    Agree it was a premature stoppage but it wasnt going to last much longer anyway.

    It was one of my favourite Calzaghe fights, along with the Eubank fight. The stoppage may have been a bit early, but to be fair Mitchell was gone.

    ****ing hell that fat Dave Paris stands In the way of the knockdown punch!

    Good stoppage though, Mitchell was staggering after Joe knocked him down.

    These rounds show pretty much all of what Calzaghe is about. He throws tons of punches/slaps with decent accuracy. The real danger in his punches comes with orientation. Those that go left-right (vice versa) are by far the most dangerous as the opponents head gets hit on the left while moving to the left (vice versa). In order for JC to hit with the shots going left-right (vice versa) he needs to come in close. So Kessler, keep your distance, throw some heavy ones and you should be fine.

    Hard to keep your distance against a champ with such quick feet, not to mention that he punches from odd angles coming in. Kessler's in for a long night.

    Great fight, Joe is a world class fighter and his is the record and legacy not to be forgotten or descredited. Came out from the deck to knockout Mitchell, hell of a fighter. Cheers.

    Yes it is! But how much slower is Kessler actually? I'm not sure it is that much. Also what I like about the clip is JC's capacity to come out like
    "shot out of a cannon". I believe the latter fact poses a serious thread to Kessler. MK needs to have a game plan to keep him out of trouble if JC comes at him from the very start. As things settle so will JC.

    Calzaghe will put on an Ironn shirt and chase Kessler out of Eurth!

    Some of you computer wizards out there ought to make a comparison of speed of movement of JC and MK. How about a layered video like you have in skiing. Then we can settle the issue of speed for good, potentially taking one more point away from the JC nuthuggers.

    Calzaghe Is the faster fighter, barely anyone denies this.
