ount me in. Always been a big fan from the time I saw him(pre Eubank) interviewed in the studio saying he could beat Eubank,Benn and Collins easily. I liked his style
im hoping for a kessler win , but to claime kessler knows how to handle calzaghe cause he used to train with m.larsen is in my opinion a bit naive! they dont even get close in there style and other than witch foot they put infront i dont really see your point m8
I'm in. Joe's fought people like Kessler before but Mikkel's never fought anybody like Joe; he's in too deep.
Joe Calzaghe knows how to box orthodox stance fighters. That is no advantage for Kessler, just the lack of another huge disadvantage.
Patty cake, Patty cake, baker's man. Calzaghe needs to learn to use his fist not his hand. If he continues to slap like the ***** that he is. Kessler can easily handle his biz.
Since when has Kessler been a fighter that's all over his opponent from the first bell? Andrade was the one doing the pressuring in his last fight, but he lacked the speed and skill to catch him. Kessler simply backed up and waited for Andrade to stop before launching his own assault. He barely tried to catch him coming in. Calzaghe's going to exploy the same tactics without having to worry too much about being caught going forward. The difference here, however, is that Joe has the speed, skills and angles to catch Kessler and apply that pressure for 12 rounds, not allowing Mikkel a chance to set himself and launch the 1-2 combo. Kessler doesn't have a good enough lead right to discourage Joe from doing it either; Calzaghe's going to force the pace and be all over him from round 1.
Count me in for sure ! Followed Calzaghe since the late 90´s and I must say he´s one of my top favourite fighters. Calzaghe UD
Or maybe Kessler is just that skillfull, to dominate a great pressure fighter for 12 rounds, showing great footwork and worldclass accuracy! Depends on the eyes wathing. Andrade is no push-over and I bet you that the top 5 at 168, are going to avoid Andrade for as long as possible.
They wont, any good fighter would lick there lips at fighting Andrade. He is seriously limited as a boxer and a good technical fighter will pick him off easily, as Kessler showed.
Totally agreed fluxstuff. Anyone with any boxing knowledge what so ever would see that Andrade was just a slow journeyman fighter and that anyone with half of Calzaghe's speed or experience would have bust Kessler up.
