Im a big fan of Kessler...but his fights after the Calzaghe fight haven“t been up to the standard he had earlier. Not so long ago Kessler stated that he would retire soon...possibly after the super six. Would a fighter in his prime make such a statement ? is his hands causing problems or is it his back ? It was also very worrying the way he got rocked by a hook from Sartison. Kessler was clearly on wobbly feet for a few seconds but he recovered well. Is Kessler past his prime ??? If Kessler can find his old level he definetely has a chance against Ward, but Ward is a great boxer and he has the home advantage.
Ward has more versatility than Calzaghe? Do you think Kessler is slow? I hope Ward doesn't run as much as Dirrel. That is all I am asking for. I dont care if he wins or looses. Just in HOW he fights.
Ward is not in the same class as Calzaghe, not ever close. Kessler will knock Ward out. This fight will be in Ward's home town, with his judges, referee, etc. too.
