Thread: Kessler vs. Sakio Bika sparring photos

I found this in a anohter forum

"Real lineage lay in the WBC and WBA. The IBF and WBO are merely splinter groups. The WBC is actually a splinter group of the WBA but it had purpose and united the remaining organisations i.e. EU, BBBofC etc

There was no man to beat so unification of the belts had to be done. Kessler did this.

Calzaghe can be deemed 'the best' but he is not 'the man'.

In this day and age being 'the best' means something.

Historically and officially the number 1 and 2 (if the man isn't around) is dictated by being the WBC and WBA champ.

It is a myth that the IBF or WBO have anything to do with lineage. The IBF only became known because good fighters fight for it but major fighters are fighting for the IBO now. This does not mean it becomes a part of lineage!"

Ha ha

If Kessler is the future of super midle then that division is going to be very boring for a few years to come

I hope there is some pics or vids of Kessler getting dropped, he is boring

And before you say 'How do u know?' - because Teymour told me he was heading out for 2 weeks and was back after 4 days.

Really

Just wondering CoG, haven't been able to find the answer out anywhere...why was Teymour's last fight a no decision?

Why hasnt Eric been fighting ?

Though I question the credibility of your statemen even IF it is true how much emphasis can be put on a 'Gym War' story?
Was it a knock out, knockdown or maybe it was a flash knockdown he might have slipped
Anyway.....
You wanna be amused I once read JLC gave JCC fits during sparring on a few occasions. Exactly what did it mean?
Not much JCC kept wining and that was that....

I mean these things might happen I personally would put the house down that if they fought Kessler takes him out.

Lots

Kessler couldnt take the shot wearing big sparring gloves, he went down

Well its always nice to guess or dream but what matters is what happens in the ring in 2 weeks time.

Some answers about kesslers defence Andrade against may show us wether or not if Kessler has glass jaws.

The text from team palle also states that Bika does not see Kessler as a typical KO boxer but that Kesslers power and speed in the jabs thats what is getting to him. And that all of the punches are delivered with more power than Calzaghe.

But this info is from the Danish camp so take it for what it is,

And like I said how much credibility is there in the story?
Nor you or I OR for that matter CityOfGod were there so we don't really know what happened.....

As I said before leave the Gym War stories there in the gym and do what you gotta do in the ring come fight night.....

Ishe Smith has been giving a handful of fighters fits during sparring, uuummmmmm!!
What happened against Sechew?

Whoever mentioned about the weight lifting picture being dangerous is spot on, Kessler has no back support on, he isnt even lifting it right because his back is arched backwards, why would you risk a comodity like a world champion fighter like this ?

Hasnt Kessler had back problems in the past ?

The idiot trainers who are allowing him to lift weights with poor technique should be imediatly sacked.

Can anybody who lifts weights or who are body builders here confirm that ?

It looks a really poor setup

Yeah, was me who said it personal trainer (well... training to be one) and Amateur boxer... but you don't need the type of background I have to see that his upper back is way out align with the rest of his body... unless he's lucky he'll end up with a lumbago problem... way to much pressure on the discs of his middle to lower back

Looks like a banana standing up... to be honest I have no idea how that lift is benificial... if his posture is deliberate and not just being missed by lazy trainers then asuming outside of his traps/delts/tris that it has something to do with working his core... shoulder press on a smith ball would be safe and actually work

Looks like a bit of a crappy se up for a world class boxer... a contender... let alone a champ...

Nasty small ring... one horrible looking bag and a weights bench... I know we can't see the whole gym but I can't imagine the rest of it being any less sparse...

It's a credit to Kessler I suppose... obviously a very athletic man and capable boxer... despite how mickey mouse those pictures make his team look.

Thats why i love Saddo .

Seriously though those pictures of Kessler make me wish i was a woman .

I think im gay .

Just sad clicked you, to think that is gay, let alone to share it with us

Kessler is da man !

i wonder if mikel only writes with his left hand? and that tat is a bit much i reckon. wonder if it has any tribal meaning or is it just a big mess on his arm.
that gym looks like my garagge back home. not very impressive for a world champion.
