what kinda effect will it have on joe?

Calzaghe revels in it. I percieve JC trying to play up to the crowd to be a bigger risk than him being overwhelmed by it.

 

Calzaghe's too experienced to let that get to him. If he loses, it won't be because he let the stage get to him.

 

It makes no difference. He is awesome at home, ruthless abroad.

 

It wont get to him that much. I expect him to perform well regardless where the fight is held.

 

He pimped slapped Manfredo Infront of 35,000 so 60,000 + will give him powa!

 

Joe is so relaxed about things these days, he'll take it all in his stride. One thing's for sure, the occasion will not get to Calzaghe. He's used to this and feels comfortable with large crowds. The only small worry I have about Joe is that the adrenalin will be pumping and he might do something rash quite early... but then again, he's learnt that particular lesson I think.

I think the more relevent question will be how Kessler handles a massive hostile crowd away from his comfort zone. If he can handle this, he can handle anything.

 

Kessler don't seem to worry about fightin in Cardiff, the ring is the same, and i dont think it will influence on he's game. He's so cold so wacth out Calzaghe!

 

We don't know this for sure. It'll be interesting to see how he deals with it.

 

The Bika fight mate.

 

That was before the Bika fight... it was more frustration than anything else.

 

there was an incident whilst training for the lacy fight where he damaged his hand and apparently broke down, then his dad laid into him and told him something along the lines of 'you'll be forever known as a ducker if you drop out of this fight'.
