In the end they both got done by Super-Middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe.

I am looking forward to seeing if he can be lured out of the Millennium Stadium to face Bernard Hopkins

Really pleased Calzaghe won the award. I think he deserved this.

Fantastic boxer in my opinion. He will always have the people who say he hasn't proved anything, he is class though.

Also, a very entertaining fighter to watch, unlike so many in this sport these days.

What ever happened to that guy? He was entertaining. He gets waxed one time and I never saw him fight again. He was only like 21 too.

He's probably 34 or so now. His first loss took the wind right out of his sails. He also went away on vacation for a bit. Put on a ton of weight. Stereotypical situation -- gets a bit older, quality of opponents gets a bit tougher, and the dominant style, etc. doesn't work as well or at all.

I think Prince Naseem served a small amount of time in one of Her Majesty's Hotels for causing a road traffic accident, whilst under the influence.

I went to the match (on someone else's dime of course) and I gotta tell you, it was really a great fight and very entertaining. Two truly excellent boxers who fought clean and hard.
