 Steve”2-Pound” Forbes Painting by Chris Guzman

In an exclusive interview with former world champion and Contender runner-up Steve “2-Pound” Forbes, he speaks quite candidly about tonight’s fight between Roy Jones, Jr. and Joe Calzaghe.

“I’m looking for the upset. . . I’m going with Roy on this one. Roy has fought the better opposition over the years, and throws a lot of punches for basically being a counterpuncher. Calzaghe got knocked down by Hopkins, and Hopkins doesn’t even throw a lot of punches like Roy does. I don’t think Calzaghe has the punching power to stand up to Roy, either. If Roy gets in there and starts having fun like he used to, he’s going to win. I like Roy in this one.”

Loyal Bolo Punch Boxing Hour listeners will remember that on this past Thursday’s broadcast our opinions were mixed, with Chris Guzman and Emil “Soda Popinski” Kegebein both going with Jones, whereas Tim “the Producer” Paterson and Ray Flores both thought Calzaghe would stay undefeated. Guzman added that a late round stoppage by Roy wouldn’t surprise him.
