Who's going to be showing this fight I thought HBO turned it down because of the money that was wanted and then Showtime was going to maybe show it but not until next year.Comment

LOL they aren't even fighting now because they bickered so long about the venue and date. I kinda agree with HBO telling them to f*** off if they take that long. It will teach both promoters a lesson in the future about how to negotiate a fight, which Warren has to be the worst at of all time. I know it's a great style matchup on paper, but I lost interest when June rolled around and this still wasn't signed. You can only bicker so long before everyone stops caring.Comment

Calzaghe has a lot of the tools to beat Kessler, but I don't see him do it. Kessler proved against Andrade that he can handle a very aggressive fighter for 12 rounds without losing a round. Calzaghe is a way better boxer than Andrade (and he should at this time be considered the best at super middle ever), but those boxing skills he won't be able to use against Kessler as he can against other fighters. Calzaghe has a lot of different tactics, but fighting at a distance against Kessler is like fighting against the Klitschko at a distance: it won't work. Calzaghe needs to get closer. He has a lot of agility and good footwork, but Kessler moves just as well. Kessler will frustrate Calzaghe, but also take more shots than usual. But in the end
Kessler will win fairly easyComment

Calzaghe is faster than Kessler (faster than anyone in the division, by far), has a very unconventional style, and will most likely confuse Kessler just like he confuses everyone else. I like Kessler, he's very solid, skilled technically, dedicated, has a great work ethic, and is very ring-smart, but I don't think he's got an answer for Calzaghe's style and speed. And one thing you can always count on....Joe will be in great ****ing shape, and will not slow down in late rounds. If anything, he comes on stronger. Kessler will most likely finish on his feet and behind on the cards by a comfortable (for Calzaghe) but not embarassing margin.Comment

Calzaghe will find out he has been lied to for 10 years.
Finally we will see him in the ring with an elite. Lets hope Calzaghe won't look like Manfredo in comparison.Comment
