    .. Punch resistance is vital :deal..
    Kessler took a hard shot from Green in the 1st round (a controversial KD happened), but he shook it off and rallied.. In the 4th round Kessler hit Green with a big left hook, and Green's mandible shattered all over the place :rofl:rofl..
    Had Kessler been a glass jawed joke, then the fight could probably have ended in Green's favor :deal

    Green has never before been knocked out cold. Against Johnson he was up and the many found the stoppage to be harsh.

    no, but sooner or later at the end of your career after getting your ass kicked and knocked down , tkod before you get knocked cold... losing more often than winning... thats just common thats how their career usually plays out when playing the part of "opponent"

    If Kessler had Green's chin then he would probably have lost..
    It just proves AGAIN that punch resistance is an important asset

    Kessler is a great warrior but was disappointed to see how easily he gets hit. And him getting dropped from green in the first round which by the way was a legit kd that hurt him was a disappointment but he did make it up for getting green out of there in 4 though.

    Apparently he started out in Froch-mode... the style that Montoya wanted him to fight for Froch because of Froch's reach and his lack of eye-sight. This style means that he did not rely much on his jab. It is based on medium-range fighting with lots of hooks and high activity. Green actually threw and landed more jabs in round 1.

    Then in round 2 he starting throwing the jab more while avoiding Green's jab. Here is landed 9 jabs to Green landing only 1 jab.

    He could go to the jab-heavy style because his eye-sight is now at least somewhat better.
