Does anyone still think that Kessler will beat Dawson or Abraham ?

Yeah, I compiled that .. I have a spreadsheet to keep it all straight.




What is sad is that you're on the list. The second "sad" thing is you can't recognize a cut and paste of the "Kessler vs Dawson" poll. :think - kind of new to computers eh?

 

You still went to that effort to try and "own" people. Perhaps the people on that list are wrong in their assessments, but I think the whole of eastsideboxing.com would be in unanimous agreement that you are indeed a sad-case.

Let's conduct a poll shall we?

 

Before the tournament, I thought Kessler would beat Abraham on points. I expected the Kessler who fought valiantly against Calzaghe. While I still favor Kessler over Froch now, it will be a tough fight for him and I don't see him beating Ward, Abraham or Dirrell.

Now I feel that Abraham is the favorite to win the super six. He doesn't need a lot of variety in his style, he is very hard to hit with his perfect body mechanics for an airtight guard. He is basically like Winky Wright with concussive power. I have rarely seen a fighter who is so unaffected by opponent's punches (except when he got careless against Miranda) and who seems so at ease in a boxing ring.

 

I agree. I'd go so far as to say I''d have Kessler a 60-40 favorite or so for this fight. He is one dimensional, it's true, but so is AA and dammit, Kessler's dimension is very, very good. It'd basically come down to who could adapt better in the later rounds; something neither has really shown an innate talent with...

 

I've been laughing at your moronic posts whenever they appear. It is clear you like to post idiocy but you really don't know anything about boxing/fighting or athletics in general huh? Just how crappy of a non-athlete are you? "46-0" :rofl Post less .. it would be an improvement.

 

If you laugh at someone's posts on an internet forum, then help is clearly required. Maybe getting your end away at least once is a potential solution. :good

 

Kessler to me looked significantly worse than he did two years ago against Calzaghe. I'd thought that he and Dawson would make for a 50/50 fight if Chad came down to 168, but now? No way.

I wonder if Kessler's promotional feud with Palle sucked his enjoyment out of the sport. Of course, it's also possible that we overrated him all along, but the guy who fought Calzaghe so competitively was not in the ring last Saturday.

If Kessler doesn't improve his game, I'd expect Abraham to knock him out. Abraham should be considered the favorite at this point, although both Ward and Dirrell have the style to trouble him badly.

 

I agree, Kessler didn't seem his usual self. He looked pretty poor against Perdomo too. His conditioning didn't seem as good as previously. I still think Ward beats a 100% Kessler though.

I also think Abraham would beat him at this stage. He was getting badly rocked by Ward and may well have been dropped if the fight lasted longer, and Ward isn't a power puncher.

I think it's a combination of the legal feud, and the fact that he has fought lower level opposition since the Calzaghe fight.

Or maybe he just had an off night. It can happen to anyone.

 

Yeah, Joe Nuthuggers really aren't qualified to give advice on anything - but if I see a fly I'll give you a holler and you can fill me in on how Joe would handle it.

 

Clown.

 

I think Kessler can beat Abraham

60/40 to Dawson in the other fight though

 

:rofl

 

i have a feeling we will eventually see Ward/Kessler II...

Kessler will win the WBC title when he fights Froch next year and hopefully unify with Ward, should Ward keep the title.

 

Ali had an off-night and lost to Spinks....with no headbutts.

SRR had an off-night and lost to LaMotta....with no headbutts.

And many others.

I wouldn't write Kessler off just yet.

 

So what happened to booradleys crap about how no fighter that had even a slight chance to beat Kessler or AA would be allowed in the Sauerland 6?

Does booradley have brain damage?
