~~~Is Kessler's biggest nightmare that the fight is stopped early?~~~

Well, if Joe starts his slapping routine (which undoubtedly he will) & Kessler just stands there instead of punching back, then he deserves the fight to be stopped permaturely.

 

No british refs!!!

 

Mikkel Kessler's worst nightmare is that he won't be stopped prematurely.

 

I can't see the problem about the corner throwing in the towel , if your fighter are taken more punishment than good is. Thats what you should expect from the guys in the corner, but i think you guy's are a bit carried away about Kesslers nightmare, as i it is a facth he will loose in one ore another way. I think the one with nightmare is Calzaghe, knowing who he has to face 3 nov. a lot of people will have a chock, when Kessler destroy
Calzaghe like he did to Beyer.

 

Dont even compare Calzaghe to Beyer.

 

1. German refs are notoriously worse
2. American refs are no better based on recent fights

 

I don't think this will be an issue...with all the marbles at stake and everthing. And I don't think Joe will manage to ''swarm'' Kessler as so many people seem to think 'round here. Mikkel will not just stand there without responding. I think the biggest ''nightmare'' for Kessler will be that he will have to carry the wba/wbc/wbo and ring belts and we all know he's got a bad back. :yep

 

First of all, Reid vs. Ottke wasn't handled by a German ref. Though, I don't like the way German ref's act (it's the same with Italian refs).
For me British refs are one of the best but if you have a British fighter vs. a foreign boxer it should not be a British unofficial inside the ropes. Just in case of fairness there should be appointed a foreign ref as well...

 

Was he not German? what was he then? Austria? That moustache says he's german if you ask me.

He deserved to be sacked for that performance. Either he's totally incompetent or deliberately and purposefully bias for Ottke. Utter disgrace. Reid won that fight 117-110 on my card. CLEARLY.

 

Ahh, i thought it was a dig at British refereeing. I get your point though:good

 

I don't compare Calzaghe to Beyer, i describe what i can imagine, if Calzaghe
do what you guy's are doing, underrate Kessler!

 

I think people are making more out of this early stoppage thing than they should. One fight against a nobody opponent was stopped early. In a fight of this magnitude the ref will know better than to make that kind of mistake. just look at the 12 round ass whoopin that lacy was allowed to take.

 

Kessler won't have any nightmares about this issue, he is not Peter Manfredo or even Bryon Mitchell for that matter.
