Kessler very slow? Andre Ward has speed but not the pop. In fact kessler has faced fighters with better speed than Ward, and much better pop. Andre Ward has never faced a worldclass fighter like Kessler who is wellrounded in most areas. So Ward is the one who needs to prove himself.
If Ward has no power that aint good for him against Kessler. Lots of running as Kessler ended up walking straight through Perdermo. Can we look forward to Malignaggi - Hatton type situation???
He took three rounds to dispatch a guy Duddy did in one round. He also didint ever look like stopping Miranda. He is not a puncher.
This wasn't directed at you but to any who crtiticzes Kessler or Ward for looking good against beatable opponents .. But imagine if either man had lost this board would go nuts ..
i wasnt that impressed with ward, TBH, I see Kessler putting on a boxing clinic against ward, and could stop him late...
Yeah, but Duddy is a weight class below and is not exactly a power punsher, Ward hit the guy with plenty and couldnt put him away early. So he isnt a puncher.
Does Ward think his chin and reflexes are that good that he doesn't need to keep his hands up? Kessler will feed him straight rights all night if he doesn't tighten up his defence. Ward is obviously talented but Kessler is technically superior and a much harder puncher, I don't see how the fight will end in anything but crushing defeat for Andre Ward.
Kessler's never faced speed anything CLOSE to Ward's. Ward's seen guys like Kessler, Kessler's never seen a guy like Ward. Pretty much like what Dirrell said last night about himself and Froch.
