Calzaghe -v- Kessler

[johnnywb]

So, can Calzaghe do it again, or is this one fight too far?

[thewave]

Much like the Hatton v Mayweather fight......too close to call.

Just saw the press conference he did not sound enthusiastic it will come down to the will to win.

[amokwa]

"Pretty Boy " Floyd should walk it unlike Kosta Zu he is agile and a ringmaster I think it is a bridge too far for Hatton.

[GALLARDOGUY]

is it pay per view on sky or setanta? or on regular sky sports? should be a cracking fight. both undefeated, good chins, fast hands. cant wait!

I think that's a bold statement considering the facts.

I'm not saying PBF won't win, because he might, but he certainly won't 'walk' it.

you're not wrong there mate

Go Joe!

Kessler had to get down to his birthday suit to make the weight limit. It seems a pair of boxer shorts weigh two ounces.

Bookies offering 3/1 against the Hitman. Had to be worth a punt.

[Vette_1978]

I'm expecting another masterclass from Calzaghe tonight. Kessler won't be as static as Lacy was when he got a good hammering from the outside, but he just too inexperienced.

Doubting there'll be a stoppage as Joe's not a big finisher so reckon a wide UD on the cards.

Think Five Live from 1:30am is the only option.

[speedy_noo]

Anyone know what the deal is with Setanta? I gather there's no contract, however, from what I've heard its £9.95 a month, must be cancelled in writing (giving a months notice) and there's an inital set up / admin fee of about a tenner.

I only want to watch the fight tonight and have no interest in anything else on Setanta but if the above is true its gonna cost me £30 which is ridiculous!

P.S. I can't get through to Setanta to clarify, so not just being lazy.

[Broccers]

5 live will do me.

Cant see Joe losing (literally)

[Gizmo535]

I'm on 5 live too. Sounds pretty close - even possibly a tinge on Kessler's side...

[Broccers]

Watching it would be better but I refuse to pay more for tv subs.

Does sound close.

[speedy_noo]

Its not sounding too good for Calzaghe at the moment..

[Gizmo535]

He did sound very shaky, but Kessler's tired a lot in rounds 9-11. So unless there's one big punch left in Kessler, JC's going to take this, surely?

[Stu R]

in the bag for JC

[Robatr0n]

The fight was alot more sided towards Joe but it would be more apparrent when watching it as opposed to listening to it.

He had a tough fight and got caught with some huge punches but everytime that happened he steamed back in and gave Kessler a barrage of punches. Great fight!

[MikeyT]

A good win by JC ... and I've been no fan of his in the past but he did the job on Sat. Kessler was too one dimensional as fighter to beat someone with Calzaghe's experience.



What was all this rubbish about Setanta. Cracking deal on their site. £5 subscription for a month - one off - not direct debit - so I saw it for less than half what Sky normally charge.

So what was the rip-off? Good deal I thought. You CAN just sign up for a month - not a rolling contract.
