Calzaghe vs Kessler - fighting on the outside - a common misconception

A sneak peak into the thought processes of a Kessler fan:


Kessler has won most of his fight thus far by using his jab as his best weapon. So in their minds, they come to the conclusion, he can do the same to Calzaghe.
However this is foolish, as they are forgetting one thing. Calzaghe is brilliant on the outside also.However the reasons why the Kessler fans ignore this, can be easily explained.


Calzaghe is known by many to be as his best as a swarmer type fighter. Arguably the best in the world at it. Then a common analytical error occurs. Having already come to the conclusion Calzaghe is great swarmer, they feel satisfyed with their analysis and don't see fit, or rather forget to analyse his outside game. It is the equivalent of a chess player spotting an excellent move and immediately moving before checking for other good move available. It leads to errors. It is especially convenient for the Kessler fan to not bother analysing 'swarmer' Calzaghe outside game, as this is where Mike Kessler excels. It is like the Lacy fans who failed to realise Calzaghe could outbox or out brawl renouned slugger Lacy. It is just the way Lacy and Kessler fans attempt to justify their views, to themselves.


So to summerize the thinking of a Kessler fans thinking:
Calzaghe brilliant swarmer + Kessler with brilliant jab and boxing skills = Kessler can win on the outside

WRONG



Not only is Calzaghe the best swarmer in boxing right now, he is also one of the very best (if not number one) boxers on the outside. Nobody has ever, ever got the better of him at range, ever. His speed, movement and accuracy means he is actually better than Mike at range.

So:
Calzaghe immensely brilliant swarmer + Calzaghe immensely brilliant boxer + Kessler average inside game + Kessler brilliant boxer = Calzaghe winning on inside and outside = doom for Kessler

 

I have reformatted it for your benifit mate.

 

Some of us (maybe just me) are Ruiz sympathsizers too.
