Page 1 of Joe Calzaghe v Mikkel Kessler on saturday night

anyone know what channel the fight is on ?

Usually it`s ITV for Frank Warren`s fighters but I haven`t seen it on their website...

i assumed itv, but when i saw some of the interviews on itv wales the other night im sure the boards behind the ring said setanta. i was hoping to watch, but if its on setanta i wont be able to.

Definately on Setanta, think the Calzaghe fight starts at 1:30.

Luckily we`ve got it for the football.

Think they are doing a special offer of £5 for this month if you sign up (there`s no time contract, but when we signed up normally there was £10 "connection" fee which I would assume will probably still apply).

The programme starts at 8:15pm on Setanta Sports 1 - there is a decent undercard, with the main event at 1 or 1:30am, to suit US audiences. The Clinton Woods vs. Julio Gonzalez II fight is repeated at 3pm that day, so if you don`t have Setanta, it might be worth looking into the £5 a month for 3 months offer. If the bill had been on Sky, you`d be looking at forking out £15 for the Calzaghe fight alone.

See here for the schedule.

As for the fight, I think Kessler`s fast hands will give Calzaghe problems, but the Dane has never fought anyone in Calzaghe`s class and he`ll be looking to put on a Lacy-like masterclass. It won`t be easy but I pick Calzaghe to win on points or by late stoppage.

Definately on setanta as talksport have been runing advert/competitions for it all week

Main undercard fight is Enzo Macrinelli`s fight I believe (now part of the Enzo Calzaghe Stable)

Seem to remember Warren bumbing his chat about bringing boxing back to the masses when he started on ITV then the superfight and str8 back to PPV :(

Hi

I have watched all of Calzage`s fights on ITV for last 10 years, i was a bit p***ed it wasn`t on ITV especially for all the real boxing fans who can`t afford it. But have subscribed to setanta Broadband for £7.99pm, which isn`t to bad you get some football as well. If it had been sky i wouldn`t of bothered, it probably would of been PPV on there.

It`s only the past 3/4years that Calazaghe`s had most of his fight`s on ITV isn`t it? I`m convinced he`s had quite a few on Sky payperview over the years.

What a terrific fight. Kessler was stronger than I expected and was surprised that Calzaghe chose to trade so much but it paid off and I had him a 116-112 winner.

If a fight could be made with Hopkins at 170lbs (the weight that Hopkins and Wright fought at) in a big venue in the US, it would be an amazing event and one that Calzaghe could win with his hand speed and versatility.

My thoughts exactly, A great fight from the opening bell to the final.
