Agreed skel. No way in hell I'd favor Joppy at anything. He's won his last two fights...but not against anyone of Kessler's caliber.Quote:

But....Joppy? FFS I thought we were rid of Joppy, talk about a sacrificial lamb, Kessler's far bigger and far better. Plus I just don't like Joppy, he brings no intrigue to a bout cause you know he's gonna lose. No way he wins, no way. And I like to think there's always a chance for virtually anybody to win a fight on a given night, that's out the window with this fight, not gonna happen. Even some unknown, untested power puncher would be better cause at least there would be the smallest bit of intrigue, there's none here, this is a easy sparring session, and the commission or whatever organization Kessler has a belt in should veto it.
I know he may be having trouble finding a fight but there's gotta be somebody besides Joppy, I mean anybody.....hmm, where's RicanChamp :detective:
I think it should be a good fight, Joppy is a skilled veteran and durable if nothing else. Hopkins and Taylor couldn't finish him so it's a chance to see how powerful Kessler really is. If he can stop Joppy it will look good for him. If Joppy is able to keep him off him for 12 rounds then Kessler may not look so special after this fight.
But...if Joppy runs from Kess like he did from Taylor...then it's Joppy who does'nt look so special...what the fwock...Joppy hasn't looked special in 4-5 years.Quote:

Sloppy Joppy should not be fighting still, IMO. I can't see him being affective. I have Tito vs Joppy, and I can't watch it enough. Joppy should retire. If he wins, I'll faint.
