    Just for your info guys,

    In regard to the fight shown on the Calzaghe Clan, James had not seen Enzo Calzaghe for almost 6 weeks, he locked him out of the gym as he needed to change the times he trained. He then turned up to meet Enzo before the fight and was stood up, he made his way to the fight on his own. Enzo then turned up 30 minutes before the fight, hence the tension between the two. Someone else had warmed Toddy up, Enzo turned up without any kit and in a suit. It may have come across as arrogant but James was furious with Enzo and just didn't want to have it out right before a fight. After the fight Enzo was no where to be seen but he made sure he got his cut of the purse.

    In regards to James Todd, he is a good kid that works hard, he has had an opportunity put in front of him that maybe has come a little early but it would be crazy to turn down, he is a slow starter and struggles over the 4 round distance, had the fight with Peters been a 6 rounder he would have got the stoppage, and many believe he won the fight anyway. Peter may have been a debutant but he had 145 amateur fights winning 136 of them.

    Yes it is a tough fight against a more experienced opponent, but it is better for him than a 4 rounder against a 6-0 kid he has to knockout to beat.

    Give the kid some credit, boxers these days are quick to turn down any fights that are tough, and are more happy to fight tin cans until they are 20-0. James jumped at this chance and will give it his all, give the kid credit where it is deserved.
