    Confidence.

    Miranda is coming off a few big KO wins, Kessler is coming off surgury and a loss.


    thoughts?


    btw I think Kessler beats him but just throwing this out there. Psyche plays a big role in boxing.

    Agree. If something is going to turn this match in Pantera's favour, that is probably it.

    If I had to put money on it, I'd have to say Kessler, but I'd like to see Miranda win.

    Kessler's jab is the "X" factor in that fight ... if he sticks with the jab then he will keep Miranda off track ...

    Kesslers fight to lose. He should finish Miranda in the mid rounds.. Wearing him down with a jab and finishing with that big, accurate right.. Only way Miranda wins is if Kessler allows the fight to be turned into a brawl, or fights sloppy. Very uncharacteristic thing there.

    Kessler may be coming off surgery and a loss but I don't think this will affect his mentality in a negative way. He will want to win this convincingly to erase memories of his loss to Calzaghe.

    You know the more I think about this fight the more I give Miranda a chance to win. Kessler fights scared, if he dont back Miranda up, he will be in for all he can handle.

    Kessler has to throw the jab much more than he did against JC.

    I hope he doesnt because then we will have a brawl, and i still see Kessler outbrawling him

    Kessler has to show that the Calzaghe fight did not define him.

    The panther is in for a serious hiding !

    Kessler fights scared? He throws at a serious workrate and is accurate with it too, couple that with Miranda's lack of defence and lack of accuracy himself.

    Here's a guy who also couldn't put away a weight drained Green and we know he's not going to be outboxing anybody. He really has little to no chance, as his power is not what most think it is.

    Watch the Porras vs. Miranda, he tagged Porras with flush right after flush right and Porras took them, fighting being stopped prematurely.

    Kessler's sense of distance and defence is simply of too high a calibre to get caught up in a brawl/war with someone as unrefined offensively and defensively as Pantera.

    Normal service will be resumed.

    Kessler will command the fight and win nearly every round on every card.

    Kessler easy but this is a pointless fight for him. Should be Pavlik/Taylor vs Kessler.

    Mirandas only chance should be power. Kessler is his master in everything else.
