Ward by UD or late rounds T/KO stoppage vs Kessler ... Ward is in line to do good in this tournament no matter who he's facing.
Your sure speculate alot with maybe's. "you're sure ward will rise above the odds, and nothing is going to stop him"? How do you know this? Do you have a crystal ball? What has ward done to show that he can compete with kessler? Stayed with miranda? Also, the only class that will tell as the rounds progress is kessler's, because he has the experience and we have the experience of watching. Ward's proven dick. So, i hope your little post was just fanfare, because that's all it is. Hype, and nothing more. Kessler has beaten better and more proven fighters than ward, and andre has beaten a guy that 2 middleweights( one being in this tourney) KO'd. Ward hasn't even gone 12 rounds( look on boxrec.com to prove me wrong) My money, and every smart mans money is on kessler. Ward has slim to no chance to beat this marvelous SMW, and slim just left town. You're delusional!
I'll bring this thread back up after the fight ... more times than not i'm right ... so hate on me if you want but when it comes time for the winner to be announced, i'm usually right. PEACE
We gonna see..I dont know though..I mean Andre is good but I dont know if he could knock Kessler out nor take a decision
What did Floyd do for people to think that he could beat Genero Hernandez? What did any other champion do in their first time around against a grizzled seasoned veteran to tak their title? ... they're always fighting against the odds, and more times than not they make it out victorious - against solid opponents ... Ward is no different. He's just as or more world class as any fighter in the tournament and isn't used to losing ... so he can bring his mindstate to that of when he was in Athens 2004 and win the whole thing again ... to make things even better is that, this is not a single elimination tournament.
Kessler is this and he's that ... but outside of Calzaghe he hasn't fought anyone who can match the complete skill set of Ward ... If my memory serves me right ... Kessler lost that fight ...
if i may take a line from one the final scenes from full metal jacket "your hardcore man......****ing hardcore"......atsch
I've never seen you pick a winner. You sound more like a yesman promoter than an objective boxing fan. I'm not hating, but i'm just saying you're a fanboy who really cannot give concrete evidence of why ward will beat kessler. You're obviously confusing the froch/dirrell fight with this one. I guess there's no way that a white boy can beat a slick fast brotha huh? You still think boxing is on ABC. Here are the facts man, Ward is slightly faster than kessler Kessler is a better puncher Kessler has more stamina(ward will have to prove me wrong) Kessler has better punch resistance( mikkel has been hurt once in his career, to the body by the ATG calzaghe) Ward has been hurt by 2 160 pound journeyman) Kessler is far more experienced And finally, Kessler is the champ! Learn the most important fact of the froch/dirrell scrap. Truth is holms, Kessler has shown me while you're telling me what you think( or in your case knows ) ward will do. No, ward MIGHT do, but can't really say why. HYPE!!! I need substance
More than a little green. He has yet to face a top 10 opponent. And Kessler is no limited plodder like Froch, who got outboxed by a green prospect. This is Kessler's fight to lose.
Andre Ward can win, but he's gonna have to fight a near perfect tactical fight to do so. He's going to have to use his brain and find a way that works against Kessler, its possible Plan A won't, he might need B and C. However, unlike guys like Abraham and Froch its possible he has that. We'll see.
Honestly it's a 50-50 for me cause even though Kessler is one of the best and the heavy favorite to win this tournament, Ward can likely shock the world. Ward has the slick skills, fast hands, great movement and a decent chin to win this fight.
Nah ... you see these guys coming at me and talking this and that ... at this point I was the only one calling this fight in Ward's favor ... and I said i'll bring this thread back up again. Yeeeuuuuh
