    Joe would outbox slow starting Saad first half but could Saad with his amazing recuperating powers comeback to stop Joe or earn a decision over 12 rounds ?

    Joe Calzaghe might not have made a bad light heavyweight had he moved up younger and slowly progressed.. But moving up in the ACTUAL sense that he did at age 36 would have made this a mismatch against a presumably prime Saad.

    Calzaghe would trouble Saad with his speed, lefty stance and workrate. Saad would work the body and utilize lead rights. As the fight progresses, Saad's substantial advantages in physical strength and power begin to take a toll on a slowing Calzaghe. Conversely, Saad gets busier and stronger as the fight goes on. Around the 10th round, Saad stuns Joe with an uppercut. His killer instinct kicks in and he pours in power punches from his considerable arsenal. The referee stops the fight with Joe helpless on the ropes.

    Saad would drop joe in round 1.

    at that point, it depends. in cardiff with joes paid ref,, joe lashes out weak ineffective misses that Saad laughs at and then joe turns to his ref to ask him to stop it, being immediately awarded a mysterious tko.

    anywhere else saad moves in and keeps on beating up his hammersmith born arsz.
