I dont see Calzaghe winning at all

Try again.

 

Actually I dont see Joe losing... I see Kessler, I follow Bute..Bute's better than Kess. Ill be shocked

 

we shoulda knew that rebuttal was coming

 

Let's see -

- Kessler is only a workable inside fighter, his inside D is not his specialty.

- He's open to being exploited for tenativeness under fire, bad stylistic flaw against Calzaghe.

- He's open to awkward angles.

- Kessler refuses to trade, he will HAVE to take a few to land his best against Joe.

- A consistent workrate, mixed with speed, shows a bad style for him, shown from Mundine and shown from how Andrade stalled him up at times.

- He can be bullied, he has no strength advantage over Calzaghe, who is tremendously strong for the weight.

- If he's not controlling the pace, he's not at his best, who's controlled the pace against Calzaghe effectively?

- Footspeed goes to Calzaghe's favour

- A gameplan to win is much easier for Calzaghe than Kessler, see above.

There. Kessler is a class A fighter, will defeat most fighters, just not awkward speed demons. A fast boxer type like Dawson, who's more orthodox, is a much easier fight for him than this nightmare styles match up.

Try again.:yep

 

Kessler is a better boxer than Joe? That is hilarious.

 

Well Joe's a smart fighter ....I'll going with "it's going to be close fight"

All depends on how effectively Kesslers Jab is going to be on resetting Joe.

Make no mistake Joe and Kessler is up for their biggest fight yet in every aspect!!!

 

Hard to say who's the better boxer (different styles)........but he sure is more Clean!!!

 

I think Calzaghe wins this easier than most expect, Calzaghe has got his own awkward style that nobody has figured out how to deal with. Conversely, Kessler is very European with his style which we have seen many times before.

Kessler is basically a jab/cross/circle fighter who likes to fight at a distance and keep a high guard. I'm pretty sure Calzaghe is going to fight on the inside and befuddle Kessler with blinding combos and get an easier that expected decision.

 

Hhhmmm he have to get in there :rofl to box on the inside and Kessler isn't going to stay toe to toe.

I don't say it can't be done but to say it's going to be easy well then I think you might have to check a few more of Kessler's fights.

 

I already stated that Kessler circles effectively but his footwork is nowhere close to Calzaghes, If Calzaghe wants on the inside then he'll get there with his speed/reflexes.

I didn't say it would be an easy fight just not as close as most are expecting. I believe that Calzaghe will win a clear unanimous decision and not injure his hands, thats all.

 

HHmmm so let me get it right ....all hangs on Joe's speed? (dealt fine with Mundine's speed)

Kessler isn't the slowest fighter you know :huh ...Joe might find it hard to get it there without getting tagged. :bbb

But I do agree that the fight will be an issue on who's getting their workplan to work first.

 

You left out reflexes, I believe speed and reflexes negate Kesslers wooden style. Speed gets him inside to go to work and reflexes helps him avoid some of Kesslers punches. I also don't believe that Mundine's speed and quality can be compared to Calzaghes.
