This very questions is holding me back from plunking some change down on him. I can see him winning the fight by a close but relatively decisive margin, and getting screwed in Wales. :think What are your thoughts? Does Kessler really need to stop Calzaghe? This is what I hate about there types of fights. Should be in Vegas, for equality sake. :good
"If Kessler is ahead" then he'll win... surely that's straightforward. There'll be nothing contraversial here.
Of course. Doesn't every fighter who's ahead in a close fight get the decision? This is BOXING. C'mon.
I'm afraid he'll have to directly outbox Calzaghe to have just a slight chance of getting a decision win.:-( Just look at who practically chose the judges.
Tito won a close decision in Vegas against Hoya and the scoring system should be like a flat certainty, a pure image of the box activity in the scorecards... The same cannot be said about external factors affecting the judges at ringside - once the rounds go by, so each round scoring gets to be a closed case and cannot be reverted, so how much weight has the atmosphere on the human beings who score?... Kessler has to win conclusively or else, he's gonna lose a close decision or earn something like a majority draw.
That is why I will be forced to lay off the fight. :verysad Sucks too, because I think Kessler would win on neutral ground.
As long as a joke stoppage a la Manfredo doesn't happen, I'll be happy and maybe even a little surprised.
Do you little moron really think that the UK and Warren is fair play? Did you saw M´Baye vs. Kotelnik. **** off.... Kessler never ever gets a decision if its close.
