I hear you - I can fully relate to that and understand. Well, the fight was 3 rounds vs Beyer. You can hardly blame Kessler for being tenative so early on. One-two and down he went. At this point Beyer is still underrated - especially because Kessler blew him in 3 rounds. Mundine speed only caused problems due to lack of form. Still, Kessler was far superior, and closed the match easily. Mundine went hesitant because at that point he didn't have the goods to match Kessler or counter him. Andrade came forward with no end, throwing slobby punches, of course sometimes they hit. So will JC, but they will not make Kessler blink for a second - however - he will be the receiving end of powerful punches that will land more often than Calzaghe is used to. JC has been down before, and its not impossible he will again - he has shown he can take it and get back up - but he is in for a nightmarish bout. Kessler is younger, stronger, skilled, smart, tested. And it would take a JC that surpasses the one that beat Lacy(which I dont think he can dublicate), to beat Kessler. JC is in a decline - Kessler is peaking. JC struggled with journeyman gatekeeper Bika - hell he has looked less than elite in a handful of fights. Kessler is always good. Lacy got rumbled - and had no answers - had no counters because he is green and limited. Yes at his best he is a warrior - but broken hands will not help him vs an elite such as Kessler. This is not a green Lacy. This is not an old Eubanks with an abcentminded mindset. This not a weakchinned Veit. No - this is Calzaghes end of his reign...
You ought to have just stayed without an avatar, picture and anything. Just a blank "Blocky" with rabid posting had more effect on the Danish population that you don't like and almost sent some of them packing.
I offered an article to ESB some months ago on the subject of "hype jobs and the public response", it included Khan, Margarito, Taylor and then the best cracked example in A-Farce Harrison. They replied back to me and said that it couldn't be posted because it was too full of "malicious intent". I need to work on not developing brutal hatred for certain aspects.
I agree with Amir Kahn who is from the next city to me, and i feel he is way over rated and will be beaton soon, i fancy that man to be Jon Thaxton, but to be honest Warren wouldnt put him near Thaxton.
That little china chinned joke gets KTFO as soon as he's put in with a competent 2nd rate hitter.:good
Take out the critisicm of Taylor and they will happily print it. If you have balls you criticise an american fighter - but ESB just wont print it! Unless - it i because the American is fighting another american that is more liked... As a rule of thumb it is riskless to critisice a fighter that is not based in the US. That is what Blocky has understood and is exploiting. But I know there is not much you can do with that knowledge, because I am sure Taylor was an integral part of your article. :yep :good
Also take into account Bika is on Kessler's payroll, he might well think Kessler will beat Calzaghe but if he did think Calzaghe would beat Kessler he would never say so while being paid to spar Kessler.
That is the metaphoric gun I was talking about in my previous post. Incidently, Palle did have a real gun pointed at his head too.
Bika's crew: "He's just your classical methodical European style of fighter." Not about Kessler...but about Bute...and we know how that went...
