Kessler vs Calzaghe.a little update

Are they about Taylor being accused of ducking the winner?

 

we won't move on...not even after the fight, for a long time!

 

I don't think you are viewing this objectively. If you were HBO, wouldn't you want to spread these fights out by more than a week? And considering that Taylor/Pavlik has been agreed in principle (we'll see) longer than JC/MK, doesn't it make sense that their date would be more locked in?

While JC/MK is a great matchup, JT/KP is a very good one, and 160 holds more glamour than 168. I agree with you that the European fight is more significant based on Calzaghe's proven accomplishments, but it's not so silly for HBO to want separation.

 

hmmm... I think two excellent fights in the space of eight days creates some momentum for HBO's less glamorous fights.

Then do it on the 29th, how hard can it be. Move it back or forth a week.

 

At least we are getting SOME news and possitive news at that.

 

It's not that easy if it's to be held in the Millennium Stadium (a much mooted venue) - the stadium hosts a Rugby World Cup Quarter Final on the 6th October so the logistics would be a bit of a nightmare (pitch problems being the major one)

Move it to Wembley Stadium!

 

I´ve heard of Eleanor "Rigby" - but what is "rugby"?

You must have seen American 'football' (NOT played with the foot, and NOT played with a ball )

Take away the helmets and all of that pansy-protecting gear and it would become more of a man's game, much like rugby.

Hope that clears up things for you.

 

There's no hope cuchulain.. Nice try though - I read Angela's Ashes, Cuchulain was in that - Is it something everyone knows in Ireland?

 

OK, ... move it to Wembley then. Wembley is already far better and would attract far more money-weilding foreigners to the fight if they can fly to London and have some fun there at the same time. Who really wants to go to Cardiff?
