Kessler knocks out Rodriguez

the knockdown shot that mitchell landed on calzaghe was brutal, right on the temple. also, i dunno if you have noticed, as calzaghe is getting off the floor he looks completely out of it for a split second and he wobbles from side to side, as soon as he makes his feet he's back to full focus and ready to go, then mitchell gets the beating of his life.

 

Yous seem to forget, so did Lacy.... Probably a lot more too.

 

Calzaghe's chin is well proven, he has shown he can take big punches from big punchers. He was caught flush by a big overhand right from a noted puncher in Jeff Lacy early in their fight and walked through it, Byron Mitchell dropped him with a monster of a right uppercut/hook which I didn't think he'd get up from, yet he jumped right back up and stopped Mitchell.

If Calzaghe did get hit flush like Rodrigues Moungo then he'd probably hit the deck but I think he could get up from that as he did show remarkable powers of recovery against Mitchell.

 

yeah but lacy didn't hurt calzaghe, and he hits harder than kessler.

 

That's bc Lacy never had the speed, accuracy and timing Kessler does.
More than just power matters.
Kessler has good but not great power. But more than that he has superb timing and accuracy. THAT's what will win him this fight.

 

kessler needs his jab working for all these above mentioned attributes to come into plan. if joe stops the jab, then kessler could take a pretty bad beating. kesslers gameplan relies massively on his jab.

 

What's up with Kessler beating up on famous old people?

4/3/98 3rd round tko over Michael Corleone. Dude must have been ancient, like 70 or 80. Vito was rolling over in his grave.

11/27/98, UD over Dean Martin.... Could'nt even KO that old drunk!


At least he's fighting real guys now.

 

that was 9 years ago, what was kessler then, 19? who'd you expect him to be facing at that stage of his career?

 

You can't stop a train...You can move around it of course. I'm looking forward to seeing some nice footwork from both fighters, though. :mj

 

Good point, but man those guys were as old as dirt

 

Whatever, you're just a Batman hater :nono

You can't argue with that resume: The joker, The riddler, Mr. Freeze and i could go on... No wonder Spidey and all the X-Men are ducking him, overhyped china chinned bums :tired

 

Every bit of footage ever posted of Kessler has been posted by deram.

Not only does he have "kessler' google alerts added, he also has "lessler" and "jessler" google alerts just in case the editor made a typo with his name.

 

i'm betting on kessler as the odds are really good
