he lost rd 12 i thought. 1 of only 3 rds i had him losing in the entire fight. he lost some later rds against andrade as well. calzaghe can set a crazy pace. can kessler last out. :huh hence the reason it's a valid criticism.
Round 12 against Mundine was close, but I'd probably still give it to Kessler. Against Andrade he was miles ahead and could afford to give away rounds, but having said that I think he won all the rounds in that fight too. If him and Calzaghe are evenly poised, I think you'll see him fighting at a high work rate throughout the later stages of the fight.
I think its pretty clear that Joe keeps a faster pace than Kessler, and I think it will be a factor in the fight. But Kess has shown he can keep up a good pace, he threw something like 800 punches in the Andrade fight, whilst moving around a lot. And landed like 3 punches for every 1 of Andrade's. For record Hitman, I tought Kessler won the last round of the Mundine fight, but it was one of the closer ones. And he never lost a round in Andrade fight, some werent as dominate as others but he outlanded and essentially outboxed Andrade in every single round. I think Kessler slowing down in the Thobela fight, A fight he was in complete control of and under no pressue in, is a more worrying example of his stamina issue.
I think your other avatar was more fun and reflected your personality on this forum better - it was a bit more annoying to look at. :smooch Are you by the way David Bloch - his writings on ESB seems to resemble your views on the fight...
Actually Kessler landed 50% of his punches, while Andrade landed 10%. Maybe he doesn't have JCs stamina, but keeping such a pace he did against Andrade throughout shows that he can do it for 12 rounds. There were hardly any breaks in that match, hardly any clinches at all. Stamina will not decide the outcome of this bout, imo.
I think that post is a contradiction. You give my to much talent comment comment the little scpetical smiley but go on to talk about Joe's style and technique. If Joe is anything its talent. The reason he slaps and fights so unorthodox is because he doesnt have all that much true skill like Kessler but the way he fights works for him, and has worked 43 times without so much as a close fight. Of course he wont fight the same, different fighters, different game plan.
Wow that guy actually writes. Does he get paid?? He aint a complete dumbass but some of his justifications and reasonings are so stupid they're comical. Wouldnt pick him for a journalist.
A lot of writers like to play with an anonymous internet alias to get reactions out of people. I just figure that's the case with Blocky. But his reasoning is pretty good if you take away the insults - but he sure doesn't like my boy, Kessler
