    Nahhh,he's probably gonna watch the fight on HBO...
    Calzaghe has fought in germany, denmark and fought english men in england so lets not blow the hometown thing out of proportion. He'd have a job to watch it on HBO in Wales anyway.

      Nah he wouldn't, we get to watch it for free here.

      Except it's Sky Sports 1, but they're associated with HBO anyway, we get the same live feed except with different commentators.

        Yep yep yep,

        What do you think of Jim Watt?

        I think his technical analysis kills Lampley and Merchant,

        I was quite impressed by his tactical reading of the fight when i saw it on youtube.

        Johnny Nelson however......

        thats another story.

        lol.

          So he'd watch it on Sky anyway that wasn't really my point and its free as long as you pay the forty odd pound a month.

            Now this is good news,

            Joe fight in the US,

            You win, they respect you.

                    The truth hurts. Taylor fought the best without having to leave his country. If Calzaghe could do that, maybe he would get more respect...

                      Ughh (nearly pukes)

                      Well at least we get to see it for free,

                      ITV 3 again?

                      Another Frank Warren card?

                      I can see it now.

                      Amir Khan vs Danny the Doorman of the Red Lion Pub

                      Audley Harrisson vs Matt Skelton (Winner gets a title shot)

                      Michael Sprott vs Danny Willams 4 (Winner gets a title shot)

                      Michael Sprott and Danny Willams in a tag team match against Matt Skelton and Audley Harrisson (Winners get two title shots)


                      You know it will happen.
