It's not pay per view in the US which probably explains that.

Calzaghe has to win no doubts about it. If he doesn't his whole career is pretty much a sham.

I expect Calzaghe to win on points,Hopkins has never been stopped so it would be a big suprise if he was.Joe's hand speed,excellent fitness and workrate should be more than enough,and when has did get put down he got straight back up handed out a beating.This would be a great win because i dont go along with the age thing with Hopkins,plus he's up against Cortez and 3 american judges.Hopkins knows all the dirty tricks (as does Joe) and will use them all late on if the fight is going away from him because i doubt Cortez will stop him,so as long as Joe's not reckless i go for a points win.

Anyone know where I can watch this fight out? I've got a night out I can't get out of in Liverpool and can't get home to watch it. Don't fancy watching the repeat its not quite the same!

Depends on what time it's on. It's on basic Setanta so most pubs that do the live football will have it. Some hotels may have it as well if you're staying over. I'm not aware of what pubs in Liverpool will be open if the fight is only on at 4am but there should be plenty with it on if the fight is at 2am. I'm sure those that are having it on will advertise it outside.

They are due in the ring at 3.10am, this corresponds to the time HBO coverage starts in the US.

For the record this is a tough one to call, a real 50/50 fight, the fact that its in Vegas means it is likely Joe will have to stop Hopkins which I just can't see happening.

I take Hopkins on split decision.

Hopkins 7th round KO.

People who know nothing about boxing should think before they post, maybe this will stop you from future foolishness.

If you have alook at my recent calls ive been pretty much spot on.

But hey dont let that get in your way

Hopkins isn't a concussive puncher and never has been at the highest level, this will go to points.

48 wins 32 by way off KO.

Think the occasion will get to JC.

He has fought Taylor and lost twice, he was murdered by Winkey and got a shocking call, he beat a Welterweight De La Hoya, Hopkins is no Hagler when it comes to ability, he is not concussive despite his hand picked opponent record stating otherwise.

As easy a fight to call as the Haye knock out of Macarenelli was IMO.

Can't see any other outcome other than a points decision for Joe. I just can't see either knocking the other out and both their records back that up. With it going the distance I don't see the controversy others are predicting and see Joe taking it by 2, 3 or 4 rounds.

Calzaghe in Round 10

Hopkins is past it.

Its got Points decision for Calzaghe written all over it this fight. 5/6 pretty decent odds imo.

Hopkins has a punchers chance... and the fact he likes southpaws concerns me slightly... but I also believe him to be utterly overrated, building his rep on over blown welterweights... think he will struggle to contain Joe... I hope the cocky get gets stopped in 8 but I suspect points. With BHop looking like he's had his but handed to him after 12...

Dose anybody have setanta on freeview i only ask because when i tried to watch the woods v tarver fight last week setanta went of at 3am and the message on the screen told me to tune to channel 38 to watch the fight but when i did nothing happend so consequently i missed the fight just wondering if anyone could help me out befor i settle down for tonights fight and the same happens.
ive already tried ringing setanta but got the usual message of due to high number of calls plese call back on monday.

A points decision for a British boxer in America, fighting an American, we can but dream. Joe will have to stop to win.

Calzaghe put on his in Round 1.

Oh dear, Enzo is swearing like a trooper at Joe now.

He's still behind and we are at "half-time" in the bout.

Sounds like he's getting whacked.

He is, but Hopkins has been a bit of a house at times as well.

What's the judges scores?

Dunno, but Richie Woodhall has Hopkins ahead.

Nice (if unpopular) tactics from Hopkins there, gave him the rest he needed but it was definitely a low blow.

Can see Hopkins nicking this. Calzaghe has been more energetic but Hopkins' punch economy has been very good, landing fewer but possibly better punches.

Too close to call after round 10.
