Kessler V Dawson at LH, who wins?

RafaelGonzal · Jul 24, 2008

Just hoping the Pastry does something besides live on rep and so called potential. After fighting that can Hausler, will he live up to all these lofty expectations? I just want the man to prove he is as good as you all say. I dont expect it to happen any time soon this guy is on a milk run.

Kessler may not offer much in the way of movement, but he keeps a typically high stiff european upright guard and works primarily off the jab with the right held high to block incoming shots, or to throw a straight off the jab. He's no Mayweather or James Toney thats for sure, but to me Dawson looked like **** against Glen, who really should at this stage of his career be classed as a journeyman, but due to the level of competition he'd still a legit threat to everyone in the division.
Kessler hits a lot harder and faster than Johnson, I just dont think Dawson's chin will hold up for 12 rounds.

Dont get me wrong, both guys will land their shots, I see Dawson doing the better more eye catching work for the most part, but he'll start to tire, he'll be getting worn down by shots he cant take for 12 rounds even if he's not gassed out. I simply see Kessler stopping this one around the championship rounds.

Here's the thing, I suspect many of them do have a clue. Some are Kessler fans, so I expect them to pick Kessler. Many of them are Calzaghe fans. Calzaghe fans are notorious for overhyping guys that he fought. Had Kessler never fought Calzaghe, many of them wouldn't give two shits about him. However, in a transparent attempt to pump up Calzaghe's resume, they act like Kessler is an ATG. Many of them will claim that he's a top 10 p4p fighter. Look at how they all **** on Pavlik. I bet if Calzaghe decides to fight Pavlik, they'll claim overrate the hell out of him as well after the fight is over.

You have a point these guys are probably hardcore Calzaghe fans hying up Kessler so it makes Calzaghe look better. Don't get me wrong I think Kessler is a solid fighter and beats most at 168 but Dawson will have his number if the two ever meet.

I always wonder why people always see the splint in other people's eyes, but never the tree in their own... :huh

Wouldn't it be at least as relevant to look at why Americans hype up Dawson and just automatically undervalue anyone that hasn't beaten one of their american heroes? When you talk about bias, at least try to understand that it goes both ways.

Dawson - Late stoppage.

Going just by the scoring, this looks like it would be a great competitive match up.
