    kessler in an easy decision. as a big fan of aa, he couldn't get past that jab and pressure kessler effectively.

    Some are very good,but there are a lot of weak ones.Anyway Kessler is one of them that would own any 168 lb american.Abraham would give Pavlik a hard fight(that to not say beat him),Taylor didn't have a pair to fight Froch etc.

    If Euros are of great concern you might want to look away from threads concerning 2 European fighters. You'll probably be struggling for topics of discussion though, since Europeans dominate upwards of middleweight.

    Whoever says Abraham wins this is seriously dim. Abraham is not busy enough to win this. Plus, there is NO indication that he would be able to connect flush on Kessler.

    Kessler UD.

    Kessler late ko

    Kessler is the bigger, stronger man.

    He has better skills and a better workrate and variety.

    Kessler would break Abraham down, and around the mid rounds start sitting down on his punches and he would get rid of Arthur in around 10.

    Obviously it wouldnt be as simple or as easy as that but i think Kessler is way to good for Abraham.

    Let me point it out in this way: If Abraham wins this fight on points, I would easily favour him to clean out the whole divsion - no one else would **** around with him...so I'll give AA a 10% chance to win on points and maybe 20% to win via KO.

    Kessler is clearly the superior boxer with some great skills, decent power and ring-intelligence - who would make it at 168 if not him?

    Agreed, but AA has his puncher's chance and we can only predict who would win. A surprise is definitely possible, because AA would do anything he can to win the fight. He's a very tough guy with a great fighting spirit. This isn't an easy fight for Kessler. He has to be very concentrated as long as the fight lasts. I don't think Kessler can win by KO. Most likely it will end with an UD win for Kessler.

    I'll lean to Kessler in this matchup, but a devastating punch from Abraham can always change things around.. I doubt Abraham will move up though.. I think he'll sit at 160 and conquer for some time..

    Thats funny. Abraham could win by KO/TKO but never by decision unless the judges are German/Armenian and the fight is in Germany.

    Kessler would most likely jab AA in the face all night and he would win by wide UD if not late tko.

    :huh

    Why do you think that? Abraham has a bigger punch, for sure, and possibly a better chin, and at a stretch, a little more heart, but...why would Kessler struggle with him, keeping the fight on the outside with his jab and his 1-2 ?

    I also said he was a very good fighter so we're both in agreement on that thunder. There's no denying how good this guy is. I've seen him win fights in numerous different way, that's the making of a great champion, pulling it out of the bag when your backs agianst the wall. I seriously wouldn't count him out vs Pavlik, or against anyone in general, i rate him that highly ..
