M. Palle is 95 percent certain that the fight will be made. He only needs to make sure that the judges are impartial. He is furthermore confident that if Kessler wins, it should open up for a title shot.

 

Damn I'm looking forward to seeing Kessler back in the ring. Interesting to see how he comes back after the Calzaghe fight.

 

Well it seems like he does not want to waste his time ****ing around making meaningless fights. That's just good for us boxing fans

 

Kessler.

 

... And three votes for Miranda winning on points

 

I'm shocked that so many people think Kessler will win by KO. As somewhat of a safety-first type boxer against a guy who he could easily outbox, I doubt Kessler will go for the KO out of the fear of a huge counter.

 

Miranda is great at the self promotion, but when he steps into real world class he has a puncher's chance and that's pretty much it. Kessler should be too slick.

 

Take a look at Andrade-Kessler - Miranda isn't going to take half those shots and still stand up...

Kessler fights with caution yes - but he doesn't run away - he is always right there in front of the opponent ready to strike. Kessler will not need to hunt Miranda down - Miranda will have to come to Kessler to win - and when he does Kessler will counter him - hard - and in round 6-8 he'll send him down for the full 10...

 

This is gon be a good one.

 

Miranda is a controlled agressor.. But so was Eric Lucas.. Sure, Miranda is waay more powerful than Lucas, but not that much better in other departments. Lucas barely hit Kessler, since he was getting pounded with that jab and hit fast and hard when ever he tried to attack.. Kessler will do about the same to Miranda, but a bit more cautiously.. Miranda though does not defend himself too much, doesn't have a fantastic chin.. Kessler will fight backing up and going forward, Miranda can only fight going forward. He might have his moments, but he won't hurt Kessler and when the accumilation of punches adds up, he will be down..

 

Pavlik showed us that Miranda is easy to hit with a right hand....matter of fact Eastman showed it first....and Kessler has a bigger right hand than both....Kessler KO 6

 

I don't think he necesarilly has a bigger right than Pavlik, it is just waay faster and he will land it more.
