~ SUPER SIX WORLD BOXING CLASSIC - R1 is over as Ward dominates Kessler ~

Ward is the weakest out of that lineup imo. The difference is that Kessler has fought championship caliber boxers and Ward has not, so Kessler has experience on his side even though he's been inactive. Ward is chinny and sometimes puts himself in a position to brawl, if he trys to outbrawl Kessler, he will get knocked out. I don't think he's that good, Dirrell is certainly more talented than Ward.

 

Ward is the weaking out of the line-up??:?

Just because you fought on championship level still doesnt give you a pass IMO...Kessler may have the experiene but does he have the ability to win...IMO he doesnt...He looked confused when Calzaghe turned up the heat on him...Ward may not have fought on a championship level but what I've seen from him as of lately...Ward does have the tools and the skills needed to give Kessler hell. Kessler is also known for having a slow pace...Kessler also has a weakness for body shots (which Calzaghe exploited when he hurt Kessler to the body) I can go on all do on why I feel Ward will give Kessler a run for his and\or beat him.:good

 

Maybe Taylor won't disappoint for once? AA isn't a whirlwind so Taylor may not gas. I think it comes down to whether AA can get to Taylor's body early on. Also, Taylor has been in against much better competition but this will be a step up for AA. Still, pining my hopes on Taylor? ...... :roll:

 

I sure hope you're right...Taylor pisses me off because he has the talent but he's kinda fallen off a little bit...I want to pick him against AA but I just got a hunch he will do a damn good job in the first half of the fight and then begin to go on to do something stupid in the tail end of the fight...I'm hoping and praying that I'm wrong but I cant overlook that fact about Taylor! **** sucks man! I sure hope Taylor proves me wrong for his own sake!

 

The smart money is on Arthur, but let's face it - - - - when it comes to my favorite fighters --- I just ain't all that smart:bart

Just one more time I'm going to believe Jermain will "fight smart." Abraham has never been anywhere near a fighter like JT. On paper AA is barely qualified to wash Jermain's car. That could make a huge difference. Jermain has faced current, future, or former world champions in 9 of his last 9 fights. 3 fights against undeafeated opponents, 2 fights with an ATG, and one fight with a sure fire hall of fame member. Abraham has been eating a steady diet of bum sandwiches. No outcome will surprise me. JT at his best would beat Abraham 120-108. What we do not know is if Taylor can rise from the ash heap, and put on a solid performance.

 

I agree on all accounts:good..On paper, Taylor is miles ahead of AA IMO.Like I told Hermit...I sure hope Taylor proves me wrong when he enters this tournament.

 

You are making stuff up. Kessler does not have a slow pace quite on the contrary he is very active. What do you base Kesslers weakness to bodyshots on? The one Kidney punch in the Calzaghe fights? That does not make a strong case I have never ever seen Kessler hurt to the body in his entire pro career. Kessler has fought faster fighters than Ward in Mundine and he did not trouble Kessler at all even though he went into that fight with a back injury.
You're obviously a Ward fan and that's cool, but Ward will not win this fight. He will get Knocked out in a bad way imo.

We should do a bet on this fight if you're so confident in Ward :hey

 

Andre Ward to pull the miraculous upset. :happy

 

a **** load of people are going to lose their 0 in the 1st round

 

How in the hell am I making stuff up when I say Kessler fights at a slow pace?

Just because you think so doesnt mean its totally false...and its clear as day that you're a Kessler fan so we both can play that game. Mundine?:rofl...Please...He's not on the level of Ward...You guys kill me with this...Kessler is this unstoppable GOD that cant beaten...Since he lost to Calzaghe he's yet to do anything worth mentioning...Ward is still vastly improving believe it or not...Given, that you're rididng hight on Kessler...since he lost to Calzaghe...what else of note has he done...I dont think fighting pointless Mando's doesnt add up to much...To top it off he's been out of the ring for some time now...You're talking like Kessler has beaten some top notch fighters...Mundine, Beyer...lets see...who else should I add to the list since you're overrating Kessler.:huh

Something else about Kessler that you fail to mention...His ability to adapt or come up with another game plan...if the fight isnt going his way...Kessler doesnt seem to rethink his gameplan...When he was tested...I fail to see him adapt and switch things up...If does that against Ward...i will assure you that Ward will make his ass pay...Ward fights out of either stance and he does have the tools and skills to upset Kessler who's been very inactive.

I'm willing to make a avatar bet with you.

 

Cool you're on. We have a bet. If I loose I'll accept a pic of youre choice for three months and vice versa :good

Kessler has Beaten Andrade as well 120-118 a killer fight. He took out Manny Siaca for his first title. And yes I am a Kessler fan, but I do not think that he is an unstoppable boxing god. Hopkins would give him hell, Dawson Vs. Kessler would be 50/50, Arthur Abraham would have a decent shot at beating Kessler as well, but Ward... No chance in hell. He's just not ready. He will get his ass handed to him :deal

 

Abraham-Froch-Kessler

 

Fair enough...I counting on you to remember our avatar bet...The winner chose the avatar of choice and the loser must wear it for a week! Deal?

 

For a week? Oh come on at least for a month

I won't pick any outlandish **** for you if I win :smoke

 

:rofl **** it...sense you say that..I guess we can bump it up for a month!:good
