    I'm not seeing it too much. Sure they set up the way in a basic sense, they look to control with the jab and then find the overhand right. But aesthetically they don't appear that similar in the ring, and I'm not talking about one being black and the other white :p

    The closest to Kessler is his compatriot Mads Larsen.

    Ehmmm:huh

    Larsen?

    He is a counterpunching southpaw! They are not similar in any sense if you ask me.

    Kessler and JMM is more obvious to compare imo.

    There are similarities, but LL's style was similar to that of European boxers (well balanced, lots of straight punches, straight up kinda style). Obviously Kessler fits that bill with him being Danish!

    Well, its a compare that hopefully gives Kessler fans hope for the super 6 victory..

    Cuz that boxing style will go all the way!!! And similar to European boxers???

    Froch and AA would wish they had those skills... Name top class european boxers that fights like this atm.. i can only think of a couple..

    I never said there were any that fight like them atm, well at least not with that same skill level, im just saying the styles are similar technique and stance wise.

    There are some similiarities. Upright. Good jabs, big right hands.

    Lewis was more versatile.

    Kessler was a lot more consistent from the outside and didn't get lazy at times.

    Its funny.. This style works very well at heavyweight.. Because its difficult to outbox that at that weight.

    Only style to destroy Kesslers boxing style, is to ruin it...Tactical fight.. Froch will get ko 8, and ward will loose on split.. I think Ward will be the only 1 in super 6 who will fight Kessler the right way, only he is just not experienced enough yet.
