    His jab is not that good. Miranda has more range and will jab his ass right back and back him up. Mark my words.

    Just look at this guy against an utter bum. He is so one dimensional and he falls in love with his right hand. He comes straight in behind the jab with the right hand...OVER AND OVER AND OVER. Every fight all fight.

    He sucked balls. I mean he had Kessler right in front of him trying to knock him out with the same punch since round one and that ****** got caught by SURPRISE with it.....classic. Kessler does have a great straight right hand.

    Beyer is hardly an utter bum.

    I'd make Kessler the favorite here but Miranda is a very live underdog in it. Pavlik is a good example here due to Pavlik and Kesslers build and styles. One big difference seems to be that Pavlik does apply more pressure than Kessler. Pavlik seems to go for the k.o while Kessler seems to sit back and let it happen on its own. That additional pressure Pavlik applied is a big factor here. He kept Miranda from planting, taking some steam of his big punches. Miranda is likely to get off bigger shots against Kessler as compared to Pavlik.

    I also think Pavlik carries a bit more pop in his punches than Kessler. Might be a factor as well. I'm unsure of Kessler's chin right now. I don't know enough to make a judgement on his chin or recovery abilities. I've only seen Beyer, Andrade(these two landed nothing of note), and Calzaghe who isn't exactly the biggest banger out there.

    Last, lets not forget Kessler is coming off of a loss where he lost for the first time and lost convincingly. No one has any idea how he will be mentally for this fight. Miranda is a dangerous opponent for Kessler to be taking in his first fight since Calzaghe. Very good fight between two of the top 5-6 supermiddleweights in the world. I still favor Kessler by decision in a good and close match.

    He was that night. He does not have a high boxing IQ. His gameplan was mentally ******ed.

    I Dont Think So. Kessler gets the TKO late imo. Can you see this writing?

    '' TooPretty ''.....even if Kessler seems to fall in love with what he's doing and does the same all the time, he does it extremely well ! It's called '' great talent '' and other fighters have a tough time coping with it even if they know what's coming !!

    It's just like Pavlik, everyone knows what to expect from him but they can't be effective against what he brings to the table !!

    Kessler is a great tough fighter. He will be hard to beat.
    BUT.... Miranda will have a gameplan for this. Be prepared to for the upset.

    Andrade got shut out by Kessler 120 -108.

    Andrade KO'd mack.

    just because he was off-balance and went down on his way to the victory means nothing.

    Mirande would lose to Andrade.

    I've seen many Kessler fights - never seen anything that made me think he has a questionable chin.. he was stunned by a body shot by Calzaghe, but that was pretty much the worst shape he has been in, and that is in 40 fights, 6 of which were against top 10 (possibly top 5) opponents.. Manny Siaca and Librado Andrade are fairly hard punchers who hit him, but he didn't seem to care.
