I have Kessler with a late tko. But Kessler has zero defense and Ward will dominate for most of the fight .
Kessler I seen against Calzaghe was almost knocked out ... with a body shot and if weren't for that bull**** ref, Calzaghe would've stopped his ass. I also think that Kessler doesn't have many weapons outside of the jab right hand combinations _
Not going to happen; Ward is from my home town i'd like to see him excel, but kessler's experience will show.
They were fighting in Calzaghe's backyard and you are blaming the ref? Kessler gave Calzaghe a really good fight. The same Calzaghe that beat Hopkins who is the Ring p4p #1. All that said, it does not mean Kessler beats Ward in Oakland. Kessler is really arrogant taking one fight after another in dangerous opponents home towns.
Yes i think Ward will win on points - how do you see the fight going? close ud? wide ud? stoppage? i see it a 60/40 fight. also what do you think Wards biggest worry about Kessler will be?
Is this the same Ward of whom you recently claimed: ''With all the ability that Ward and Dirrell have, I don't think they have the substance to take out a guy like Taylor ... those guys are mostly flash and haven't proven to show anything outside of their talent. I think they'll outclass those Euro guys, but the biggest test will be against Taylor ..." I'm sorry Fitz but that statement just seems like Euro-hate to me. If you genuinely believe that the three Americans are going to be 1, 2 & 3 (with Taylor being #1) after this tournament, then you need therapy mate.
Don't get confidence in one's abilities and arrogance mixed up, sunshine. Anyway, some fan of boxing you are. Would you rather fighters just stay at home at fight?? You'd probably call them over-protected, Euro-bums...I'd guess.
I don't know if arrogant is the right word but it is certainly a bit stupid. I think I recall Kessler commenting on fighting in Wards backyard as a "negotiation mistake!!". Having said that I have no doubts Kessler will show his A-game against Ward. Kessler has been longing to fight in front of a US audience. Here is the chance.
Of course, Kessler won't even land a single punch. Ward wil land each of his punches. He will also do a triple axel doing it, while eating a double burger with his boxing gloves on. If you want serious answers, start by a serious thread subject. There can't be no doubt.
I would've bet my firstborn on Kessler to win by KO, **** that fitzgeraldz has a crystal ball I dare not say against him...
