    i was willing to give kessler the benefit of the doubt after perdomo, after all he did have semi long lay-off, but in hindsight kessler looked like ****.

    And im not even sure, he was much better in the ward fight.

    new coach, mental coach, new promoter, new trainingbase and a whole new setup, it just seems a bit too desperate and im concerned that it might be too much of a change at once.

    but i will give him credit though, as the mental coach is a step in the right direction,but im wondering if this is the mentla coach :yep

    Exactly!! The only good thing a mental coach can do for Kessler is to make him realize that he lost because he couldn't adapt. Then he should get a new trainer.

    After watchiing the Ward fight I'm really not sure Kessler has the right tempermant and emotional structure to fight at the highest levels of the sport. There is more to boxing than skill. Top fighters need that extra "it" factor that inspires them to get down in the trenches and go to ****ing WAR!

    Let me put it this way. I counted 9 Ward head butts. One or two could be accidental and perfectly innocent. Three is questionable. Nine is an intentional tactic. Now answer this question for me. If Ward was fighting Froch, Abraham, Calzaghe, Pavlik, or even Jermain Taylor, how many head butts would he land before he caught a knee in his nuts and an elbow across the face?

    Kessler just ain't mean enough. I don't think a little "mental coaching" will be all that helpful.

    Kessler had an evaluation meeting with Sauerland before the Huck - Afolabi fight. Neither Kessler nor Sauerland have wanted to comment on the outcome of that meeting. Man I would like to know what they talked about...
