Boxing on ITV

[Mr Jason B]

Calzaghe v Lacy is on ITV tonight in what I think is a genuine 50/50 fight.Personally I think if Joe had this fight 5 years ago he would win comfortably but fear he might struggle now.Either gonna be Lacy by KO early or Calzaghe with a late stoppage or points win....have to have a think before placing my wagers later

Who is your money gonna be on?

Also a couple of decent fights on the undercard with Enzo v Hobson promising to be a corker

also got UFC58 to look forward to tomorrow night,which has a few good match ups,with BJ Penn making a return

I think Calzaghe is a good boxer but has rarely been in with Genuine world class boxers in their prime. Lacey fits in this catagory and think he may be too much for him.
Looking foward to it though

The Calzage fight wont be until about 2am I think. I dont know what the early undercard is like but I am only really keen on the Calzage fight.

And then there's the cricket as well, then 1am (approx) Monday morning on ITV there's the Rally from Mexico highlights. Ahhh a weekend of whisky and television, makes you feel glad to be alive

The undercard is worth watching.Sometimes I think its a shame that people only try to catch the main event when a lot of the time the fights on the undercard are better

Enzo probably has the toughest fight of his career against the British champion Hobson in an attempt to win the interim WBO.Both fighters can whack a bit so should be an interesting fight.

Wayne Alexander is fighting as well and you can usually guarentee he will either knock his opponent out or get knocked out himself

[Mr Jason B]

What an excellent start to the evening

Best and most well matched fight Ive seen in a long time and the sportmanship between the two men was superb Full credit to Enzo and Hobson

Lets hope the rest of the night lives up to this....

Well I couldnt have been more wrong about the Alexander fight,how tedious was that?To be fair it wasnt Alexanders fault,Macdonough just wanted to run away for 12 rounds

Only another half hour to go

Calzaghe totally annihilated Lacy

I will say though in Lacy's defence he just didn't seem right from the start of the week and walking out to the ring had a face like he had already lost.
IMO he should walked it but fair play to Calzaghe he proved not for the first time what a world class boxer he really is, and to keep up that pace for 12 rounds was a treat to watch.
