I think you have to either have done or watched some training and sparring firsthand to truly appreciate boxing. The fitness required is unbelievable and the technical and strategic element is a substantial part in the process of kicking the shit out of one another.
It’s always a shame when you get the likes of Mayweather throwing away his and the sports credibility by doing something like WWE and the pre-fight conferences are cringeworthy but not that far removed from the pantomime that a lot of the Premiership gaffers play out through the media.
I have to admit the ritual of watching the fight with a few beers and a bit of cash on the side is a cracking evening or early morning pastime.

Calzaghe's speed and power will be lost in the step up, could be a struggle for him, and a terrible fight to watch. How do you lose power by stepping up a weight? Calzaghe has already stated that he struggled at the lower weight and now feels stronger. The speed of a punch has a hell of a lot to do with the power of a punch by stepping up a weight he will be losing a bit of his speed and accuracy.Fwiw i dont thing it will make the difference in this fight the difference will be the amount of punches calzaghe gives out. |

ah but you have to give a months notice! I am sure they'll cut us off just before the fight starts. Cunts  If that happens you get a kicking. If you had a brain you'd have told me to wait until Monday to cancel. |

I'm not sure whether to stay up for this or set the alarm and get up early. I'll probably miss the the whole thing either way..
