CC Wack-maninov, you are the true composer of the Drunken Round-by-round, and I'm sure this one will be tuneful for all to hear.

I've cast the first vote towards a Calzaghe UD, although I don't rule out Calzaghe getting a stoppage down the stretch, as Kessler tires from an endless tirade of punches. To be honest, I don't rule out much of anything. You're right in saying that neither has faced opposition like the other before, but I truly believe that if Kessler is to win this fight he is going to have to demonstrate something which he hasn't shown us so far in his career, and that is pure naked speed. Joe is going to look to come in and out buzzing about him like a wasp, and we'll see whether Kessler can swat him.

Unfortunately I won't be here on the night of the fight, I'm going to be down at the stadium with 50,000 or 60,000 others eager to see one of the biggest fights of the decade, in what is without doubt the best year in boxing for a generation.

Roll on Nov 3, and roll on the Calzaghe bandwagon.
