Otis Griffin posts on another forum I frequent. So we should be able to get some insight on how things are going in Kessler's camp. He recently sparred with Chad Dawson and posted briefly about his experience in that camp.

I'm interested to know about his experience with Chad Dawson. Can you share this with us?

On Chad Dawson :

3OG said: ↑

I was in the ring sparing Dawson last week to get him ready for Glenn Johnson. Chad is every bit of 6'3. He is also a long boxing south-paw. His effort to eliminate defensive mistakes and maintain good ring generalship will keep him at the top of the division. His best asset is the ablity to change distance with his feet. I say Dawson TKO10. Who you got?!

3OG said: ↑

Chad has some decent pop. Diaconu is still the top guy in my book for one punch erase. Chad is a converted south-paw; so his lead hand is the power one. I think because he is so tall he doesn't like to hook w/ you but his jab is like a phone pole coming through your car window! In a 12rd fight he's a guy that's gone chip you away. TKO you after 7.

On Chris Henry being sent home from Dawson camp :

3OG said: ↑

Chris got sent home in one day. Eddie Mustafa was very upset about that. I think Chris is a 70's style fighter. In saying that I mean the things he brings in the ring don't come across in tecnique sparing. His will and ablity to physically wear on someone in 10-12rds can't be shown with 16oz gloves and head-gear. Chad is not easy sparing if you don't play high speed chess.:kick:

On sparring with Mikkel Kessler Today (11-02-09) :

3OG said: ↑

First day of sparing with Kessler. He is in top shape and throws at high volume 80+/round. He doesn't like to spar alot of rounds; he went 6rds today myself and another guy. I went 2 and finished the last w/ him 3 in all. I want lie compared to Chad a walk in the park but he could still be jet lagged.opcorn:

On Kessler's power and speed :

3OG said: ↑

His power is not going to hurt a big guy like myself or Andrade, but because of the high vol of punches could hurt Ward. Hand speed was decent for a guy throwing that much but he better not try and drag race with Andre. Kessler is a guy that has an X-Factor. Must be a pretty good athlete and in great condition. Nov. 14th is a pick'em fight. It will come down to how much Ward respects Kessler and if Kessler can remember what he did to Mundine years ago.

Ward's only chance to win is to cheat and it so appears that that's what he plans on doing, but will it work?

Not if he doesn't know about it. Something tells me it's pretty unlikely that he's reading this thread either. The fighters out of the Wild Card Gym won't help anymore than the fighters around Sacramento and the bay area.

Hey, mr fanny. Since you know ****all about boxing i'm sure you know ****all about who will spar who in this sport. Afterall, i'm quite sure a name like kessler will have no problem finding a flashy afro american who hisses after his punches.

Ward is a class act all the way. Hard to believe he's from Oakland He ain't gonna' cheat. Ward has not learned how to lose. Kessler got a whuppin' from Calzaghe. My money says Ward gives Kessler a boxing lesson. We shall see...:good

Isn't there a saying that goes something like "...the higher you fly the deeper you fall...."? Mr. Fanning, you have been flying pretty high on Ward. Let's see come 21st nov.!

Hell yes....I'm not backing down from this. Kessler fans will far further. And I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that this place will be a ghost town November 22nd. Andre Ward is going to give Mikkel Kessler the BEATING of his life.

who the hell does ward have to simulate kessler is the real question?

do you really need a sparring partner anymore when you have done 12 rounds with calzaghe? he should get the quickstepper himself back to the states to help out his supposed successor.

Oh damn, this one's simple. We can quickly conclude that you haven't been in any boxing gyms.

Ward's only chances to win are due to about 20 different reasons, none of them pertaining to ANY bull**** that you are ever spewing. I'll do you one better....Ward is going to KO Kessler. After that....SHUT YOUR MOUTH!

Well their is Linbrado Andrade who was born in Mexico. But grew up in LA county if your looking for a Supermiddleweight. Mikkel Kessler and him should know each other. And of course Vargas is a middleweight.

Have you seen a recent pic of Vargas?
