I think you are right. Taylor vs AA could go either way to be fair. Froch should be able to break Direll down, maybe stop him late or take a points win. Direll stands an outside chance if he can do a stick and run job for 12 rounds but I doubt he can. Kessler will do a number on Ward.
I agree with all this. :thumbsup Taylor - Abraham is very much a toss-up fight that could go either way IMO. Froch will probably be too strong and too tough for the inexperienced and untested Dirrell ,but if Andre truly is the goods there's the slight possibility that if he stays consistent with his gamplan he could outbox the cruder Froch. And Ward is just going to get smashed by Kessler. I just don't see anything in Ward that could prevent Kessler from beating the living **** out of him.
I think Taylor will beat Abraham I really do, Abraham is too inactive unlike Froch and although he punches hard Taylor will out box him through the most part.
I see Ward possibly out boxing Kessler as good as Kessler is Calzaghe proved a high pace and a varied game plan will confuse the Dane. But with this fight on home territory Ward has to win big and have a huge margin over Kessler if this is going to points. Ward is who i'm tipping to win the whole thing i think he is the best all rounder by for out of the 6.
Ward is a naturally gifted fighter with tremendous athletic ability. Does he have a chance at beating Kessler? Sure but it probably won't happen. Kessler is a versatile fighter and is by no means the rigid, stand-up fighter that many would have you believe he is. Kessler is an excellent mover in the ring and is a top-notch operator when it comes to angles. The geometry of the fight if you will. His jab is a hurtful punch and he throws plenty of combinations. Just ask Librado Andrade. Ward's taking a huge step up in class here. Obviously until now it's looked as though Ward is fighting in another stratosphere but that's because of the discrepancy between he and his opposition. Now he's fighting a guy in Kessler who can neutralize him in ways that a crude fighter like Miranda couldn't. Ward always looks comfortable and in complete control in the ring so now we'll see how he reacts to being out of that comfort zone.
:huh First i gave credit to both fighters and all the fans here. Then i stated that Kessler could win a big UD, in a very competitive fight, because he is so good to win a single round. (maybe only lost 10 rounds in 41 fights). Or the fight could be much like the Mundine- Kessler fight, a close UD win, because i see some similarity to Mundine and Ward. Did i say Kessler would win after 10 seconds in round 1 ?. Read before you hate !
Ward has never boxed 12 hard rounds....Kessler is used to be in big fights. But IMO Kessler is the better fighter,Great ringgeneral ship,Great jab,And he is used to big stages. I think it will be a hard fight,with Kessler as the winner by UD or TKO!!
Im leaning towards Ward. Kessler has fought nobody, and the only fighter he fought who is as gifted as Ward was Joe, and we also saw how Joe outclassed him. Sorry, fighting Eurobums for 2 years does not keep you sharp. We will see.
