Had to come back and post about this fight. Few points, firstly, this post is complete rubbish.

1. Joe Calzaghe went into that fight thinking Bika was 2nd rate. All this talk recently of Calzaghe being the greatest ever British fighter- when he went into that ring- he was taken in by his own hype and as a result he fought the completely wrong fight. There were a few time this fight became an all out punch up and Joe, hands down, walked onto numerous flush shots. If it proves anything, he has got a good chin!!

2. Joe is much better than this fight made out, we all know that. As Barry MgGuigan said, styles make fights and Bika's style mixed with Joe's southpaw style made for a very rough fight. Bika is a hell of a strong guy!

3. We've never seen Joe cut and bruised like that- I'd say mostly the result of head butts, some were deliberate- that Bika is one dirty fighter.

4. Joe admitted he fought the wrong fight and as MgGuigan said, once you've made a gameplan error, it is hard to go back to normal boxing in the middle of a fight. The times Joe did box, Bika was outclassed. I think if there was a rematch, Joe would stop this fella if he played it right. Although he did win this one by a clear margin so not all bad!!

5. Joe Calzaghe is 34, he ain't got long left before age gets to him- he needs a big fight in his next fight to unify the titles would do him justice.
