I am looking forward to this fight. I got a feeling I will be moderately excited at first, but as the quality of the fight surprises me, I will get more into it from the starting bell. I got a feeling this fight will be a damned good fight, and it's very significant as well.

As the fight gets nearer, starting to get a little more excited than before, i still think Calzaghe will win easy and everyone will be wondering why the fuck they all got so hyped in the first place.
If Kessler wins, Calzaghe aint nothin to write about anymore, simple as that.
Predictions
Calzaghe over Kessler on the cards in a suprisingly easy bout. Kessler's going to show the world that he cant fight going backwards and he cant counterpunch.
Hey - Azteca noticed your predictions here - damn i find that a bold one. Allow me to say these are two areas where ppl will be very much surpriced the other way around.
Kessler is an EXCELLENT counterpuncher - who just rarely gets a chance to show it, because most of his opponents give up on bringing the fight to him all too soon. But he will revell in the opportunity against Joe.
And as for not being able to fight, moving backwards. Another area where we have little to go by - but where ppl tend to interpret it all wrong. First of all - Andrade fight clearly showed he's not devoid of ability to do so.
Second - Kessler's habbit of jumping back in a styraight line in many fights is interpreted as showing poor ability to fight going backwards - What it really shows is his excellent ability to controll distance and with great footwork put him in a possition where HE choses the manor of fighting, where he got the distance he likes, where he's ready and waiting for the opponent to walk into his counters that you underrate so much.
Kessler's defence is BASED on controlling the distance like that.
It may be that Calzaghe proves to be good enough to throw him off balance and take that advantage away from him (i doubt it). But as an analasys of what Kessler is good at and what not, i think you got it all wrong.
All the more credit to you if you hit it nail on the head.
Yes, currently only the WBO.
He also has the ring title though, which is being used alot in the advertising for this fight.
Oh okay. I was wondering where that second belt came from.
Correction, according to the champions list calazaghe only has one belt. Is this true?
Yes, currently only the WBO.

This is going to be a classic. It's going to be fought at a high level, much higher than, for instance, Pavlik-Taylor or Pac-MAB II, but also with action, more action than the other elite-level fight this year, which was on a certain May 5.
I'm very excited. I mean you have two undefeated fighters who hold two belts. The fact that the winner will be the undisputed super middleweight champion is reason enough to watch this fight. Plus these two are very talented and I can't wait to see it.
Kinda hard not to be if you're a real sports fan. Two undefeated fighters in their primes putting it all on the line in front of 60,000 people? It's old school boxing to a T.
think frank warren did a deal with a new company called sentanta which is a channel for sports. you gotta pay 15 pounds a month though :/
i'm excited because i know it's 50/50. if joe was 30 then i would say he would win, but at 35 he's got a chance to lose. who knows but it should be a good fight because both do chase and both got great talents.

Joe Great fighter i just hope age does'nt make the difference in this fight cause if Joe starts to show his age surely you have to think Kessler will win he needs to be 100 % the old Joe to beat Kessler
I'm very excited.......beenwaiting a long time for this.I was hoping the winner of Lacy/Calzaghe would end up fighting Kessler.It took long enough but it is almost here.:boxing:
