Has anyone seen the undercard for this fight yet? It is quite possibly one of the worst, ever.

It's not pay per view in the US which probably explains that.

Calzaghe has to win no doubts about it. If he doesn't his whole career is pretty much a sham.

I expect Calzaghe to win on points,Hopkins has never been stopped so it would be a big suprise if he was.Joe's hand speed,excellent fitness and workrate should be more than enough,and when has did get put down he got straight back up handed out a beating.This would be a great win because i dont go along with the age thing with Hopkins,plus he's up against Cortez and 3 american judges.Hopkins knows all the dirty tricks (as does Joe) and will use them all late on if the fight is going away from him because i doubt Cortez will stop him,so as long as Joe's not reckless i go for a points win.

Anyone know where I can watch this fight out? I've got a night out I can't get out of in Liverpool and can't get home to watch it. Don't fancy watching the repeat its not quite the same!

Depends on what time it's on. It's on basic Setanta so most pubs that do the live football will have it. Some hotels may have it as well if you're staying over. I'm not aware of what pubs in Liverpool will be open if the fight is only on at 4am but there should be plenty with it on if the fight is at 2am. I'm sure those that are having it on will advertise it outside.

They are due in the ring at 3.10am, this corresponds to the time HBO coverage starts in the US.

For the record this is a tough one to call, a real 50/50 fight, the fact that its in Vegas means it is likely Joe will have to stop Hopkins which I just can't see happening.

I take Hopkins on split decision.

People who know nothing about boxing should think before they post, maybe this will stop you from future foolishness.

Hopkins isn't a concussive puncher and never has been at the highest level, this will go to points.
