Calzaghe injury against Ashira forces cancellation of Lacy bout

Joe Calzaghe has proven true to form. He beat an unworthy contender to defend his WBO belt for the 17th time. Just as many expected, however, a new obstacle to his impending title unification match with Jeff Lacy was discovered as Calzaghe “injured” his hand. So many predicted something that would keep the two from meeting each other in the ring. Lacy should just move on and try to lure Mikkel Kessler or Markus Beyer into the ring to consolidate some more belts. Of course those of us looking forward to a Calzaghe-Lacy showdown are disappointed but definitely not surprised. Back to the drawing board.
