about. Raymond immediately from the first bell dominated his opponent, with hooks, uppercuts, cornering his opponent very well then continued to open up with 4-5 punch combinations of punches whislt young Houston couldnt' escape from. Raymond landed an overhand right which stunned his opponent, but didn't take the opportunity to finish him off.
By the second round it was clear that Raymond had over worked in the first round, Jamie started to catch Raymond with straight jabs and crosses and even landing a few haymackers of his own stunning Raymond, however Raymond did manage to up his tempo again and finish the round strongly.
3rd round was a tiring one for both fighters as neither failed to make much impact on each other, Raymond on his toes jabbed his opponent and moved well avoiding a toe to toe battle and scoring well. The decision was 21-15 to Raymond who was the clear winner at the end of the night.
Well done kid.

40 SECOND BLAST
 |
| From New Pics of f... |
My Nephew Raymond's first fight shown in red to the left blasted his oponent in the blue out in 40 seconds in the first round at the Letterkenny youth club 10/2/07. His oponent came out with some swift jabs, however it wasn't long before he fealt the full force and flurry of punches by Raymond which left his oponent stranded against the ropes. With little artillery to fire back the referree stopped the fight as the young man failed to defend himself when recieving a barriage of punches in the corner of the ring from Ray.
It was a proud moment for all the family who were there including my dad, uncle Paddy and my little nephew Davin. Well done kid keep up the good work.
