The under-card is over and Joe Calzaghe and Roy Jones Jr. are getting ready to head to the ring. The tale of the tape has them basically even in height, weight and reach. Calzaghe is three years younger than Jones. Jones comes to the ring first. He promised to come out to a song he recorded himself, but it is hard to hear over the crowd. Calzaghe is up second. His current period of inactivity is the longest of his career.

Saturday 3rd November 2007, the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff - There can be no doubt now Calzaghe is King! In front of 50,000 adoring fans, Joe Calzaghe delivered a Millennium Stadium master-class - a furious, fabulous performance of pace, power and electric intensity to unify the World super middleweight division. To do it Calzaghe had to rip the WBC and WBA belts from unbeaten Dane Mikkel Kessler. Both men went to war in a quite breathtaking 12 rounds of nerve-shredding excitement. The blurring hand speed of Calzaghe proved decisive as he took his unbeaten record to 44 fights - 21 of them world title defences! In his decade of dominance, Calzaghe has never had to dig so deep. Kessler was class but the judges? scorecards confirmed the undeniable excellence of the Welsh warrior. The judges scored it: John Stewart (USA) 116-112 Massimo BarrovecchIo (Italy) 116-112 Raul Caiz (USA) 117-111 The result was unanimous - Calzaghe was the better man he always is!
