Joe Calzaghe v Mikkel Kessler on saturday night

anyone know what channel the fight is on ?

Usually it`s ITV for Frank Warren`s fighters but I haven`t seen it on their website...

Definately on Setanta, think the Calzaghe fight starts at 1:30.

Luckily we`ve got it for the football.

Think they are doing a special offer of £5 for this month if you sign up (there`s no time contract, but when we signed up normally there was £10 "connection" fee which I would assume will probably still apply).

The programme starts at 8:15pm on Setanta Sports 1 - there is a decent undercard, with the main event at 1 or 1:30am, to suit US audiences. The Clinton Woods vs. Julio Gonzalez II fight is repeated at 3pm that day, so if you don`t have Setanta, it might be worth looking into the £5 a month for 3 months offer. If the bill had been on Sky, you`d be looking at forking out £15 for the Calzaghe fight alone.

See here for the schedule.

As for the fight, I think Kessler`s fast hands will give Calzaghe problems, but the Dane has never fought anyone in Calzaghe`s class and he`ll be looking to put on a Lacy-like masterclass. It won`t be easy but I pick Calzaghe to win on points or by late stoppage.

Definately on setanta as talksport have been runing advert/competitions for it all week

Main undercard fight is Enzo Macrinelli`s fight I believe (now part of the Enzo Calzaghe Stable)

Hi

I have watched all of Calzage`s fights on ITV for last 10 years, i was a bit p***ed it wasn`t on ITV especially for all the real boxing fans who can`t afford it. But have subscribed to setanta Broadband for £7.99pm, which isn`t to bad you get some football as well. If it had been sky i wouldn`t of bothered, it probably would of been PPV on there.

It`s only the past 3/4years that Calazaghe`s had most of his fight`s on ITV isn`t it? I`m convinced he`s had quite a few on Sky payperview over the years.

What a terrific fight. Kessler was stronger than I expected and was surprised that Calzaghe chose to trade so much but it paid off and I had him a 116-112 winner.

If a fight could be made with Hopkins at 170lbs (the weight that Hopkins and Wright fought at) in a big venue in the US, it would be an amazing event and one that Calzaghe could win with his hand speed and versatility.
