Calzaghe, Hopkins set light heavyweight bout for April in Vegas

[TRON]

The bout for Hopkins' Ring magazine light heavyweight championship will be Calzaghe's first fight at light heavyweight after 21 consecutive world title defenses at super-middleweight. After unifying three world titles by taking the WBA and WBC titles from Mikkel Kessler on Nov. 4 to move his record to 44-0, Calzaghe knew he had to move up a division to take on Hopkins.

I really haven't seen mich of Calzaghe. I was following Jeff Lacy on showtime leading up to that fight. The fact that Calzaghe dominated Lacy is impressive to me.

I really want to catch this fight.

I do too - IMO boxing has been more exciting in the last 12-24 mos., even without any heavyweight presence.
