That Danish press is so quick off the mark.

Was it a sort of ceremonial signing to help promote the fight in Denmark? I'm sure it would have all been tied up before this when tickets etc went on sale. You coming over jangeorg? We're having a saddo's meet and greet beforehand, where everyone gets (even more) drunk.

Yes,i coming over to Cardiff

Kessler said yesterday that it ain't going to be easy against the fast Calzaghe..

but Calzaghe is beatable and only a human being..

Kessler is convinsed that if he lands 1/3 of the big shots that he did against Andrade on Joe...

the welsh-man will kiss the floor because his chin is weaker then Andrade's..


I think the shots Andrade took were out of this world. Everybody has a china chin compared to him.

Kessler also said that it would be difficult to find a sparring partner with the same style and explosiveness as Calzaghe.


What do you guy`s thinks,will Calzaghe be floor if Kessler hit`s Calzaghe with some big shots that he did against Andrade ??

I think the big question is whether Kessler will be able to catch him. He is obviously faster than Lacy, and won't be so comprehensively outboxed, but I believe (hope) that Calzaghe will be able to avoid enough of Kessler's power shots to go to a points win, or even wear Kessler down in the last few rounds.

I wouldn't be too surprised if Calzaghe goes down to a flash knockdown, but he'll have been sparring with Enzo Maccarinelli, so I'm hoping he'll have the power shot resistance to get back up.

Calzaghe will be harder to catch than Andrade. But Kessler can cope with a fast pace. And Joe isn't hard to hit with right hands.

Calzaghe has looked messy of recent. I think Kessler has a good chances. If Mario Veit can nearly drop him with a straight right, Kessler can drop him.

Kessler will probably make a slow start but I think he gets the measure of Joe.

If Kessler is able to take a step over to the side and rattle off 4 punch combos on the blindside,Calzaghe won't know what's hit him.

It's about time!

Since when has Kessler been a murderous puncher?

I think those comments are quite telling. Seems like he's banking on the KO. And trying to convince himself he can get it because Cazlaghe wont be able to take the shots the limited plodder Andrade did...oh dear.
