Yesterday he was'nt there at all. but he'll be back, Froch and Taylor will be smashed, Ward was a wake up call for Kessler.
THN, you da man. It was good to see Kessler trying his hardest for a KO. Not to be, he'd still smash Froch
Im still a big fan. Im disappointed now but I'll lick my wounds and rebound. Its easy to be a fighters fan when everything goes their way, this time we'll see who the real Kessler fans are. Much like I love Cotto and Taylor, still.
He matches up well with Taylor and Froch. He'll beat those guys with no problem. Abraham's defense and counterpunching will trouble Kessler. Dirrell could be a handful for Kessler if he actually boxes instead of running and fighting like it's the amateurs.
I liked the corner in between rounds when Kessler was bleeding like a pig, and the refere asked if there was any problem in Kessler to continue, they said he is'nt even bleeding
Kessler was affected by his relative inactivity (3 fights against mediocre opposition) since the Calzaghe fight. His accuracy was missing. Of course that was due to Andre Ward too. Hopefully Kessler can get his groove back and gain revenge over Ward in the semis or final. Ward probably has Kessler's number though. Not sure Kessler can adapt
Kessler is an excellent boxer, but an average 'fighter'. Froch is an average boxer, but a good 'fighter'. I might favor Froch if the fight becomes a war
Still a fan and he should still make the semi's. I think he can stop both Froch and Taylor to get himself 6 points. Assuming Ward wins his bouts with Taylor and Dirrell, then I think we'll see these 2 fight again in the final.
Great to see threads like this. I'm not a fan of Kessler but hate it when fans abandon their fighter after a loss. See this thread for details.. http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?p=5402773#
Thats what I mean Kessler should learn from this fight, its ok to be a good figther, but without fight you ant going anywhere.
still a huge kessler fan. He will have a tough fight with froch if he fights like he did last night but don't count mikkel out of winning this whole thing if he gets his mind right.
