Mikkel Kessler has always been overrated and when Andre Ward defeats him,Kessler will be exposed as another hype job who was overhyped all along
Yeah and that's why he claimed 3 world titles by knocking out opposition and landed more punches on Calzaghe than the school teacher of Kelly Pavlik could. Your stupidity is exposed. If Ward beats Kessler, it will be only the proof that he was a Gold medallist for a reason, but if he'll lose, I'm sure you're not gonna be here when I bump this thread.
Alright, let's not get silly here. Kessler has fantastic boxing fundamentals. If there is a weakness and the other fighter is also fighting with a style he's seen he will defeat them. However, Calzaghe's unorthodox style (even for a southy) gave him fits. Kessler said it himself post fight : "Joe ruined my boxing". Watch Ward try to repeat the same dizzying tactics to overwhelm Kessler, don't expect him going toe to toe unless he gets close enough to nullify Kessler's straight punches and for Ward to throw his flurries of hooks and uppers and then move completely out of range. I see Ward winning if he can do this, especially if he finds success switching back and forth from Southpaw to Orthodox. If Kessler is able to keep Ward in range and not to close he will bring the boom down with his thudding straight rights all night. Both these men are great fighters and the only one who's going to be exposed here are the critics.
Ward was suppose to be the next Roy Jones! but his career is kinda taking off slow becuase of injuries. If he has Kesslers number, it might help his stock rise.
So if Kessler loses for the second time in 44 fights, he would be exposed?? Kessler was a rare competitive opponent for Calzaghe, beat Beyer who was a decent champion in dominant fashion, was never really in danger of losing in his 42 wins. He does nozlook spectacular, but he is very effective. If Ward beats him, it says a lot about Ward, not much negative about Kessler.
Actually English is one of the more difficult languages to master, but if is your first language, you have no excuse.
Kessler seems to have good power but I have never been that impressed with his boxing skills. If ward can stand up to the power and pressure of Kessler he wins a UD. What worries me is Ward's lack of power will not be enough to keep Kessler honest all night. At some point I see Kessler grinding him down.
kessler is a great champion. he lost to calzaghe, but so did everyone. ward and kessler are in different leagues in terms of class. kessler is gonna knock out this punk
i agree it sounds as if he thinks ward will beat kessler for flashing him. overall regarding the fight i think this is harder to predict than the froch and taylor affairs. namely because ward is rather an unknown quantity, who has looked good but against pretty wank oppo. though saying that i would lean towards kessler, whose experience and more tested chin should prevail.
