If Andre Ward stays disciplined with his jab, he should beat Kessler easy

Er, isn't that Joe's left? Not his right jab?

This is what we're looking for.

You do realize that thats Calzaghes left and he's a southpaw right?

 

I agree that Ward has the best chance to beat Kessler in the big 6, but this fight is going to be anything but easy for Ward. People forget that he tagged Calzaghe several times, but Calzaghe has a world class chin. Ward won't be so fortunate if he gets hit.

 

Other then the jab thats the other most important key. Ward can box perfect for 12 rounds, but hes gonna get hit sooner or later. If he can handle Kesslers power then he'll be in great shape

 

Having computer problems.

Fixed now.

Great post. I see Ward taking this fight as well. I am very surprised that so many are picking Kessler. This is the fight Goosen wanted for Ward in the first round. Ward is the worst matchup for Kessler in this tourney.

 

I agree...if he can handle kessler's power he can win. I think he will do well early, but I see Kessler getting to him in the mid to late rounds and eventually knocking him out. Kessler's only loss is to a fighter who no one was able to figure out. Kessler also had problems with his right hand as well during that fight. Expect the best version of both fighters to show up though. Should be a tremendous fight.

 

Stop talking **** Spunki

 

Just because you post a long thread doesn't mean it means you know this sport. you're just another biased hip hop fanboy who thinks kessler will lose because he's white then you'll logoff never to be seen again sunday morning. Listen eminem, ward hasn't proven he could last with a steiglitz, andrade, a green, or a froch. What makes you think he can last w/ an elite like kessler. Kessler hasn't done **** since calzaghe? Dumbass, he did more than ward 5 times over before he fought calzaghe. Wards been beating pudwill's, camou's, kost's, and wilson's..............and beat by decision a shop worn miranda who sucked to begin with. Kessler's been beating world champs when ward was just starting to fight without headgear. And another thing boy, experience means almost everything in the pros. The ams are one thing, the pros entirely another.
Your post is full of bias, and bull. No substance to it at all.

 

Yeah, Ward is black but he's also half white. So even in a racists' mind he's half right. Put your money on Ward, it's the smart thing to do.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

Stieglitz? Andrade? Green? Froch? You know that out of those guys Kesslers only fought Andrade, and I'd consider each and everyone one of them C class fighters at best. And you remember that Green lost to Miranda dont you?

Fact is, even though Ward is only 25, his resume is not that much far apart from Kesslers. kessler beat a shop worn Beyer, Mundine, Andrade and thats about it. Neither one would I consider elite, they were sad to say this, paper champs, much like Karol Balzay or Stieglitz.

And what makes Kessler elite? Elite level is guys like Calzaghe. He got pummeled by a true elite. Kessler is good. He hasnt done anything to get that distinction. His resume is hella weak in comparison to someone like Chad Dawson.

Experience wont win this fight. Skills and Will only.

 

The uppercut could be very worrysome for Ward too when he tries to get inside. Calzaghe took some bombs....does Ward have the chin to take those kind of shots? We'll see.

 

Hatton was more competitive because the fight was dead even after 6 rounds. Calyaghe won 116 112 with Kessler.
