Kessler - does he have a shot vs Joe Calzaghe?

I've favoured Kessler in this matchup for a while now, and his recent performances haven't persuaded me to change my mind.

Kessler by decision.

 

:happy There will always be Vikings!:yep

 

Yes he does if he fights right, I'm picking Calzaghe to win by UD or even late TKO here but if Kessler fights right then he definitely has a chance.

 

:happy - excellent point. This is of course correct.

Awesome emocons btw.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:happy:happy:happy

According to Blocky, you must be a danish ******.

Joe Calzaghe will march to the ring like a Roman General and use and abuse that barbarian!

 

The VI King will crucify him; it will take him three days to recover, just like it took the other JC.

 

There is a reason why the Romans never made it that far north.

The romans became selfcontent, selfish and slobby, and the north was just too unruling and strong.

 

Once again the barbarians will loot and pillage the brit shores.

 

- Yes, Kessler has Mjolnir in one hand and the spear of Leonidas in the other.

 

:good

 

For those who do not like hieroglyphic descriptions, here's a pictorial representation of the fight:

notice how, due to his brittle hands, Joe is barely hanging on.

P.s. thanks for chipping in, WiDDoW_MaKeR !

 

...and sometimes, closer than one might expect!

Viking blood still flowing:

RM Ballantyne's Erling the Bold: A Tale of the Norse Sea-Kings (1869), one of several saga tales for Victorian schoolboys:

Yes, there is perhaps more of Norse blood in your veins than you wot of, reader, whether you be English or Scotch; for these sturdy sea-rovers invaded our lands from north, south, east, and west many a time in days gone by, and held it in possession for centuries at a time, leaving a lasting and beneficial impress on our customs and characters. We have good reason to regard their memory with respect and gratitude, despite their faults and sins, for much of what is good and true in our laws and social customs, much of what is manly and vigorous in the British Constitution, and much of our intense love of freedom and fair play, is due to the pith, pluck, enterprise, and sense of justice that dwelt in the breasts of the rugged old sea-kings of Norway!​
