The difference in power is the key to victory

Sure Ward may switch hit, but despite having 'reasonably' fast hands, his feet are fairly static and he does not use distance very well and seems rooted to the spot when the going gets tough

Kessler by T/KO 9-10 round


Your Thoughts??

I hope that the son of God doesn't have holes in his hands and can be resurrected or his lifetime in that tournament could be short lived against Kessler.

Kessler KO 7

yeah I got Kessler as well, don't think he'll get the stoppage though, maybe a 8-4 on the cards.

If I was a betting man I would say Kessler, but since I am not I am going with Ward UD. Home crowd will inspire Ward, it won't phase Kessler though. People are really going to see something special from this kid. He is fighting him at the right time. Kessler hasn't fought anyone decent in a long time.

Kessler will dominate Ward down the stretch and possibly stop him. Ward is out of his league with Kessler.

ward starts off strong early on and maybe wins the opening 3/4round exchanges.

But by 5 kessler will be in his stride and picking off ward at will and by 8/9 ward would of run out of ideas and it`ll all be about whether kessler wants to stop him and whether ward has it in him to take a 12round beating!

Reckon wards corner may just get him out of there around 10/11

I can see Kessler starting strong and ending strong; might not stop him but I can see a 118-112 here.

Ward has the potential to win rounds against Kessler and it is in Ward's hometown. With the Dirrell/Froch fight, it may be too early in his career for Ward to fight Kessler. Right now and it may change as it gets closer to the fight, I say Kessler by split decision.

I think Kessler in 4. Not because Ward will get blown away, but I think Kessler will come out fast & try to surprise him & Ward will get caught with a few & will be stopped pretty early. I've no idea why I think this, I've just decided I will. Anyone know when the next round of fights is after this?

Kessler will get disgracefully robbed.

There is NO CHANCE the No.1 European is getting the decision in the American's backyard after the humiliation of Team USA in the first two fights.

Even if Kessler KO's Ward they'll DQ him. Fact.

That would only be fair and I'm in favor of it.

Kessler no problems for me!

oh c`mon fenst, lets not get all eugene williams about this

Im quite sure that in this day and age the judges on show will be unbyest and will score the fight fairly.....




*****ducks for cover*****

I'm just telling it like it is. The Truth.

This shebang is run by whom? SHOWTIME!!! They're American, right? Do you think they would've started a USA-vs-Europe contest if they thought America was gonna get totally humiliated?

Poor Taylor couldn't even finish the comp. Dirrell stunk the joint out moaning and whinging like a baby. Shocking stuff for Team USA. 3-0 down Showtime will pull the plug.

All Ward has to do is stay upright to win. I've heard they've been speaking to Hopkins about helping Ward to perfect some acting moves in case the DQ becomes a necessity.

I love Kessler, but I think he was discouraged by his loss to Calzaghe. Ward could have been more active than he had been in the past, but he's picked it up and I think his heart is GIGANTIC. Ward by lopsided victory in the only American who doesn't lose in this tourney.
