well, what can i say, outcome was as expected. but i cant help feeling a little wanting for me from Joe. i think it is a damn shame he never established himself in the US. you can blame people ducking him, happens all the time in boxing to anyone that is good, but he should have made sacrifices to come to US and prove himself. fighting a couple of washed up fighters, Roy Jones next?, is just not going to give him the credibility he desrves. I would be impressed if he take a fight with Pavlick and does well. im sure the UK will have a say in this, but plain and simple, just as in football a star in MLS still needs to go over to Europe and prove himself, Joe needs to in States

i do want to point out the class of the Welsh fans, but coming after having to deal with the hooligans that follow Hatton, that is easy to do. the Welsh were spirited and demostrative without being disrespectful.

also, take note, the class of US fans(although not many there 555) that sat quietly and respected the Wales National Anthem, unlike the low class Hatton fans
