So what you are saying is basically: If Ward wins, he´s the real deal, if Kessler wins, Ward just didn´t have the goods :tired Give some credit to the winner, whomever it may be, instead of this bull****!
Kessler's speed is underrated. He won't have any problem to cope with Ward's speed. If Ward wants to win, he'll have to be busy and to hit from different angles. I don't see that happening. After a couple of rounds, Ward will become cautious and Kessler will slowly but surely take the advantage. KO or decision? Not sure.
Rooting for Kessler, but after being sure Cotto would win and Marquez at least hitting Floyd I dont dare predict anything... well with a gun to my head : Kessler UD
I'm gonna go for Kessler. Ward is a young, talented fighter, but honestly, i dont see him having too many chances in this one. Kessler TKO.
You always seem to suck at predicting fights with a good American vs a good Euro Rummy and nothing changed here. Ward WILL be the real deal. Kessler already is. If Ward comes to win he will get stopped. If he comes to run he will be dominated over 12. Having said that I think Ward will learn a lot from this fight and can win his next two fights and go foward to the semis, but he wont be getting any joy from Kessler at the weekend.
good southpaw can give troubles to Kessler, but Ward is converted righty, so I pick Kes, and by ko, because of bad habbit of Andre (keeping chin too high)
Have you watched an Andre Ward fight? You should at LEAST check one out before you get all gung-ho on the spouting off.
Common..... happens all the time. Kessler will never gain credit in US. If SOG wins - he will become his father. If Kessler wins - Ward was all hype and "Why didn't Kessler fought Miranda, Dawson, prime Hopkins and Jones or Pavlik with only one arm............?".
Ward has the speed while Kessler has the power. I lean towards Ward winning by UD. I don't expect him to bang with Kessler all the time. He will box until the 12th round and win by decision. But will this fight push through? Latest news is that Kessler's team doesn't like that the two judges are Californians.
