To all you goy's from Wales I feel sorry, you will not only loose a world champion, but your god as well, sorry!
i read in some report calzaghe is training for the kessler fight in his garden shed gym. not sure if calzaghe is still sparring with macranelli ? i know it cannot be done as bute has a fight coming up ,but bute would be an ideal kessler sparring partner to prepare for calzaghe. i do not know darren barker but i have seen kessler in sparring action before on you tube and while he mainly throws a jab, it is a ramrod of a jab and will discourage sparring partners big 16oz gloves or not. macrannelli would be the perfect sparring partner for calzaghe in preparing for kessler , as his height and length , jab and right cross would mean calzaghe had ideal preperation.
I hope Darren Barker isn't Kessler's main sparring partner otherwise Kessler is completely ****ed if that's the 'top end' of his preparation
Obviously not with more than a month to go. Sparring with Barker was only planned to last till this saturday.
I agree, but Barker was only supposed to be Kesslers sparring partner for this week like Haymer was the sparring partner last week. Next week a new sparring partner will be used, don't ask me who. Edit: Sorry dumdane.
Exactly, it's no big deal at all. In fact, I think it's quite sad a fighter who is much more experienced making a sparring partner quit. What has Kesller learned or gained from doing such a thing? Barker is an up-coming boxer, Kessler could have shown class & tried to help him, rather than making him quit. All the physical advantages are with Kessler, so it doesn't prove anything to me. Why don't Kessler go sparring with someone like Klitzscho. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't make him quit, probably be the other way around. Shows a lack of class & is disrespectful to Barker in my view. Saprring is meant to be learning curve.
It says in the article on teampalle.dk that Barker quit because he has a fight in a week or so, so he didn't want himself get more busted up in training. It's not like Kessler knocked him out, more that Barker didn't want to spar that rough when he has a fight so soon. And imo, it isn't Kessler's job to try to help his sparring partners - they're being paid to help Kessler in his preparations, not the other way around.
Who cares about Darren Barker, the thing is that you have never seen Kessler like that, he's on fire, wacth out Calzaghe he's after you!!!
So by giving a small middleweight a little bit of trouble until he got knocked out by a love tap he is going to beat a fully fledged super middleweight in Kessler? :nut
What a ****ing coward you are! It's easy to say it was a tap when you are typing on your computer. Why don't you step into the ring if you think you could stay up from those type of punches. And btw you are such an idiot - he gave p4p no.3 and the best Middleweight in the world big problems in the early-middle rounds. F*cking idiot.
