I will go with Kessler. The reasons are obvious (and stated on an articel on the main page). However Ward still is an unknown quantity - just how much can he take from the amateurs to the pros? Great fight to wait for!
This iis a awesome match-up,I like both guys.I can't wait for them to get it on. I think I'm gonna take Kessler.Not sure.Fight week will close and I ''ll chose a guy. Hope the fight is great.
Ward has too much for kessler. Kessler will look ordinary and won't handle the speed. Once ward dances on kessler he cant land. All kessler does is plant his feet throw a 1,2 then follow again. He was getting outboxed by pedermo ffs.
I like ward and ward to win the super six. I think ward is the most complete fighter in the tourney. Kessler is gonna be the toughest opponent in the tourney and i dont really understand why they would match the two best fighters in the first round. Also, i think the format of the tourney is wak. With that being said i like ward.
Home advantage , excellent body punching, superior work rate flashy speed Ward wide UD....easy....and the danish fraud gets exposed
Ward can win this fight, he's the faster man hands and feet. He's got good head movement solid defensive skills but the thing in this fight, just like in the Dirrell-Froch fight, is how long can he last in the ring with Kessler. I think Ward has the skill to lead on cards but I think at some point late in the fight he could get rocked by a right hand and at that point he'll need to hold on for dear life. Other than Taylor none of our guys have tested chins so will see what happens when they taste some power. I'm sticking by Ward in this one though, I just think he will outbox Kessler here.
Perdomo took at least 1 of those rounds convincingly. He's not fast, he's not a great defensively. A guy with a little bit of power who can beat him to the punch will do some damage to him, and Andre is that guy IMO.
So what if Kessler lost the two first rounds? He knocked the guy out in the fourth. Abraham has lost lots of early rounds and gone on to knock out his opponents. Perdomo set an extremely high pace in the first two rounds. He could never have kept that up.
I favor ward by UD. I wonderwhy Ward has not benn pushed into Golden star light as Oscar was??? He a good lokking young American who won a Gold Medal.
