http://www.southwalesargus.co.uk/sp....ill_slap_dane_to_the_canvas_joe_calzaghe.php Kessler's getting the slap of doooooom.
It's a good thing Kessler isn't Japanese. "Slap a Jap" has not been socially acceptable for over sixty years now.
Loved the part where he critcises Hopkins and Wright. "only threw about four punches each" brilliant stuff!!
My hand speed will be too much for him on the night and I love fighting orthodox European boxers, it suits me down to the ground. :good
I'll 'slap' Dane to the canvas - Joe Calzaghe Like he has done so often before...? Calzaghe 2 K.O / 30 TKO Calzaghe since Eubank: 21-11 last 25: ( 25-15 ) last 11: ( 11-5 ) Kessler last 21: 21-17 last 25: ( 25-21 ) last 11: ( 11-9 ) -CALZAGHE- Points: 11 K.O: 2 TKO: 30 -KESSLER- Points: 10 K.O: 18 TKO: 11
hmm. So Joe is going to America to support Hatton is he?:think Its that anglo-welsh boxing love-in going on again! What have I always said here, the englanders & the taffs are boxing bedfellows
Calzaghe also went to cheer on Alex Arthur against Gogoladze... http://sport.scotsman.com/topics.cfm?tid=687&id=1134212007 And according to Arthur he became mates with Gomez after the fight... "But it wasn't all negative. Michael Gomez [who stopped Arthur in five rounds at Meadowbank in 2003] has become one of my biggest fans and phones me nearly every week to advise and encourage me. "Gomez [pictured below] not only told me that I'm the best fighter and hardest puncher that he ever fought, but also that he believes I have nothing to fear from Barrera should I fight him next year for the world title. "In addition, Michael is aware of my acting ambitions and, as they are about to make a movie of Gomez's life, I could make my acting debut in that.'' http://news.scotsman.com/topics.cfm?tid=687&id=1929772006 But it gets better he refers to Ricky Hatton as his mate... "Arthur revealed: "I've just concluded a sponsorship deal with the Lonsdale boxing equipment company and I will be modelling boxing gear in their new catalogue where I will be joining my world champion mate from Manchester, Ricky Hatton, in modelling photoshoots. :happy
