Must be to completely spoil the match. No way do I see him being able to outbox Mikkel from a technical standpoint.
Not writing this ´cause I´m danish, but I´ve just seen Wards fight against Miranda (who is no class act in my opinion). He gets away with being way to open only since Miranda is to busy parading and putting on a show rather than following up on several oppotunities to land direct punches after having broken through Wards guards.

Kessler wont be making that mistake.

If I were Ward i´d be rewatching the Calzaghe vs Kessler over and over again. Herein lies the answer.

Kessler is, again i my opinion only, the better boxer in terms of routine, power, technical skills and upperbody movement.

I rate speed skills as pretty even.

However Kessler may have lost to Calzaghe in a majority of rounds, bu did he really get hit that much? Sure he took a beating through parts of the fight, but really it also came down to number of punches thrown by Calzaghe. Check the stats if You disagree, and compare thrown punches to landed punches.

I´m not gonna cry about hometown referees. I really don´t see Showtime risking the integrity of the Super Six by pulling a result out of their sleeve that would not only kill off the integrety of the tournament and the viewing on boxing in general.

Wards chance is to throw a hell of a lot more punches than Kessler, avoid the jab, 1-2 boxing and the right hand of Kessler, while remembering not to let his one hand down guarding.

If Ward can do that, and still manage to to keep his stamina for 12 rounds this might be his chance.

If not, i reckon that Kessler is too big of a challenge. Kessler doesn´t get hit often, and throwing punches without hitting tires. And 36 minutes is a long time if You run out of air or ideas.

Hope for a great fight tonight (for some of You), and early tomorrow morning (for some of us).

Regardless of post I still have Kessler to win it by a round 8 or 9 KO/TKO.

Ward has a great chance, he has speed and is a better boxer I think he wins by UD.

Ward will make this a mismatch early and coast.

True story.

12 Rounds is a long time. The thing with Kessler is that he is dangerous all 12. He has power late.
