Andre Ward will beat Kessler ...

Ward can't hit hard, and has a glass chin, he will be exposed.

 

I know very little of Ward, however i am fairly assured that Kessler will win, he's the strongest all rounder in the competition

 

Ward is a little green if u ask me. He hasn't fought anybody worth mentioning, plus, Kessler is a major step up for him. I think Kessler will over power him.

 

Kessler is good... very good

 

I believe that Ward will win but the fight will be very close! If ward had two more tuneups i would say a complete shutout but now i got to say a close decision victory. Ward is too skilled for Kessler, and for those who dont know who ward is your comments are too damn biased. Look Ward up and give a legit prediction.

 

Kessler is the fave, and rightly so. A little too much for ward in the end for a UD.

 

Say Ward beats Kessler... does anyone else in the tourney bring what Ward does? So how would that undoubtedly sink Kessler? AND, how is someone "exposed" after a quality showing against the best fighter anyone in the tourney has faced (well, JT and BHop, but that was quite a while ago now)?

I don't know Ward well enough to make a call, but him beating Kessler doesn't rule Kessler out by a long shot - that's the magic of the tourney. BTW, how 'bout some reasons for your brilliant insights? Or do you just make statements and walk away?

 

We all know Ward has a good skills set and is fast and evasive.....dont know if that will count for much when he gets hit with a frw straight rights.....Kessler stoppage for me.

 

Ward is a great boxer and moves well but he's never been in the ring with anyone that boxes as well as Kessler, hits as hard, or is as experiences as Kessler. Ward might have a slight advantage in speed, but I feel he's outclassed in all other departments. He's good enough that I think he'll be able to survive to see the last bell, but not before getting caught at least once and tasting the canvas. Kessler UD.

 

I like Ward. Hope he can pull it off. It's a big step up. But I still didn't think Kessler was so impressive against Calzaghe.
