As much as I want to say Joe Calzaghe by landslide, I just can't see any way possible that this is going to be another Lacy. That will have been over 18 months ago by the time he gets in the ring with Kessler, and with the body clock ticking along relentlessly, the question whether that will have an impact on the shape Joe can get himself into.

The divisions where fighters can defy time tend to be among the bigger guys where speed is not an issue, but if Joe does turn up at 100%, then I think that he can outwork Kessler from the kinds of angles and frequency that Kessler has never faced before. The success of Calzaghe's movement and evasiveness whilst throwing oodles of punches will be the key for this fight I feel, and I have voted for a Hard fought Calzaghe decision as the result, but if Calzaghe fights to his best, Kessler's stamina might fail him as he continually fails to land, and might get stopped late on.

Damn, I don't know. I can see a flash knockdown for Kessler, Joe getting his ego in the way and trading a little, but ultimately I still see him winning. And either way, I see myself being rather drunk whilst at the stadium, praying that my VCR is going to record the damn thing properly.
