Kessler: Calzaghe has glass chin compared to Andrade

Sounds like he's having a few beers during training

 

The shots Andrade took were out of this world. Everybody has a china chin compared to him.

Kessler also said that it would be difficult to find a sparring partner with the same style and explosiveness as Calzaghe.

 

Interesting theory Mikkel has there.

Stupid, but interesting.

 

According to Mikkel Kesslers news letter his puls is now 31 after some rest. So I guess he is in shape early.

 

We all know though, knocking Calzaghe is just about the most foolish thing his opponents can do.

Just ask huge punching Byron Mitchell whether hitting Joe with the most vicious right hook ever seen, helped him win the fight.

 

There isnt one anywhere in the world. Lacy had the same problems pre Calzaghe, he had Winky to spar with. It didnt get him to far.

Mikkel Kessler is a great fighter. He is in fact the 2nd best fighter at 168lbs in the entire world. Unfortunately Calzaghe is the 1st. Its going to be a great fight to watch, but Calzaghe is going to take him out.

 

Yeah, I noticed that as well - resting heart rate at 31 - pretty good:good

 

Exactly. I just brought this up on the Brit forum. Kesslers best bet and in fact only chance to win is to stay at range and outbox Calzaghe. Unfortunately, hes not varied enough to do this. If he attempts to hurt Calzaghe he is going to be on the blunt end of a Lacying. Trying to get inside and bang will probably be the end of his career as a top level guy.

 

Jabs also serve just to annoy Calzaghe. It seems anything Kessler does in this fight will only work against himself.

Kessler's gameplan should be to just stand in the middle of the ring and take his beating like a man.

 

World belt fights for Andrade: 1
World belt fights for Kessler: 5

World title fights for Calzaghe: 21

I think it's pretty clear (even in Danish maths) that Andrade and Kessler together have operated nowhere near the level of Calzaghe.

Stupid comment from Kessler (lack of English skills perhaps?). Andrade was in his first belt challenge and if anything, it shows that Kessler's power isn't exactly devastating. Joe took some massive shots from bigger punchers than Kessler and was never seriously in trouble (aside from the last seconds against Eubank).

"Kessler is convinsed that if he lands 1/3 of the big shots that he did against Andrade on Joe..."

The smartest thing Kessler said here was the word "If". Very pertinent.

 

I dont really care who wins this fight as all i want is a tough exciting bout between the top two super middles.

But if i didnt know what boxing was and went on this site i would assume joe calzaghe is god and mikkel kessler is atleast a 1000 0000000000-1 underdog..

I dont know what the outcome will be and either does any1 not even the fighters themself..

Please hurry up and fight as i want all of us to have our answers.

I CANT HANDLE THE TALK ABOUT THIS BOUT ANYMORE.

 

Andrade is like a remote control combo dummy though. He just keeps on coming forward to get belted. He has an absolutely fantastic chin, you could probably hit the **** with a tank and he wouldnt blink. Unfortunately that has no bearing on the Calzaghe fight as the 2 are leagues apart in terms of styles and ability.

Whilst Kessler is trying to land 1/3 of those shots hes going to have to evade 100 punches a round from the most awkward southpaw in the world of boxing who has almost unparalleled big fight experience.

Its going to be a tough night for Mikkel

 

You have gone from being a bit annoying when you first arrived to very entertaining.:good
