Joe Calzaghe, UK, 9-0-0 (8) vs. Denver Ed Smith, UK, 9-4-0 (5)

The Pride of Wales makes his debut under his new management team, the U.K. Boxing Group. Joe will also be under the sole guidance of his father for the first time in the professional ranks, which played a big part in the partnership with his new group. Calzaghe starts off fast and does a fine job of avoiding Smith’s attack, 12-4. The 2nd is the same as the previous round, 12-4, as Smith has trouble landing any relevant blows. Calzaghe lands a three-punch combo followed by a humbling cross that momentarily stuns Denver Ed. Joe takes the 4th, 22-3. Denver Ed just cannot get off first as he is always eating leather, 4-14, here in the 5th. The fight slows down in the 6th as both fighters do more holding than punching. A combination puts Smith down at the end of the 8th but Denver Ed is able to get up and finish the round. Calzaghe is in complete control, 19-1, here in the 10th, as Smith looks completely drained at this point. 17-4 in favor of Calzaghe in the 11th. Calzaghe completely dominates the last four rounds as the fight goes to the cards for the second time in his pro career.

Winner: Calzaghe
Result: (UD15)
Cards: 149-135, 149-135, 147-138, all in favor of Calzaghe.
Punch stats: 44.4% - 29.3% Calzaghe
