Fun fact about Joe Calzaghe (the man getting hit in the face) - He had 46 professional boxing matches.

He won every single one of those 46 fights.

32 of them were by knockout.

Man only got dropped about 4 times in his entire career too. Got up to batter them every time.

He actually won this match?!

Did he duck any fights or was he that good?

u/Nanookthesealtrapper 2d ago

He did not...that is Roy Jones Jr arguably the best pound for pound fighter...and Joe won

Joe utterly clowned on him. R3 was unreal. I've been watching Joe's old fights on YouTube, what a legend!

The Jeff Lacy fight was the one that really woke the American audience up to Joe. They thought Lacy would wipe the floor with him and Joe absolutely schooled him from the first bell. He made Lacy look like a punk.

I remember that fight back in the day. It was an absolute masterclass.

Absolutely, I'll always talk shit on the klit brothers for ruining boxing but outside of the heavyweight class this was a true golden era

They say goats can eat anything. Including uppercuts from a 39 yr old Roy Jones Jr, who held multiple championships in four weight classes.

The way his jaw bounces OFF his ears is brutal

It looked like his face was going to pop out the back of his head. I had to watch it several times because I just couldn't believe that it didn't.

Even the guy that hits him is like "Damn bro"

You know you been hit hard when your ears flap from the blow.

I vaguely remember watching him break his hand in one fights and still dominating by only throwing punches with his other hand. Oh and also I remember watching a bbc thing showing him training by sprinting up a big grass bank outside the caravan where he lived! He seemed like a great dude.

His front teeth will be gone. That HURTS so bad. After studying martial arts for years, I’ve been there. 😢
