Super Six: Kessler vs Ward

thats because you're always hedge betting "i think he will win, but won't be surprised if he won" :nono

and i always go out on a limb after breaking it down, give me a definitive answer after a thorough analysis so i can look forward to bumping it too. :yep:good

 

what I like about you Mandanda is, the rest of the forum will be going at each other, discussing and rating naked pictures or just going off on other tangents etc then you sneak in the room spitting the sweet science. My type of guy. :good

 

no it wasn't aimed at you, anyway you're not the one who asks for those pictures, really i like the pictures i was just trying to make a point :good

 

you're right he's not as robotic as typical euro fighters, but he's still comes in straight lines and will look robotic against someone who switch hits effectively, throws short shots in combinations when Kessler engages, slipping and rolling and has a tight defence, I can't see Kessler wearing him down as much as i see him being thrown off by a unorthodox southpaw for the second time in his career.

At the same time Ward is not Calzaghe by any stretch and does someone like miranda prepar him for kessler? the big question is how well ward takes one of kesslers big shots because as you said kessler will catch at least a couple of times with big shots even if ward is running away with the fight kessler is to good not to have his moments, kessler might have to knock him out to win.

Having said that i can't see his two year resume (post Calzaghe) getting him ready for the slickness coming his way. It willl be interesting though...I'm phening like a crack addict to watch Ward pot shot him and see if Mikkel has a plan B as Calzaghe somewhat exposed Kesslers one trick plan A.

 

Damn, I'm forgetting about the man who could be the last one standing and that's the King Armenian. I always liked his working behind a Shell style of using the others aggression against them. But he could easily be in a little too deep here because not only do we have some slick boxers that won't come in like a Miranda, but we also have heavy handed guys like Froch and Kessler. Who knows, AA is a live pitbull in the doberman kennel. oh maan, I have to wait till October for this.
