Here is a quote I plainly agree with. Relentless or not as much, I sense that Kessler lost his sense of himself and both he and his backers came as close as they could to the Top. Maybe they did not have time or options to take stock of the situation seriously enough or maybe they went rightfully for the fight that (could) have opened doors... Giving due weight pro and contra, The Dan is unquestionably in his two hundred and forty seven steps of the spiral staircase of defeat and his own post facto rationalization... Should I be a Joe supporter, avid devotee to say this(?), not just about. Mikkel, a sullen young man of twenty something or thereabouts, is predictable as clockwork and is supposed to gather enough strength and commit himself to high workrate so that he goes willingly forward and can take over at a given moment as Joe feels the increase of weight of his punches until movement is impossible - Nothing could be so wrong, we heard it before in Lacy vs Calzaghe ( and other fights like Hoya Mayweather) but still people seem myopic and hard of hearing, Kessler's imagery is too fluid and his metre too inconstant so that Joe easily sets traps on him, sets off fireworks, catches him out and brings him in a spiral slowly downwords to Mother Earth - This is a good fight nonetheless, pitty is that they are not at the same level! Joe is definitely a gifted puncher-boxer and whose fast whirlwind assaults make him a favourite against B-Hop, JT or RJJ, no doubts about it! Kessler is just a very strong, commited and brave Super-Middle titlist...
kessler has nothing. I think he knows this b/c he is a very smart fighter...he will just try to go the 12. Calzaghe is too fast for him...he cant time calzaghe like he could other guys
Kessler also has horrible footwork..he squares up too much and he takes to long to get his feet set to punch..calzaghe will see anything he has coming a mile away.
If Calzaghe is superhuman its gonna be hard for Kessler to beat him. But you know what? Calzaghe is a human being :scaredas: :admin :yikes For some of you this might come as a surprise because you are blinded by the Lacy fight. Kessler will counter Joe alot and try too keep him at a distance. Which fighter has done this when fighting Joe? Kessler is a smart fighter and the bull**** arguments about soutpaws being superior to orthodox fighters are crap. Besides, Kessler is ambidextrous, intelligent, has power, speed, stamina - ****in everything to create problems for Joe... But some people just wont realise that speed isnt everything. There are numerous examples of that in boxing history. Face it.
I like your style dude, but the highlighted sentence is excactly how most Calzaghe lovers see this fight. It will be totallty and utterly different to the Lacy fight. Why wont you realize? Calzaghe will be the one pushing and pressing to get in while Kessler will be controlling things..
Kessler does not have speed..he has good timing but he takes to long to plant his feet for his shots..I can see him move around and then get set..If I can see..Calzaghe can see it for sure...Kessler is a smart fighter and I think you will see calzaghe catching him with his right hook and the str8 left to the body that kessler has no defense for ...Kessler squares up way to much to beat joe...I cant see it.
Well I must say that I see your point. There are many ways for Joe to win the fight. But why people wont recegnize that Kessler has if not the same chances is beyond me... Calzaghe IS faster than Kessler. But hes not Flash Gordon of the division. Mundine is. Calzaghes pressure is the real trademark as I see it and his ability to infight, brawl, grab dudes by the neck etc. Along with his overall unorthodox, weird style and extreme stamina.
His main thing is his weird style that nobody fights like..he throws arm punches and the way he punches I surpised he doesnt break his wrist every fight.. He bounces in and out and keeps his hands moving. He is a hard target. But we will see what can be done...I hope Kessler knocks him out to shut up amsterdam and china hand...just for kicks..I would love to rub that in there faces for months..:good
Astola, I appreciate your words, the Calzaghe backers may love him going willingly forward in so heightened an emotional condition, and simply dematerializes the Dan's but experienced Joe is supposed to taylor his behaviour to the requirement at hand which is nothing less than that yellow brick lane to the New York Stadium and the american stars... I'll give ya the benefit of the doubt, Astola, but I doubt Joe comes in blazing with righteous rage, he will have an unrelaxed look of a fortress preparing for the inevitable assault, reluctant to approach but will be tracing a series of rhomboids, ovals, ellipses with both fast hands and feet while Mikkel will be with his mind blank, on the persue like is dragging a ball and chains across the floor, things are closing in on it, allakazoo, allakazam!
This is the absolutely best, non biased, well written prediction Ive seen so far:good I might change my mind because of it.
