    Benn beat a lot of naturally men during his career. Benn on points for me although Kessler may do something in the future to make it a harder pick.

    See Benn-Malinga. And Malinga is not even in Kessler's league for jab.

    Very interesting fight. I think the longer it goes on, the better it is for Kessler. If Benn can't get him out in the first half of the fight, I think Mikkel would win.

    Benn would probably have to get rid of Kessler early, or Kessler would establish his jab, control the distance, and win a decision.

    I'd have to agree.

    I think this is a bad fight for Benn, i see Kessler controlling the whole fight and stopping the dark destroyer middle rounds after really frustrating him
