It wouldn't bother Calzaghe though, it would drive him into a bigger frenzy. Ward would be bleeding all over place at the end and lose a decision. There would be no need for a rematch as Ward is a horrible fighter to watch and you would like Calzaghe to move onto something more beautiful. Boxing can be beautiful and Calzaghe was a prime example of boxing as artistry and beauty.
You forgot to mention the low blows Ward would try in his desperate attempt for victory but Joe ignoring them and wiggling his hips in defiance as he pulls away to UD victory in front of his loyal Italian fans.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
