I'm a bit nervous now.

Btw where is GreatJoe cause he'll be owing me money

There should be no worries as Kessler ring intelligence and very acurate counter shots will difuse Calzaghe. This shouldn;t even be considered an upset but a Kessler vicotory is in the bag. I am sorry Mik, I like Calzaghe a lot but this is Kessler's fight. Yesterday I was watching Joe vs Omar Sheika, today Joe vs Jeff Lacy. Kessler presents a nightmare of a match-up for Joe. Respect though!

I agree that Kessler can do it, but I still think Cal is going to win. Cal can do it too. I wouldn't bet money on this fight though.

Can I ask why Hatton will retire if he loses to floyd?
I mean why do boxers quickly retire if they lose 1 fight?
whats the big deal in losing 1 fight,? why does that have such a devastating impact on a fighter's attitude?

Ok i exaggerated but alot of fighters have their confidence destroyed, mainly due to what people tell you and build you up to be, you think you are great and suddenly lose badly, you think bad thoughts about your talent.
I think he is down to earth enough to come back.

Also a bad beating can ruin your career, you may not retire but you are never the same, see Jeff lacy and Meldrick taylor.

I hope he fights on, what is hatton now, like 48 and 0?
You have to be good to have that kind of record and he is good for the sport i think.
I don't like his clinching too much but it is better than watching John ruiz do the same anyday, although it is still frustrating as hell.

im nervous too for the reason that the ref might PRE maturely waive it off ala peter macfredddy ahahaha.

I don't see how losing to Mayweather would cause Hatton to retire AT ALL. I mean he's EXPECTED to loses to the #1 p4p right? If anything, if he puts up a good fight, a loss will even help his career, as this fight is getting his name out there. Plus he just turned 29, I don't see him getting anywhere. As far as Calzaghe vs Kessler, it'd be nice to see Joe win, move up to light heavy, get a fight with Jones or Hopkins, then retire. On the other hand, Kessler is younger, taller, stronger and has many more years of boxing left in him, so if he can unify the title and hold it for a while, that'd be cool too.

SEE Zab Judah after the Tszyu fight. A perfect example of what you just said.
