Calzaghe surprises Kessler..

why set yourself up to fail so bad? u must be aware you are doing it..
"So was it a boat he got to Germany & Denmark to defend it then?"

 

so you say now.

but you know full well, apparent from the time taken to reply umming and ahhing over your mistake, that hypothesis follows question.

good luck on trying that on someone else though.

 

you want to test that out too?

i was nice enough to wish you good luck trying that on with someone else.

 

Very cool to see. And Joe's right, I have always maintained that prime Mikkel was the biggest threat he faced in his career and that for him it was really a harder fight than he made it outwardly look.

 

dunno maybe i am timing the time it takes for you to blo off your moma, how would i know what you are doing.

 

That was a nice gesture.

What's happened with his comeback?

 

Canceled, thankfully.


And while they are friends and it was indeed a classy gesture on Calzaghe's part to provide a bit of spontaneity into what seemed to be a domestic celebration of Kessler's achievements, I don't think it was empty flattery by any means. This has more the ring of truth about it than, say, Mayweather claiming that Augustus rather than was, rather than Castillo I, his toughest fight until that point.

When he says Kessler punched hard and forced him to be at his personal 100% it checks out with how I remember the match going. Many have over time whitewashed this encounter to make it sound like a rehash of the Lacy fight when it was anything but. Whereas he outclassed Lacy in every area without breaking a sweat, Calzaghe was forced in the face of Kessler's indefatigable and technically adept offense to constantly pull out new adjustments round after round, like a clown or magiciab pulling infinite scarves of many-coloured silk from their sleeves.

 

Spot on Odin, he was/is a decent trustworthy guy...So when he says Wards a dirty head butting fighter then I believe him...'cos he is a decent guy who doesn't need to resort to fouling most of his top opponents.
Strangely Kovalev , Froch & many many others agree with Kessler!
