    Kessler needs a chin checking.

    Zak and Amsterdam what do you think?

    Lower heart rate = stronger heart = the more bloood it can pump around = the more you can work without getting tired.


    Normal heart rate varies from person to person from about 60 to 80, when you´re relaxed.

    Kessler's chin is also glass compared to Andrade. It was a bad comment. It's like saying Holyfield's chin is glass compared to Tua.

    He would newer call others chins glass, he said weaker...Proberly with a smile!

    Im sure he would agree that his own chin is weaker then Andrades.

    Eubank landed a great uppercut in the last round against Calzaghe, it hurt Joe. That punch would have destroyed a lot of 168lbs.

    Thats because he is half scared to death after realising what he has signed up for.

    Thought heartrate was supposed to go up when scared:D

    Either Kessler is really superhuman or your theory doesn't hold up:hi:

    thanks for the facts china hands joe! :thumbsup

    i went and checked my pulse. im nearly 6'2 and weight about 123kg's yet when fit and not overweight about 110kg. so, i checked my heartrate and it's about 72.

    i guess that must be okay, but DAMN! 31 or whatever, i can see how boxers seem to fight at such high intensity and also not burn up their energy before a fight.

    while the average joe on the street (pun intended har har), would be beating around 110 beats a minute in the preparation room, the elite fighters would probably beat around 60 tops.

    i actually remember watching the mundine/kessler fight (and hoping kessler would win!) and remarking on how calm kessler seemed, fighting without home crowd advantage and also only about 60% fit due to back injury. it is obviously something the elite can do cause i was pumped just sitting in the lounge room LOL!

    yup man. i believe a resting heart rate of 31 BPM is elite in terms of fitness. a regular joe's resting HR is between 60-80.

    Only misleading if you are misreading the point of it.

    If your heart rate drops, then it usually means that your body is better at obtaining and using the oxygen in the blood. Your ability to use oxygen is also the way you meassure your psysical fitness.

    But dont be so nervouse I know you wish Kessler to turn up out of shape, but that is probably not going to happen. Both are going to come in the best condition ever. But that should not be a problem for the God Calzaghe.

    Your supposed to take your RHR first thing in the morning. Don't even get up to go the toilet or anything, as soon as you wake up, (and if you remember:D ) take it then. That's when your body is in it's most rested state.

    Just to point out though guys it's highly unlikely (I'm near certain that he hasnt) that Mikkel Kessler has a resting heart-rate of 31bpm. Resting heart rates of 30-35 are reserved for top middle/long distance runners - Cyclists - Endurance swimmers. The athlete in question would have to be of a certain body type that we in medicine call an Ectomorph body type. This body type is naturally skinny with narrow shoulders and a slight bone structure, extremely difficult to put on muscle mass because of hyper-metabolism, and are tall in height. This is why you see so many top Kenyan/Ethopian etc Runners in the world because their genes have dictated them to this body type so they are naturally good for endurance competition.

    I'f someone of Mikkel Kessler's build and profession came into see me and they had a resting bpm of 31 i'd be seriously concearned.

    Btw i'm about to enter my 4th year of a 7year long MBBS Medicine degree at Imperial College London - I know what i'm talking about.
