Calzaghe, Kessler comments!
www.fightnews.com The war of words between super middleweight champions Joe Calzaghe and Mikkel Kessler has started months before their November 3 superfight in Cardiff, Wales. "There's no way I'm going to lose the fight because I'll be in the best shape of my life and when I'm at my best no one can beat me," says Calzaghe, who wants to be remembered as possibly the greatest super middleweight ever. "His style suits me. He's a very solid European-style fighter - quite upright and someone who comes in straight lines."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kessler called Calzaghe "an awkward fighter who throws a lot of punches but slaps a lot, too....I don't want to reveal my tactics, but I'll keep my distance as usual. I'm a more intelligent fighter than Calzaghe....I know that I'm number one in the division and I'm going to kick his ass
Re: Calzaghe, Kessler comments!
Well Kess better really execute his plan to a T... And he better take advantage of Joes mistakes/bad habits that he has.
Speaking of that.....
Oh! Fenster.... ;D The other day you rolled your pannies up in a bunch when I mentioned Joe slaps his punches you said I was getting tiring and old with it... Well look I didn't need to say it in this thread Kess himself said it... :D

Its funny when the Calzaghe fans get fired up. I was told by a couple the other day that Calzaghe had a better record than Hopkins. Also Jones Junior was scared of Joe. All the great middle/supermiddle/lightheavy fightrs of the last 10 years have ducked Joe and he doesnt duck anyone. Its amazing their loyalty and one eyed support.
Re: Calzaghe, Kessler comments!
Just about everyone whos fought Calzaghe has called him a slapper - still 43 and 0 so I guess he slaps pretty damn hard.
Re: Calzaghe, Kessler comments!
He says in his biography that he throws his punches so fast he does not have time to "turn them over" properly so they do look like slaps , if he threw them all turned over he would have slower handspeed and more power, but he chooses the speed.
Re: Calzaghe, Kessler comments!
Nice to see some comments from Kessler on the fight too, although they're generic enough that they could have been from before the fight.
I think Kessler will struggle to keep the distance between them, cause although he's got a good jab Calzaghe has the footwork and movement to slip that and get in pretty quick, and the punches don't always come from straight in front of you if you're fighting JC.
Already looking forward to November....going to be a cracker!

Calzaghe v Kessler could attract a world record crowd
Mikkel Kessler has built the heat ahead of his 3 November super middleweight unification bout with Joe Calzaghe by claiming that the Welshman "slaps".
A shocking accusation that is totally without merit IMO. ;D
Re: Kessler: Calzaghe is a slapper!
didnt lacy say he slaps ???
whatever happened to that guy ???
Re: Kessler: Calzaghe is a slapper!
Kessler deserves a slap for being so fucking unoriginal

Surely you don't find the old "one-two" boring Fenster....and occasionally, to really mix it up, young kesler does double up the jab for a "one-one-two". How much more exciting would you want?
Re: Kessler: Calzaghe is a slapper!
On fight night Calzaghe will be slapping the hell out of Kessler!
Re: Kessler: Calzaghe is a slapper!
Ah the old familiar routine. Calzahe picks an opponent, opponent is bullish about coming to Wales and dethroning the champ, opponent sees weaknesses in Calzaghe's style, opponent accuses Calzaghe of slapping his shots, opponent vows to make Calzaghe pay, opponent arrives in the UK for fight, opponent get a** spanked and is sent back on an easyjet to wherever they came from, opponent becomes a bum. 8)

I think Kessler is a good fighter...IMO he will be the best on Joe's resume....But far from great
I will give Joe credit if he beats Kessler for finally cleaning out all possible worthy challenges in his division...
Something that should have been done long long ago.....
I like Joe...I think he is good for boxing..He portrays a good image and is always respectful......
I don't like the years of broken promises and excuses......
Something I attribute more to his promoter then anything....But Joe has to take a large part of that blame...He has a say in who he fights and when.....
I promise you Calzaghe is like Warrens pride and joy...Fat Ass Frankie would do backflips if Calzaghe wanted him too
