    That was the rumor, I didn't see him at the match or any of the announcers mention his name. I was back and fourth from the tv, so I might have missed something... ???

    Uhhh, didnt you notice the HBO crews complete lack of even mentioning Calzaghe, just pushing for Pavlik-Taylor? Word is HBO isnt getting along with Calzaghe's camp, so they are trying to force a different fight, thus the lack of even mentioning him.

      Was he there or did he not show up? If he showed up, he should give a big **** you to taylor and try to get a fight with pavlik. But then again, frank warren knows Calzaghe can beat Taylor. But they don't know if he can hang with Pavlik

        Unfortunately this last fight didn't do anything to increase the value of Taylor's stock. I don't know why Calzaghe thinks Taylor is the ticket to a big money fight, all the evidence would indicate the contrary.

        Yeah, I heard that Calzaghe would be ringside. I looked for him in the crowd but didn't notice him. You would think that HBO would mention it if he was there, as it is always good advertising to show the celebrities.

          No mention by HBO? This does not look like a very good sign for Calzaghe.

              The fight was on Sky over here in the UK...do any limeys who watched the fight know if the sky commentators said anything about Calzaghe being at the fight?

                They mentioned him early on, I think it was when Berto was fighting, but my ginger **** of a mother was talking so all I caught was his name.

                I fell asleep in round 7 of the main event, too, so I didn't see anything after that either.

                  I hope you gave her a slap for her impertinence, and then sent her to the bathroom with a bottle of hair dye.

                    Pavlik Miranda was a stotter of a fight, I aint gonna jump on the Pavlik bandwagon, he made me a fan but I still know that the likes of wright would school him, but he looked good and showed that Miranda was a bully who looked lost when his opponent was the one pressing the action
