Just saw the video where they push their heads together and someone says ""no butting" and im think "woot.....its on". Im pumped already. They both pushed their heads together and were grinning like winners. Methinks Calzaghe was going for intimidation.
yeah it should be a ripper. whenever i see two opponents grin like sharks i feel it's gonna be a war. geez im getting excited even more so if that is possible!
[yt]9MezCyQ8sJE&eurl=http://www.frankwarren.tv/drill/index.php[/yt] JC was doing his "I am the alpha male" routine; Kessler wasn't having it... Joe: "We both have a lot of respect for each other, but it's going to be a war, it's GOING TO BE A WAR, on Saturday night!"
If I were to analyse it, Calzaghe was initiating and Kessler didnt like it. He pushed back and Calzaghe replyed and Kessler stopped doing it (maybe he thought it would esculate). Joe came back to him again and Kessler tried to push him off with his forehead. Then it stopped. Pre fight staredown......draw.
Joe SD...he initiated, Mikkel didn't look confortable and baked down a bit...he came back in a nervous way but pushed Joe back...Joe looked more relaxed and confident...just.
That was my initial thought, but Kessler didnt lose the grin and Calzaghe seemed a bit too keen. Also Kessler did come back with a more agressive push (like..**** off). Either way they seem fired up.
How cruel would it of been if one of them went a bit too hard with the head and either picked up a cut ruling them out of the fight...............
nothing to it. my guess if you see the build up to it they were asked to stand nose to nose for the photo`s.
Good interview. I'll say one thing for Calzaghe, he has respect for his opponents, always. Maybe FMJ should watch and learn.
