Ward isn't overmatched

I think it would be a good fight but the thing is - is that Ward isn't like anyone that Kessler has ever fought. He's not a power puncher and he's more of a boxer. When Kessler fought Calzaghe, Calzaghe came forward and put pressure on Kessler, he forced Kessler to be the boxer.

In the case of Ward, Ward will play the role of the boxer and give Kessler more movement and angles.

Ward is an accomplished amateur and knows how to score points _ when it comes down to it, I think that Ward will build up points and take a decision win.

Its very possible and given that people are given Kessler so much respect that many people are going to be surprised.

Ward's team wouldn't have taken the fight if they didn't think it was a winnable fight for Ward.

Thoughts ... ????

 

He has more world experience than Kessler ... despite it coming from the amateur ranks this guy is well traveled and being a gold medalist has seem every style there is imagineable. He knows how to rack up points and i'm sure he knows how to coast when ahead. Many people haven't seen or don't appreciate those type of styles ... guys like him, Floyd, Berto, Gamboa, DLH, Klitschko, and Chambers ... are guys who focus on racking up points and no matter if the KO is there or not does what it takes to get a clear points victory.

I think he's in a good position, maybe the best chance to knock off Kessler.

 

Kessler is in a mandatory title defense ... both of those guys can get knocked off _ if they aren't focused on whats in front of them.

 

Age has nothing to do with it ... he has something that Kessler has never seen ... here's a boxer who won't press the issue and won't lay down ... he would adjust like Calzaghe but won't leave himself open for any unneccessary punishment.

 

it just might be his biggest fight since Calzaghe ... and this will be his American debut ... Its not fair that HBO isn't showcasing this fight.
