    agreed. I think he was landing the cleaner blows, and blocking most of kessler's, but hey it's just sparring, so....

    You can see a bit of Abraham in Murat..Very tight guard and well built. Must be the mix of Armenian blood and Wegner's schooling.

    Sparring the Euro SMW champ, not bad! Better than some no mark.

    Hmm very interesting, Murat is adopting Abraham's style and not Pedermo or Ward's. Maybe Kessler is thinking ahead?

    I hope these idiots who say kessler is a robotic, and stiff euro fighter
    were watching this round. Mikkel hasn't lost a beat, and will win this super 6 tourney blindfolded. Murat is a good solid fringe contender, and kess just toyed with him in there. I've always said that kess is a top 3 best pure boxer in the sport right now, but calzaghe's style was all wrong for the dane. Ward won't be able to dazzle kess, or show him anything new. While ward hasn't even dreamed about facing someone as fluid or skilled as the dane.
    BTW, thanks for the vid TS.

    Show me where Kessler "toyed" with him..Murat looked like he got the better of it if anything.

    It was only 2 1/2 mins from a spar..means nothing but Mikkel wasnt toying with anyone.

    I don't necessarily think it is the best sparring right now though...

    Murat was being Murat in there...

    and perdomo is a very different fighter. Very long-limbed and fights very differently to Murat.

    Ward is also very different. The only only I can see Murat being a good sparring partner for is Abraham if they are to meet.

    Good sparring, but Kessler needs someone a bitt more like Perdomo.

    Murat isn't trying to be anybody, thats just how he fights. He has spurts.

    I'm sure Kessler will have other more specific sparring, or at least I'd hope so, this is just good sparring. You can never go wrong with sparring good fighters, period.
