    funny match up, in that I always felt that Kessler was somewhat overawed by the Crowd & total Calzaghe Support that night. Kessler started strong, but seemed to lose his confidence or stride or whatever it was and ultimately the fight, in what was not a great fight, not uncommon for a JC bout.

    Anyhow, he should/could give Eubank a good bout, but much as I dislike him, Eubank, he was strong & in shape and often equally pulled off a sloppy victory.

    Regretfully, I'd have to say Eubank, but at his best, I believe too, that Kessler 'could' beat him.

    Eubank on points, faster and more athletic, he wins if he doesn’t come in lethargic.
