    Just rewatched Kessler Vs Calzaghe
    That must be one of the best boxing matches in history...

    What pops into my mind is how
    everyone is talking about how fast ward is. But after rewatching the Miranda Vs Ward fight it doesn't seem to me that he is that fast. Is everyone over looking Kessler's speed? We know how fast Calzaghe is and also Calzaghes incredible work rate. But in their fight Kessler matched the speed. He also clearly won the 12th round.

    All I hope for is that it isnt a track contest.
    That Ward doesn't pull a Dirrel. Doesn't matter if he wins or looses, just how he fights.

    Ward will nearly win it IMO, dunno why because Kessler is more powerful and looks faster and Ward keeps his right guard quite low, but yeah Im going with 115-113 Kessler

    I just hope it will be a good fight for the fans. No running please.

    I hope the brilliant PAcman-Cotto ref will referee this one too. He allowed not even the fighters looking as if they may clinch. This is what boxing needs. We don't need another Ottke or Ruiz.

    Thanks Henrik.

    Been away for the weekend. Saw the 360 last night. I was a bit disappointed - very little about Kessler - don't you agree ?

    Hopefully the judges will be fine. More important is to hope fore Kessler being the aggressor, put on pressure, little step forward, jab, long left hook, 1-2, 1-2-3, 1-2-3-4, good footwork and cutting of the ring. And then in a competitive fight a way from home, Kessler has to "perform like a winner".

    Ward will win, hurting Kessler several time "to the body" Kessler will be softened up nicely for Froch to feast on his remains

    What is you take on the 360. A lot of good pre fight inside on the first 2 fights, some decent news about Ward but very very little about Kessler..............?

    I was disappointed too,about 360 last episode..Hopefully after the fight,the tv network will show something about kessler.

    think Kessler knows that he has to be agressive,and dominating in the fight.
    I feel confident that he will win this one,after a great fight:good

    Kessler at his best - is the best.......... Kessler seems very calm and collected, as he was before the Calzaghe fight..:blood

    Expect a very good competitive fight though... :good
