SPOILER:
Kessler controlled the first 2 rounds, easily, measuring Perdomo. By the 3rd he picked it up a bit and came the first KD. Was only a matter of time for the walking target and the outclassed Perdomo TKO'd in the 4th. They called it a KO. Maybe so.
Not much of a match for the fans unless you simply wanted to see a one-sided romp.
I clocked it at 30 seconds of ring rust, and then Kess started putting his punches together, Perdomo did get a little work to the body done in the first two rounds, but couldn't sustain his attack enough. Probably good the Kess did this because of his long layoff, the 1st round he looked ok after that he looked pretty sharp.
They are showing this fight in states tonight I think 9 pm eastern time on Showtime, probably find a stream on Justin.tv , along with Andre Ward's fight. Kessler and Ward is the fight I want to see most out of this tournament so far.
The 4 round knock down

Well Kessler said he didn´t knock Perdomo down in the 3rd round, only on the shoulder, so that was not a knockdown.
I thought Kessler looked slower than usual, I hope I am wrong, because it is the speed he needs to handle Ward.
As predicted an easy fight for Kessler :cool: but maybe it was a wise choice to put him in the ring before super 6 ,to get the ring rust away
Pehaps Kessler was a bit slower, but i think he had more punch-power and i think Kessler will KO Ward BADLYQuote:
