Calzaghe, being the wily old veteran that he is, is not going to make this a crowd-pleasing fight. He's going to avoid exchanges like the plague, and use his footwork and hand speed to throw the occasional light-punching flurry at Pavlik. Pavlik, although a wildly entertaining fighter and one of my favorites, can be a bit plodding at times. And Joe will surely try to take advantage of that.
Having said all that, I still voted Pavlik, 'cause it is a 12-round fight, and there's always a chance the crowd will goad Calzaghe into mixing it up with Pavlik, which of course would be his undoing.
