Bika's trainer says Calzaghe to clever for Kessler

and bika said the oposite....big deal:roll:

 

The fight will decide the future...

 

...ATG rating for JC.

 

Aye, if he wins... Still deserves alot of recognition for all he has done, if he loses, even if the superfights his talents required didn't happen as much; we all know how far he could have taken it regardless of the outcome of this match.

 

lol, what is with the edits?

 

That's funny...Bika said Kessler would beat him.

 

He'll win, don't worry, this one is easy to predict and I have no reserves or doubts that JC would not be victorious in a good, hard fought battle.

It's nothing against Kessler either, JC's just a stylistic nightmare for him... I expect Kessler to give a decent account for himself despite that.

 

Calzaghe UD

 

Have you been talking to Blocky? . We dont know what would be a nightmare for Kessler yet. He has never been troubled by anyone.

Fact remains to be seem - what we do know is, that both are the best they have ever faced.

 

No, I don't talk to Blocky, I'll just send him a friendly bash here and there, but he doesn't bother responding to me anymore.

We do know however that Kessler doesn't like odd angles, speed and swarming tactics, all 3 make him become overly tentative and this gives Calzaghe more oppurtunities.

Kessler showed a good dimension at firing back at Andrade when being hit by a good angle'd shot from Andrade in the 11th instead of going into a shell, but Andrade's head was there to hit all night and he was as slow as a joke Margarito type.

 

"Everybody predicted Lacy to beat Calzaghe..." ... I don't know who he was talking to back then - But many predicted Calzaghe to win. Pretty even here as far as I remember - on knock-out.dk it was 13/3 in favour of Calzaghe.

 

Well it just seems like he has gotten to you concerning this fight it's not 3 weeks ago that you thought it would be a very close fight - almost impossible to predict.

It's okay, my friend - it's okay to build up the confidence in your fighter.

Kessler did show how he handles a pressure fighter, even if it was a wide open one. He showed he could alter his game. It has not been proven that Kessler has problems with swarming tactics nor speed - weird angles are always tough for any fighter. So is great footwork, ring generalship, smartness, precision power punches - all of which Kessler has in plenty.

Nonetheless - we do know that JC will break his hands very early on. Kessler has nothing to fear in terms of being KOed. But lets see - I cant wait to see this fight regardless of who wins. Probs to the winner.

 

I was being nice, because I DO like Kessler and the Taylor and Pavlik fans were severely getting on my nerves, so I used Kessler as the example of one of the 3 "true elite's" from 160-175 crop of fighters, along with JC and bad Chad.

Taylor and Pavlik are joke products of hype, hopefully they cancel each other out.

Beyer's pathetic attempts at swarming got him tenative on a few occassions, Mundine's speed ****ed him over a bit before Mundine went tenative because Kessler would have cracked that china chin as he was coming on(if you hurt JC, he comes on harder) and then Andrade's odd angles did in fact have a minor effect.

He has yet to deal with JC's footspeed(in my opinion, his biggest weapon, because it's not RIVALED by anyone above 154), and has yet to deal with all 3 of those factors in an ELITE package.

He busted his hand in the 5th vs. Lacy, didn't seem to phase him from contuining the beautiful thrashing.

He even broke it more so in the 9th, but he then continued and floored a battered opponent in the 12th.

The point is that JC at his very best is one hell of a ****ing warrior and breaking his hand won't ruin his onslaught.
