There's a big showdown Saturday night and I'm not talking about Game One between the Rockets and Jazz.

It's in the ring between Bernard Hopkins and Joe Calzaghe.   Both of these guys mean business and i expect this to be the fight of the year (so far).

Calzaghe is from Great Britain and promises to prove himself the best boxer pound for pound.   The super middleweight champ says, "I'm going to kick his butt in front of all his fans.  I'll smash him to pieces and show everyone just how good I really am."

Dems fighting words!

The 41yr old Hopkins is a legend and future HOFer.  "The Executioner"  always brings his Philly flavor to the squared circle.  He's won his last two fights, beating Winky Wright and Antonio Tarver for the light heavyweight title.

I watched a preview to this bout and let me tell ya, it's gonna be a donny brook in Sin City!

It's not TV.  It's HBO.
