They made CASTILLO-NGOUDJO, HATTON-URANGO, and CALZAGHE-MANFREDO official. All of which have dates.

Im surprised that the CALZAGHE fight is being played live, and if its 5 PM here in NY, doesnt that make it 1 or 2 in the morning in England?

The Calzaghe fight will be at like 10PM local time. They are 5 hours ahead of EST...

Why doesnt Calzaghe ever fight in the states? Ricky Hatton did it.

Honestly...why does it matter? Number one and two at 168 are Calzaghe, and Kessler. Both Europeans. Why do they need to fight in the states when they are making a BUNDLE fighting at home..doesn't make sense.

If Americans are willing to go to the UK to fight Calzaghe (Lacy and Manfredo for instance), then he should also be willing to fight in the US. If everyone had your mind set, we would miss out on a lot of great fights considering there are few top fighters in the UK...

Is the Calzaghe fight LIVE live or is it Calzaghe- Bika live?
