    :lol: Green has to actually throw a punch, then on top of that, land a punch to do have a CHANCE of MAYBE hurting Kessler.

    In other words :lol: at Green.

    Um. Yeah. Which goes a long way toward explaining why Kessler has never suffered a KD.

    Harder than Froch and Andrade? I kinda doubt it. Of course, I've really never seen Green throw a punch so what do I know :lol:

    This right here. That's the chance Green has for a stoppage in this fight, and I think it's a real possibility if he plays his cards right. Kessler's face is ridiculously scarred up from the last two fights.

    Not bad from the old slapper. Green has about as much chance of winning this fight as Mayweather actually taking on the fight with PAC.

    Green is a good puncher, and Kessler is not nearly as fast and defensively solid as he was. He has taken more punches in his two last fights that in the rest of his carreer put together. And if he doesn't get back to his old ways that could be a serious problem against Green.

    Green is no grabber so he didn't know what to do against Ward. However, Kessler cannot neutralise Green in this way because he is also not a grabber. So this will be an entirely different fight.

    PS. OR one of them asks Ruiz (or Ward) for lessons and they could get the advantage.

    Well - I still think Kessler needs to be more agile and light-footed. He even said so himself after the Froch fight.

    He used to never be hit because of his footwork and fine head-movement. "Fine" in the sense that he was really good at ,measuring distance and could therefore move just half an inch to the side or back and not be hit. He has never made a big deal out of it and doesn't bend at the waist etc.

    Now, however, he has been relying a bit too much on his chin. Which, luckily for him, proven to be very good. But relying on the chin too much is not a good idea for a top fighter.
