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

Calzaghe didnt give Kessler many awkward angles. The 5th round, he came out straight up, and pretty much beat Kessler at his own game, a jab and a straight left behind it. Only when Kessler morale was torn to shreds then Calzaghe started to really put it on him. Ward isnt as good as Calzaghe in terms of movement, but he's on that plane of movement, and I see it giving Kessler fits being a rhthym fighter. Its why Marquez got Pacquiao in trouble. He was able to break up his rhythm.

Again, Calzaghe did not hit Kessler with any stiff jabs. If those little flick shots, where he doesnt even extend is arm fully hurt Kessler, then Kessler is in more trouble then I originally thought. If he doesnt respect Wards jab, Ward will start piling up the rounds like Ihop piles up pancakes.

atsch Your amount of posts on here may fool others into thinking you know boxing, but I know better. You're just a delusional hip hop loving fanboy who thinks ward beats kessler because he's black and kess is white. FACT!

Calzaghe has an underrated and very snappy jab.

This content is protected

His jab has snapped back the head of every opponent he has faced. Do not listen to Kellerman.

Ward throws his from too far away and he doesn't punch through his target with it much.

Calzaghe jabs with the other hand.

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.

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.

No. he doesn't!

I am an idiot regardless.

I googled "Calzaghe jab" and I trusted google.

I even looked to check it was a left hand and therefore a jab.
