Awesome call! Your absolutely right, if it wasn't for all that legal BS he had to deal with he would have definitely looked a much better fighter. Guess all we can do is wait to see if the real Mikkel Kessler is still with us.
Noone thought Ward is "supposed the weakest". Look at the odds at the bookmakers... most had Ward third highest of the six.
Styles make fights thats the first thing. He couldnt figure Ward out but agaist Abraham he might pitch out a shutout, you never know. Another thing which fans never consider is that despite training camp and preperation, you can just have a bad day. For example today I played basketball and couldnt find my shot, everything missed, I was slower, my vertical jump was weaker, something was different then a week ago but I have no idea what I guess I had a bad day. Next time it will be different.
I think he's a very good fighter for what he does, but his limited style means that he will come up short against certain styles. He probably can go on to beat some decent fighters.
He's still a good chance for the his remaining 2 fights. He wasn't KO'd like Taylor and the headbutts did a lot of the damage.
Kessler is a good fighter, I would never bash on him, he just fought a better opponent even HE admitted that. Only bad thing about Kessler on this site is he got neighborhood pub rejects as fans, yes you know who I'm talking about, Calzaghe fans. So you get the idea. He's a good fighter and he's not out of it and not even close, Ward just shocked everyone. He just has losers as fans because Calzaghe said two or three good things about him. Of course Calzaghe will say good things about him, he's the best win on Calzaghe's resume.
Yeah, this wasn't the Kessler who fought Mundine and Andrade because Ward is not Andrade or Mundine. Will you understand that line?, doubt it, you have James "the buffet king" Toney as an avatar.
Jesus some people are ****ed in the head and will abandon all logic in their efforts to discredit a fighter they hate It brings out the ***** in many, especially the camel ****er above :yep
no man, what I saw is that Kesslers jab and the footwork weren't there. Plus he couldn't pull the trigger. Do you understand that? Maybe you should pay attention to such things. Listen, we all know you don't like Toney and his fans. If you have a problem with Toney and can't sleep well because of it, that's fine with me. But stop this **** about discrediting anything Toney fans here post, solely because of them being Toney fans. This thread wasn't even about James Toney. You're obsessed man, calm down. You're behaving like a 12 year old.
One loss after Calzaghe and he's a hype job with no talent. Seriously some people forget that he had a career before the Super 6 and that there was a reson he was picked. I don't see him beating Dirrell but he has a great chance against Froch. He may not win the whole thing but he will be champion again.
kessler will come back strong. He'll beat froch and direll. since the super six is decided on points he could still win it with two kos
kessler is no hype,he just wasnt there. ward is a decent enough fighter but i cant see him winning the tournament.
