Kessler - Most unwarranted bandwagon

There was a vast Kessler support group at that time as well, as Ring clearly depicted by having him at number two.

Its not rocket science.

Or and ab contest.

 

Kessler was way ahead on the scorecards in the Andrade fight, yet in the last round he still kept "fighting: and going for the finish. . . thats the way fighters are supposed to fight. He deserves all the respect he's gotten, and he deserved his shot at the top SMW, props to Cal for stepping up to the plate.

 

Well, I never thought Lacy was that good! He has always been a fighter living off of his power and inside game against mediocre opposition.

You know - if Tyson hasnt been around, Lacy wouldnt have been regarded the way he was.

Stupid ****in journalists, huh?

 

Mikkel's obviously and quite clearly the underdog, Calzaghe represents an astronomical stylistic challenge for him, even his most ardent fans know that deep down. But he's got a shot, anything can happen, that's what makes this sport (sometimes) exciting.

If Joe didn't exist, or existed at a different weight, MK would be the undisputed, unified, invincible SMW champion %completehalt%

 

Andrade is a hard puncher and one shot right on the point the chin mighta changed things. . . just look at Cosme vs Berto.

He could have easily taken the punks way out, ran the last couple rounds and got a UD by wide margin.

 

Even if this point were true, and I'm certainly not willing to concede that it is - styles aren't everything. Skills and talent can offset styles. Kessler brings more skill and talent to the table on his worst day than Lacy on his best, that remains true TO RAGNAROK.

 

you got me confused with someone else. . . Lacy was the top challenger at the time. Cal won props to him.

Kessler is the top challenger now and props to Cal for taking the challenge. Andrade was a tough customer and Kessler could have easily coasted the last couple rounds but he didnt, he put on a show. Props to him for that.

The only complaint I have is that Cal sometimes holds too much on the inside, but overall he's a good fighter and hes giving the fight fans the best possible fight at SMW.

 

Bollocks. I hate to say it but thats what it is.

Lacy tried all night to get on the inside with Calzaghe, who was superior on the outside and on the inside as well.

What I dont understand about this fight is that noone in Lacys camp apparently had seen any of Calzaghes fights....

Calzaghe is the man on the inside and he throws people around like they are ****in amateurs. Just watch the Byron Mitchell fight...

If Lacy had the ability he should have tried too stay out of infight all night, and land the bombs from there.

The way too beat Calzaghe is by fighting intelligent from the outside. You need a hell of a punch arsenal + right hand pop to do this imho.
Every time Calzaghe tries to get in, Kessler needs to punish him.

The roles are totally different when we compare to the Lacy fight.

And we all know that if Andrade should win (I'm not saying he would), then you would claim it was because Calzaghe already destroyed Lacy.:roll:

Btw, when do you expect Manfredo to become a worldchamp or was it Bika?:-(

 

Funny thing is - this is almost excactly how I see it. I just add that Kessler will be throwing all sorts of punches on the night. Left hook is one of them.

Kessler will try to counter Joe and Joe will try to get on the inside to make the swarming count (living up to the promised 2000 punches...)

I say its close too 50/50.

 

Kessler made Andrade look worse than he is, just like JC did to Lacy. The pace was just too high for Andrade, and the classdiffence was just too high - just like Lacy vs JC.


JC knows this is his toughest fight ever. Enzo knows this as well. Most knows this. Why can't you just accept that what Kessler does, he does at elite level. Just like JC.

 

How can I be fanatical when my eyes are wide open? You are the one that continues to look only at one side of the coin. You are cocooning JCs skills based on one fight, where everything went perfect.

Calzaghe don't wanna fight anymore Manfredos - only the best - and thats what Kessler is at 168. Nuff said - the future will tell, and I am done with you.

 

Blocky's basically just setting up straw men and masturbating himself into a frenzy here. I would strongly recommend that nobody indulge him by engaging any longer.

 

I concur. It's like a broken pencil; pointless.
