Joe Calzaghe vs. Mikkel Kessler
Cardiff, Wales
168 lbs
Mike Ortega
WBC/WBA/WBO Super Middleweight Championship
Calzaghe unifies three 168 lb. belts in front of a huge and fevered home crowd in a tense, tactical affair. He would go on to light heavyweight laurels against Bernard Hopkins and a faded Roy Jones. Kessler, for his part, has never seemed quite the same, losing badly to Andre Ward and then temporarily retiring due to an eye injury suffered in a close win against Carl Froch.
