    Green went out like Roy in that one. Speaking of Roy, I always wanted to see him do one of those demon smiles when he got KTFO like Green did there but sadly it wasn't meant to be.

    As for Kessler. I've posted that clip of him before the Beyer fight (RIP) where his S&C was talking about how Kessler's body was falling apart due to injury and how it affected him a lot mentally.

    Wow, I'm shocked. He couldn't have been older than 45 or 46. And wasn't he a two-time Olympic medalist? That's a shame, he was always a class act.

    Yes. Ghost Dog replaced Jermain Taylor in Group Stage II, because the Abraham kayo was so brutal that Jermain had to withdraw from the whole tourney.

    Fighting extremely shopworn and past it guys, who are no more than club level at this point usually provides for nice KOs.

    And I never rated Kess a real devastating puncher.

    This post peak pre post prime KO was impressive.

    Some of us would look like Devastating punchers if we connected on this version of Green

    Yeah, and? It was 2½ years after Kessler fought eleven rounds with the second greatest super middleweight of all time, with an eye injury for seven of those rounds. It was two years after Kessler fought in a FOTY candidate against prime Carl Froch. Pardon me for thinking maybe this wasn't a daisy-fresh Mikkel, either. :rolleyes:
