CALZAGHE DOES THE EXPECTED - HALTS MANFREDO IN 3... by George Elsasser
Time of TKO 1:30 mark of numero tres - and Peter can protest the premature stoppage all he wants, says here he made the trip across the pond for a portion of the take that only a gathering of some 30 thousand or more Welsh loyalist would provide - not to mention local PPV suckers as well.
Calzaghe played it close to the vest in opening stanza before picking up the pace in number two - come round three he began laying it all out on the table - the punches were coming in bunches from body to head and back again.
Plenty names were tossed about for the winner - Hopkins, Taylor, Kessler … and did I hear Jones?  Guess is we will see Calzaghe again - in a real fight.

CALZAGHE AFTER TAYLOR FIGHT... by Ben Dirs
"...We're offering Jermain Taylor £3m to fight Joe in July, and American television network HBO have talked about fighting Bernard Hopkins in January, so we'll see what happens."
Warren also scoffed at the idea that Calzaghe needs to go to America to prove himself as a great fighter. "Guys want to get paid big money, so you go where you can generate the money," said Warren.

PETER MANFREDO JR.: UP AGAINST THE WORLD ON SATURDAY... by Tom Dickey
Manfredo has a monumental task in front of him on Saturday. Calzaghe is unlike any other fighter that he's faced, quicker and slicker too. The last couple of guys Manfredo faced were anything but quick. In those fights, speed seemed to be Manfredo's biggest advantage. He will not have this advantage on Saturday. Manfredo's best bet will probably be to turn the fight into an ugly brawl, and even that won't be an easy task. Despite taunts that Calzaghe slaps with his punches, Calzaghe can punch, just ask Jeff Lacy of Byron Mitchell.

JOE CALZAGHE BLASTS BACK AT PETER MANFREDO JR.
"To be honest, I've heard it all before," said Calzaghe, who aims to make the 20th defence of his world title and equal the record of Larry Holmes and Bernard Hopkins.
"Like everyone else who has come into the ring thinking they are going to beat me, Manfredo will go home defeated. I'm going to knock him out and then I'm going after Jermain Taylor and Bernard Hopkins."
