    You would have to give the slight edge to Kessler in all seriousness

    I think you can conclude that, at least some of, the americans wants to see a beat up Calzaghe.

    As a bookie you make Kessler a very, very slight favorite.

    The fact that the odds are so close, even in Britain (Calzaghe being a legend and the name fighter) indicate Kessler is likely to win.

    If the odds are even, bet on the lesser name (especially when against a loud mouth). You could make a living following that rule.

    Spot on Sai!!!!

    Kessler is a great fighter but he has never gone against anyone anywhere near as fast, tactical and powerful as Joe Calzaghe.

    Kessler has a few things going for him, his long accurate right being his greatest asset but in reality he may as well send Joe a postcard by the time it arrives.

    I really don't rate Kessler as puncher either, if he can't KO Mundine or flaw Andrade with all those clear cut punches he landed on Andrades chin I'm of the opinion Kessler is only good at chinning out bums.

    Regards,


    John

    Too bad so few has been able to receive the postcard so far. Would be funny if we see, JC get beaten by his own game; death by accumulation.

    Im really suprised that so many people are picking Kessler via stoppage.

    He aint that big a puncher, for nearly 3 times as many people to pick Kessler to stop Joe over Joe to stop Kess is a bit weird.

    This is going the rounds, neither is a huge puncher, they both are sound defensively and both are elite enough to survive to the final bell.
