    I've noticed his jabs don't have the same pop they used to and he was never really a power puncher to begin with. Though I give him the advantage in this fight, it will have its rough spots. Cal's got his work cut out for him, but his speed and exp should pull him through.

    Yes Cal's got the arm length of a black man stuck in a Welsh torso.

    Is that just a little bit of cold feet I see there, China Joe?

    I agree. ..bad style matchup for Kessler. The jab and right hand aren't going to be enough.
