JC VS. KESSLER....More good news!

Good news this one should be a good fight.
Calzaghe will have too much though I think.

 

My most anticipated fight!!

Dont know about you but im pretty pumped up for some of the fights coming up this year.

 

Joe will raise his game for this like he did against Lacy for me.
His speed will be important though but I guess It wouldn't be a massive shock to me if Kessler won.
Should be a very good fight either way.

 

I am going to put some money on Kessler. Up till now he has beaten every opponent easily and I cant see him swinging and missing like lacy did for 12 rounds. Although there is a question mark over his ability to reamain composed whilst being rained on by slaps, he should have enough power, skill and smarts to win.

But if Calzaghe rises to the occasion, ill give him his props and respect him a great deal.

By the way, whats Calzaghes chin like????

 

It's good he got knocked down by Byron Mitchell once but got straight up to knock him down not long after. He didn't seem to be dazed by the knockdown at all.
His chin will obviously be tested in this one again.
I really can't wait for this one. :smoke

Mogens Palle: 95 percent chance for Kessler - Calzaghe

The Danish promoter Mogens Palle confirms to B.T. that they are only a signature away from making the dreamfight between Kessler and Calzaghe reality.

You can say the negotiations are at a very advanced stage. Pretty much all our financial demands have been accepted, only very few things are missing, the promoter tells B.T.

- We have sent Frank Warren a preliminary contract, which is now being negotiated step by step. The remaining details, cannot break anything, Palle informs.

One of the details that must be decided is the geographic location of the fight, whereas both Denmark and Great Britain have been considered, as it currently is Mogens Palle doesn't think the fight will be taking place at home soil(Denmark).

- If he is negotiating for real, there is 95% chance the fight will get made. I am guessing it will take place in Great Britain.

If the fight takes place in Britain and Palle/Kessler gets around 5M$, it kind a puts Palle in another light.

For months hes been ridiculed for not accepting the very first offer of 1.75M$ and the next and so on.

Some might call him a negotiating genius at this point!

Nevertheless this is great news. You gotta hand Kessler some respect going to Wales. Great fight!

 

I agree with that.

But i'll admit that im am basing my knowledge on the few fights ive seen as well as some of the information from other posters and articles.

 

He wont though.
He could walk through Veit but this Kessler fight is very different.
