Joe Calzaghe post-fight quotes

Press Release: After defeating Roy Jones, Jr. in New York City's Madison Square Garden to retain the world light heavyweight championship, here is what Joe Calzaghe had to say afterwards.  On getting knocked down in the first round: "Roy stunned me. He hit me with a good punch. That is what being a champion is all about. But I didn't panic. I composed myself, got back up and started to fight again. I just boxed. My power is in my recovery. Anyone can fall on the floor. How you recover is what matters. I think it showed my heart, and I came back twice as strong. I really didn't see the punch coming. I feel like I am having de ja vu." On the possibility of retirement, "I am going to sit down with my family, take some time and think about it."
