    It's alright I guess. Kind of close though.

    I had it 117-111 for Calzaghe - could also see 116-112 no problem

    9-3 or 8-4 is a OK card IMO. HBO didn;t have it wider though they had it 9-3.

    From my point of view Calzaghe won at least 8 rounds.

    116 - 112. So no. Poor judging.. Danish paper, enough said. However Kessler is still a great fighter, and every great fighter lose, but it's how they pick themself up that counts.
    Kessler still has the world at his feet, but it's up to him what he wants to do about it!

    HBO 10 rounds Calzaghe to 2 Kessler, a shutout decision and the safe bet on the more experienced, crafty hometown Champion proves to be the a never incorrect formula for this kind of match-ups. The one on Kessler would have been that wild, thank you Joe Calzaghe and now, get your arse off the British islands for a Super Super-Middleweight/Light-Heavyweight Showdown with Bernard Hopkins, will you?

    I had it 8-4 Calzaghe. I could see 7-5 but nothing more. And 7-5 is really pushing it.

    Calzaghe has also lost.. Not as a pro, but as an amateur.. In Czech... Prag...
    Look how he picked himself up!
    That's a true champ.
    Although I'm a Kessler fan, and I truly felt Kessler could hurt him (I thought he did a couple of times) he met a better fighter..
    Kessler though, will be a massive fighter in many years to come, I'm sure :)

    As a Kessler fan, there's no way in hell you could score the fight 7-5.. Joe was just WAY to busy..
    I thougt 116-112 was fair, and that's how I scored it. No biased.

    Kessler record as an amateur was 47 bouts 44 wins.
    I've heard that about Cal but I've yet to have it confirmed. However he lost in Prag and went out to Enzo and said " I'll never lose again".. Amazing :)
