Well if you can't see the difference in style between the Kessler that beat Andrade and the Kessler that beat say Beyer or Lucas, then there is no point arguing. Put just to point to the most obvious difference: Versus Beyer/Lucas/Siaca Kessler was in control - he was the one making the fight - moving forward always had the right distance and in over all control. Pressure - half a step strait back and counter - much to that recepy. Versus Andrade Kessler was physicly push back for most of the fight - and Kessler boxed classic counterboxing - circling the attacking Andrade and countering. and if you want a little inside fighting - toe-to-toe go see round 12. Calzaghe last 12 fights: Manfredo - stopped, but Manfredo was never hurt, so it was stopped not due to Calzaghe's power, but due to Manfredo's inactivity and a referee that stopped it early. Bika - all chin - says who??? - Kessler had him down in sparring wearing big glows and headgear - Bika has a good chin, but he is stopable Lacy - should've been stopped - no it shouldn't - if that had been the way to "judge" a fight then Ali would have lost to Big Georg... Ashira - broken hand, still pitched a shutout - Ashira has a very shaky chin - should have been possible. Veit - stopped - has a very bad chin! Salem - W12 - by all accounts has a good chin although he was down versus Echols and Calzaghe and stopped by Bute. I think Calzaghe has the power of his younger days, but I don't think his hands can deliever anymore - he broke his hands on both Ashira and Manfredo. I think Calzaghe has a very good chance of beating Kessler, but I don't see it being on (T)KO.
well can't say that I'm sober either - I'm of course going to be stealing that remark and passing it of as my own :smoke
Hi, lets assume the fight will go on. Lets make some bets Blocky... Be ready be se JC loose - face the facts... Make me a bet........
yeah you find these fake ones all over the Internet: Total: Kessler: Forsøg: 856 Træffere: 348 I alt 41% Andrade: Forsøg: 923 Træffere: 95 I alt 10% Jabs: Kessler: Forsøg: 532 Træffere: 188 I alt 35% Andrade: Forsøg: 390 Træffere: 40 I alt 10% Powerpunches: Kessler: Forsøg: 324 Træffere: 160 I alt 49% Andrade: Forsøg: 533 Træffere: 55 I alt 10% 856 punches thrown - that's a pretty high workrate for a guy with stamina-problems...
They are all wrong and Blocky is always right (In Blockyland anyway:nut ). You ought to know by now that Blocky only accepts facts if they support his case.
How did you score the fight then ? And how the hell would the great man have lost to Foreman when he knocked him out ??
At first I wanted to write that as well - but I have long ago come to the conclusion based on analysis from watching the fight multiple times - that body shots versus a forward launching unorthodox guy with very long reach would put Kessler at unnecessary risk - he even did it a few times - and got hit almost everytime in the process - while when not doing it - he almost never got hit. Still the head was wide open for bashing. The "sucker" just didn't wanna go down. So my conclusion is - he did the right thing in that match - and hoped that Andrades chin wouldn't hold forever.
