It's set. The super middleweight clash everyone has been waiting for is on November 3. WBO super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe will face Mikkel Kessler at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff
Yes! Im gna get tickets,this will be my first live boxing event (hopefuly)
I wonder why its in Cardiff and not Denmark? Joe's gota huge advantage.
Who do u pick to win?
I got Calzaghe by close UD,i think the hometown advantage will help him alot more
I'm hoping to get tickets for this fight, I'm damn excited already!
I'm predicting a great fight and a great show from Joe.
He wins by UD.
tickets went on sale today got mine already cant wait!
this is great news for boxing.....Joe by TKO...Mikkel has never faced a fighter on this level...as solid as Mikkel is he won't be able to deal with the non stop onslaught from Calzaghe plus the crowd will also be overwhelming.
Kessler by UD.
This is worth a trip across the north sea...
I think Calzaghe will win by a wide UD, Kessler just seems a bit 1 dimensional to me kinda like lacy.
Im still trying to figure out why joe ducked roy even after getting offered 60% of the purse and to fight in joes back yard.. scared much???
Why would he fight Roy now?
If Joe's hand breaks,i think hes in for some trouble,he cant fight one handed against a skilled opponent like Kessler
I think that he can and I think that he probably will.
I'll believe it when I see them in the ring. Until then, this is all just hype to me. It's a Calzaghe fight. Are you REALLY going to book plans for November fight knowing he has three and a half months to get injured or back out?
Yeh that might happen,Joe alwyas gets injured

Heres more news
It's set. The super middleweight clash everyone has been waiting for is on November 3. WBO super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe (43-0, 32 KOs) will face Mikkel Kessler (39-0, 29 KOs) at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. The bout will be televised in the UK on the Setanta Sports Network. "At the moment we're talking with American broadcasters, but the main thing was to make the fight," promoter Frank Warren told Fightnews.com. "We don't don't get TV companies to get behind fights before they're made like happens in the States, except in this instance we did need the Bristish input and that's where Setanta has come in. What happens with the American broadcast will be sorted out next week."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warren added that outside of the heavyweight fights he's been involved with, "this will the most expensive that I've ever put on...the most expensive purses. You know the type of money the guys were asking for. That's what we've had to deal with
Wow,Setanta Sports is really on the come up,they have played alot of great fights recently,hopefuly Sky Sports will step up and play even more fights and we get the best
At last..I cant wait for this another tearup Oooops and another British fighter!! Mmmmmm Best Taylor and the rest of erm take note in this fight..Joe can now show them how its done..Mayweather might aswell take a look aswell then he can learn how to fight also!!
I just keep it real. Joe is half italian from what I hear.. Im full italian and im not jumpin on his nuts just cuz of that... I think UK fans just dont realize that there biased. Myself I just say it how it is.. open your eyes please...

He must have realised that jones has bigger fish to fry like anthony hanshaw.
For Joe it's his hands, they break almost every fight.
If Joe's hand breaks,i think hes in for some trouble,he cant fight one handed against a skilled opponent like Kessler
Jermain Taylor
Floyd Mayweather
Bernard Hopkins
Roy Jones
James toney..........
The list goes on and on, and don't give me this "America is the mecca of boxing, pwned" bullshit. It's quite fair to make the assumption that all of these guys are scared to leave their home countries aswell, considering the fact that they have never fought abroad.
No not really. Two wrongs do not a right make.
Anyway, Sin is an idiot...pay no attention to him.
Calzaghe waited too long for this fight. Kessler will find a way to win. Close fight...
