But in Britain there is very little interest. The british public dont know who Lacy is, and Calzaghe has never been popular.
But then again, only Eubank, Benn, Bruno, Naz and Lewis have been of any interest to non boxing fans.
I dont think boxing has been popular in Britain since the 80's. No one knows who De La Hoya is !
Boxing will get bigger now its back on terrestial TV, Frank Warren knows this. In about 2 years if we get a great champion it will boom, alot pins on the success of fighter like Carl Froch,Amir Kahn, is David Haye on ITV?....if they become world champs then it'll take off again.
Eubank was a character though, I mean it takes some balls to walk along the street wearing a tweed jacket leaning on a cane whilst wearing a monocle.
He was a complete arsehole though, a complete pseudo-intellectual who tried his utmost to sound eloquent, but the man is a muppet and he hardly ever makes sense like a 10 year old trying out long words for the first time to impress his mum. Eubank was great though because everyone wanted to see him get knocked out.
If that was Joe or any Brit fighter they would have been pulled out, seriously that was pure arrogance by Lacy's corner, Lacys a warrior he would have fought on forever its their responsibility.
there is no need going to the US unless your going to fight a superstar though in my opinion. I mean I dont understand this Hatton tune-up thing and having a fight in a crappy venue called Foxwoods in the arse-end of nowhere with a capacity of like 3,000 or something. You can easily put your name up in lights over here.
think you should watch a few more Kessler fights before betting any real money on a Calzaghe-Kessler fight.. It would be a very close call
its a shame this fight will never happen...its money time for Joe now, when Joe moves up Kessler can unify all the titles.
just saw his fight with krasniqi and man he took a lot of punches the guy just seems to have no real defence he was just taking the shots what do you guys think
thats why I give Danny Williams a punchers chance against him, although he'd probably get knocked himself.
225 pounds........he says he is working hard if he wasnt I just reckon he is the kind of guy to say 'I aint training hard I dont need to' so he'll come in lighter.
u guys saw lacy gf yelling? lol i kept hearing some weird screams from the tv. sound like a women. i guess that was it lol
yeah it was scary, man if that was my gf I'd hope she'd be begging my corner to get me out of there. Seriously what kind of woman is that!
I'm not giving this answer just because I'm influenced by the fight tonight....but Calzaghe would kick Tarver's ass all over the place. His fucking hands are so fast, I had trouble seeing him throw combinations.
the fight has to happen, Calzaghe wants the big bucks now he didnt get that much for Lacy.
