Calzaghe Kessler set for Nov 3

Biggest fight ever made at 168 lbs in my opinion, bigger than Jones-Toney.  The arena holds 70,000+ and I think you will see it filled to the brim with Calzaghe and Kessler's countrymen.  Props to Warren and Kessler's team for getting this deal done, this fight had to happen.

In my opinion; Maxboxing.com, thesweetscience.com, and ESPN.com's boxing section round out my top three in terms of prospective and columnists.  In terms of instant news I have to go with FightNews.com.  For fighter record research it's boxrec. 

 

This from the guy Always just praised.

U must not watch boxing

 

I watch enough to see both of these guys duck fighter after fighter, like most european bums

 

Agreed!

Calzaghe hasn't ducked anyone.  He's always offered to fight guys in Europe, where he sells out vast stadiums in an electric atmosphere.  Boxing's more popular over there, so Calzaghe makes more money there, and he has no incentive to come to the U.S.

And what does "european bums" mean?  Most of the top fighters in the world are from outside the U.S.  Boxing would be in a sad state without these supposed "european bums"?  Comments like that make you sound provincial and ignorant.

Regarding the actual fight, I kinda like Kessler.  I loved the way he tactically took Librado Andrade out of his game by using his size and reach advantages.  Kessler can crack, and it'll be interesting to see Calzaghe try to get inside for one of his patented flurries.  Calzaghe will likely get worn out from the punishment he sustains while trying to close the distance between him and Kessler.  I see Kessler winning by a late stoppage, perhaps in the 10th round.
