    :lol: You think a guy as talented and well rounded as Ward is going to lose 11 rounds to 1?

    Ward hasnt lost Amatuer or Pro since 1998....hes become used to winning.

    Kessler is used to winning at B level.

    Ward has A level potential, he has a decent pop on his punches up close especially to the body. He can t macyh Calzaghes volume but he can match finesse and body punching.

    Home advantage is big, Kessler is a good fighter but hes one of the best of a recently poor bunch of supermiddle era.

    This era already looks far better in quality than Calzaghes Era.

    I love reading post on how Kessler is just going to walk through this tourney...People are seriously overrating Kessler and they're underrating the fighters that are in the tourney...Since Kessler lost to Calzaghe...he hasnt done anything of note IMO...Dont get me wrong...Kessler is a good fighter but he gets a little overrated by some.

    Of course Ward stands a chance. He proved against Miranda that he's a player at 168.

    :patsch So just because he didnt KO Miranda, that should be held against him? Did you even watch the fight? I know Miranda isnt anything special but Miranda has shown he has KO power...The way he beat Miranda was a thing of beauty...He bullied the bully while taking the power shots very well...The way he swithced up stance from southpaw to orthodox was keeping him off balance.

    Given that Kessler is not good at coming up with a second or third Gameplan...How could you possibily say that Kessler is going to damn near shut Ward out?

    For you to say something this crazy makes me think you've never watched Ward fight...How can somebody as talented as Ward be the weakest link?

    It kills me how increasingly hyped up a fighter can become by getting beaten by a very overrated fighter ......SMH

    :lol: Me and you both man...Kessler is a good fighter as I've said before but he gets to much credit for losing to Calzaghe or atleast that what it seems like.
