After wasting a couple of hours of my life watching Clinton Woods last night I'm looking forward to getting them back next weekend from Calzage.
Satanta are running features this week in the lead up - showing a decent amount of footage from a lot of his previous fights - Quality viewing. I think it might be a few years (after he's finished) until people fully realise how good he is.
I'd love to see him knock Hopkins out in the mid to late rounds but it looks like a points victory, if he can command the fight like he did against Lacy - without breaking his hands.
Come on Joe!!

Really looking forward to next weekend mostly for the derby game on the sunday but this will be a good build uo 4 it on the sat joe will kill him i have no doubt about that he's always been underrated but he fought too many poor fighters imo and should've went to america much sooner.WTF was fighting manfredo all about fair enough he may be a little regarded in america but that was a joke of a fight to make.

Calzaghe is a great fighter and will be classed as a top 20 all time fighter. I see Calzghe beating Hopkins quite convincingly and then a tougher test awaits in the form of Kelly Pavlik.

With the difference in size Calzaghe will beat Pavlik. |

Been a bit off on my predictions lately, but.....
Calzaghe pummels Hopkins, wins every round or possible late stoppage. Hopkins retires.
Ditto Pavlik, he may be in his mid 30s but Calzaghe hasnt had many ageing fights in his career. His sheer work rate and power wins both.

Agreed. Hopkins won't be able to cope with the pace Calzaghe sets. He likes to coast through rounds at times and Calzaghe won't let him do that, I'm having a big bet on Calzaghe to win on points. The Pavlik matchup would be a great fight although I think Calzaghe would have enough. |

The clock countdown on setanta's website last week was pretty accurate to the start of the Woods fight, it was only 20 mins off. The clock for tonights fight has that it's on at 10.30pm - obviously the start of the show this time.
Anyway, predictions on a start time (BST), the first bell of the first round being the start...
i'm going for 4.37am. Think I'll have to get up at about 3am.

There are lots of build-up shows on Setanta all night. The actual 'fight show' is on from 02:00-05:00.
So, that might suggest a 3 to 3:30 start time?

BBC has radio coverage from 3am.
But to watch it without Setanta, your best bet is either a pub or casino - or there will be streams available on the net (the quality isn't usually brilliant though).

Dont know why everyone is so suprised and annoyed at a 4am start time.
4am is 8pm in Vegas what time do you want them to fight lunchtime?
