Kessler vs. Mundine highlight.

[YT]v8ng9ukHUIA&feature=related[/YT]

A lot of people haven't seen this fight. Mundine stepped up for this one like he did for no other.

I've heard claims that Kessler is slow and has bad timing, well, Mundine's a lightning quick fighter who's also slick and hard to hit, Kessler is right there with him in the speed department and times some beautiful shots on him in this video, also showcases some competent defence and excellent sense of distance, as well as some varied punching and picture perfect left hooks and right hands.

Now put Pavlik in there with Mundine, picture it while watching. Slow as a turtle, open defence, troubled by good movement and his suspect chin with Mundine's speed/timing and power.

And do any of you really think the slow, no defence Miranda is going to do anything to Kessler?

Kessler's going to unload on him from the start, turn, jab, unload, jab, unload, jab, unload, turn, jab etc. etc. etc.

Watch the video and give it a good assessment, there's two class fighters well above your Taylor, Pavlik, Miranda type guys if you are unbiased in your viewing.

 

Here's a highlight between two sloppy B level fighters that are not only open to be hit nearly at all times, but even miss wide with a lot of shots(against each other, two guys with HORRIBLE defences), showcasing limited timing.

Note the lack of footspeed also -

I'm watching them simultaniously.

My unbiased assessment is that Kessler is texbook technical bliss, an A- level elite with very few flaws, tentativeness(but not overtentativeness) being one and excellent timing with excellent handspeed.

Mundine is very good, underrated mostly due to his own idiocy.

Pavlik is pretty good, I should give him more credit actually, highly flawed, but powerful and efficient.

Miranda is a TV level fighter at best.

 

Well that's obviously not the case and discredits your whole opinion. Watch the 2nd video, slow Pavlik and slow Miranda to see slow.

Kessler shows quick reflexes, fast hands and good footspeed in there, as well as very fast delivery speed in his shots and that's against the 2nd fastest guy at SMW in Mundine, who's only slower than Calzaghe.

If Kessler were SLOW like you say, Mundine would have been dancing around him all night and timing shots on him all night.
