What are you talking about, have you ever seen some of kessler fights? His right hand is made in hell... just a shame he didnt box as well as he could tonight, but thats credit to joe.
It's not easy for me to say this, but Blocky is right. Kessler couldn't stop Mundine, he didn't score knockdowns against either Siaca or Lucas or Andrade. His power is slightly above average but not great.
Standi, in some of your posts I can see some real boxing knowledge but you are so blinded by pure hate that you make a complete fool out of yourself. Anyway, should you support England in rugby, being English? Or does SA being current World Champions have something to do with it?
You are completely deluded and beyond help. Just read a few of your 521 posts and form an unbiased opinion (I realise that would be near impossible to ask of anyone) and you'll realise what I am saying. Ask anyone.
Standi, As someone else said sometimes you show that you know your stuff but come on fella that was a superb disply of tactical boxing tonight & an insight of changing tactics mid-fight.......???? Joe has too much "go" for Hopkins nowadays & as far as wright is concerned it would be Kessler all over again, You obviously hate Joe but you have to admit he is the best about at the moment in his class....???
Hopkins has to stop hiding first before he can have the **** beaten out of him This content is protected
I'd say A-. I have never seen a fighter with great defense, a great chin, and the ability to throw over 100 punches a round. Calzaghe is going to be tought to beat. Kessler had the right style match up. A power punching techinican who landed some hard stuff on coutners. It was not enough.
What happened to night also puts Kessler´s fight against Andrade into perspective. Kessler simply doesn´t hit as hard as many/I thought. On the other hand, Calzaghe´s chin proved to manage everything coming it´s way.
I was not impressed with his power either. After all the hype. I called him "average", I'll change that to "good". But this guy isn't going to set the world on fire.
