Joe Calzaghe's light-heavyweight title win over Bernard Hopkins will be screened in full on BBC TWO on Sunday. Calzaghe extended his remarkable record to 45 wins from 45 fights after a split decision over the American. Thousands of Welshmen travelled to Las Vegas for the fight and were joined at ringside by celebrities including Beyonce and Catherine Zeta-Jones. You can see the bout in its entirety on BBC TWO on Sunday from 1200-1300 BST, with commentary coming from Jim Neilly.
duke mckenzie i do not rate as much, barry mcguigan called it right he said joes toughest fight and he will not be able to box like he usually does and may have to pick himself off the floor, but sees joe by UD or SD. barrys predictions are normally bang on
The Duke is even enforcing the BBC to play the fight backwards to make it look like Hopkins scored a last round KO.
Hopefully it sticks. It's good for mainstream guys to get a peak. Showing such a big fight at 12.00 is moronic. I'd still show it at a reasonably peak time, even 10.30 to 11.
BHops did ruin it, he never comes to fight. Nevertheless it's a major event, it's history, it's a British fighter etc
