Kessler's assesment of Calzaghe

Andrade's caveman brawling pressure made sure he had to keep punching.

Joe Is leagues above Andrade and could box Librado with one hand.

 

Kessler is gonna get the shock of his life on Nov 3rd.

Calzaghe's power is way underestimated. If both his hands are fine he'll stop Kessler in 9 or 10. (and I don't mean a joke of a stoppage I mean a proper one!)

 

my thoughts as well

he's clearly a genius, may as well sack his coach as he has it all sorted already

 

this is a tough assignment for calzaghe no doubt.from what i've seen kessler is technically sound,a big strong intimidating prescence.they reckon he's hardly lost a round in his whole career and he obvously hasn't been hit much by most of his opponents so far.watching him though i've just got the feeling he doesn't like to be hit(i know who does)sometimes when landing his blows he already seems to be in the process of getting out of there quick,and normally in a straight line.the thing is he will be hit by calzaghe of that there is no doubt,and despite what people say on here especially in the ist half of fights calzaghe has good power.we don't really know what kesslers heart is really like because no one has really made him dig deep which is a great compliment to the guy.he will be severely tested in this fight by a fighter with a style he hasn't remotely faced.if he comes through then he will deserve all the plaudits he gets.

 

He maybe get surprised by how much power Joe's got ....but maybe joe find equally surprising how difficult Kessler's getting tagged :hi:

And about the stoppage .....

 

:good

 

Look mate I put this joker on ignore for a reason but if you quote him I can't help but read his posts.

 

oh you must have missed his post then about knowing floyds secret to success against hatton but not being able to reveal it to us.

 

:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl
Maybe I should take him off ignore then!
As if Floyd needs a secret weapon ffs!
You know when in all likelyhood Mayweather beats Hatton all these juveinile Floyd huggers are gonna flood the site and say "I told you so!"
Well duh!atsch

 

He will if Joe traps him on the ropes. If Kessler wants to win then he's gotta avoid them like Hare Krishnas at the airport!

 

The fact is that most people posting in this thread are right. This fight will by either

a. Calzaghe's hand speed and angles creating problems for Kessler messing with this rhythm. Everything for Kessler works off the jab and Calzaghe's movement to punch from the side could result in a easy and embarrassingly wide points win for Calzaghe
b. Calzaghe tries that bull**** slapping standing square to a hard puncher and gets drilled and then is very tentative for the rest of the fight trying to fight a technical fight ie Kesslers fight and just isn't as good as Kessler in that regard

On balance I see Kessler winning but the fact is this is a great fight that could go either way.

PS. Beating Lacy and Manfredo doesn't not compensate for the inummerable crappy performances Calzaghe has put in over the recent years and hand injuries and marital problems can't explain away all thing. I think Kessler is the real deal

 

kessler KO1.

 

I'll answer your question first:
Never.

Now answer mine:
When was the last time this much 'future money' was at stake (outside HW perhaps) for Calzaghe and especially Warren?

 

Thats why this fight is so exiting:bbb
