That was an excellent about 26 minutes worth of videos recapping the two fighter's careers and their preparation for the fight on the 19th. Even though Hopkins is going through cutting-edge training with that specialist, he's still 43 so I'm going with Calzaghe in a decision. It makes for a very interesting matchup...I just hope it proves to be that in the ring.

Decent boxing on last night with Ryan Rhodes coming back to win the British title and Pele Reid as usual being knocked out as well as Naseem at ringside looking like he weighs 20st.

If Audrey Harrison wins tonight maybe his next opponent could be Naseem Hamhead.

Joe Calzaghe and Bernard Hopkins went nose-to-nose for the final time before their light-heavyweight clash in Las Vegas on Sunday morning at Friday's weigh-in.

The pair both tipped the scales at 173lb - two pounds under the limit - before tempers flared with Hopkins threatening the Welshman with the line 'I'm going to bust your heart'.

More than 2,000 British fans were present at Planet Hollywood with a further 6,000 expected to attend the fight at the nearby Thomas & Mack Center.

Calzaghe was, for the first time in the build-up, ruffled by Hopkins' taunts, which pleased promoter Frank Warren.

"That is exactly what I wanted to see," he said. "Joe has never been better prepared and I'm confident he will do the job in style."

Calzaghe insists his speed, power and youth - he is seven years younger than Hopkins at 36 - will enable him to adapt to combat any threat thrown at him by the veteran Philadelphian.

"It's up to me not to get drawn into his kind of fight because I am by far the better fighter," he said. "If I allow myself to do that, then I've made a big mistake.

"Bernard is very well schooled. He'll have done his homework and he knows how I like fighters to come to me. He could make it a dirty fight. But as long as I fight to the standards I did against Jeff Lacy and Kessler, it's over.

"Fighting out here has always been my destiny, and now is the perfect time to do it. I could have come over here five years ago but I might not have handled it as well as I am now."
