Listen kessler always was overrated I predicted in the ward vs kessler predictions thread exactly how this fight would go. I said it would be a one sided easy victory for ward. #1 kessler has zero head movement #2 his so called power is overrated #3 he clearly has stamina issues - he was blowing hard and slowed down by round 3 #4 he is slow both in hand speed and movement #5 he's basically not fought since the calzaghe fight I don't count his last fight and is therefore very very rusty. Ward did well but lets not get carried away here he beat a b class paper champ. Dirrell impressed me far greater than ward and i shall be proven right when froch easily ko's kessler if kessler still has the balls to take that fight that is which I don't think he will.
I wouldn't put it like that. But I agree that Kessler was overrated and I was also more impressed with Dirrell.
Like one person said Ward does everything good, nothing great. Kessler was never that good. He never fought anyone, was on a steady diet of journeymen the last 2 years, and displayed little upper body movement and cant defend the jab up the middle. However, he has exceptional speed and countering ability. No slouch, a solid B class fighter. And Ward destroyed him. This is Wards night. Im a Dirrell fan, we'll get to talking later when the Abraham fight is close.
He wont fight froch he will withdraw from the super six and retire :deal Froch could do some serious damage when he's that easy to land on. IF he does take the fight I fear for his health, a guy like froch who isn't very skilled but does have a big punch must be licking his lips at the prospect of fighting kessler.
I don't think Dirrell wouldn't have looked this good against Kessler...but Ward woulda made Froch look like a fool in the ring
Whether or not Ward is special remains to be seen, but he as much natural talent as anyone in the sport today.
this whole post would hold more ground in my book if you posted it before the fight, becouse im pretty sure you wouldent have made it if kessler would have put up a better fight
I can't help but feel that your account is designed for trolling after making this thread and claiming that the Klitschkos have no drawing power.
Dirrell has better natural abilities but didn't show enough guts to engage Froch. Otherwise he would have won a decision.
