Calzaghe-Kessler Official, US Deal Close

[Cletus Funk]

If it's not on HBO or Showtime, it'll surely be on Sopcast...

It would be my dream for Hatton-Mayweather and Calzaghe-Kessler to happen on the same day. To overhyped bums getting dismantled on the same day would be an early Christmas present...

Overhyped? Mayweather, maybe. Kessler's not really been that hyped.

again $in... ****ing hilarious..

kessler wins this one, and ill take the trip from denmark..

[gigogreco]

I don't know about that. I assume Calzaghe's been on TV over there.

Kessler has never been on British TV.

you dont know much then..

they have so much time to hype this one up, and with the unification and the titel as indisputed smw chamo in the line this is an easy fight to promote..

People saying this will gather no interest in America are horribly wrong. The top two SMWs on the planet are going toe to toe in what looks like will be an exciting fight. This isn't going to get huge treatment but it is most certainly going to be picked up by Sho or HBO and receive good ratings.

Yep, they sure are. I've been waiting for this fight for a few years now. If they don't show this on US television, I'm going to make the trip to Wales to watch it live, and cancel my HBO subscription forever.

And Calzaghe will win a UD, comfortable margin, but not even remotely embarassing to Kessler. Hopefully, there'll be a rematch.

This is a fight that should be happening. If anything it will atleast make more future fights maybe if Taylor is going up after his fight with Pavlik or if Pavlik fights one of these guys after either way would make for some future entertaining fights and probably an entertaining one of its own. I'm a little excited.

I will be going to this fight as I did for the Calzaghe v Manfredo and aside from the fact thati'm a big Calzaghe fan I can tell anyone thinking of going that you will never come across an atmosphere as electric as it will be come fight night.

As for the fight, I haven't seen a single fight of Kessler's so I'd be guessing in terms of the outcome but I will say this, Kessler had better be beyond the traditional levels of fitness, even in terms of World Champions, because Calzaghe's greatest strength is a workrate that (combined with speed) a feather-weight would struggle to match.

Boxing will be winner for sure when this fight takes place and I'd encourage anyone capable of getting to the fight to do so.

Roll on November, Tremendous!!!

....I predict HBO will get this deal done. This is a can't miss fight.

Watch out now, enlight of this, for Taylor and maybe Pavlik to go to 168, as was rumered...I just wonder what will happen with Miranda/Abraham, if that takes place
