I think Kessler struggles to dominate southpaws but Ward is yet to fight a top ranked super middle.

I dont think he has the power to make Kessler think or the activity to outwork him but he does have that awkward stance that can Make Kessler miss and look poor.

It depends on how much confidence Calzaghe took out of him.

To my knowledge Ward is an orthodox but yes he can box southpaw as well. Yes Ward can give Kessler a lot of trouble, being the second best fighter of the tournament after Mikkel IMO, but in the end I think Kessler will triumphs.

Voted Kessler points but hope Ward wins.

Kessler by stoppage in the 10th. I think he's got just that bit too much for Ward, particularly with regards to power.

Kessler for me 7th round KO.

P.S, does anyone now if the fight is on British tele? Cheers

Kess wins the whole thing, said it long ago.

Voted Kessler by KO in a tough fight, ward will give Kess plenty to think about early on.

Ward is not quite good as southpaw, so why does he do it? He may confuse opponents at a lower level, but not Kessler

Andre Ward Vs Mikkel Kessler Live Boxing Primetime Sky 480

I've just answered my own question - I don't believe there has been any promo for this fight in the UK! Can't believe they're having the cheek to charge, neither are british fights and we just got to see 2 superstars for free on Sky Sports. Mind you atleast primetime are giving us the chance to see it. Me? I'll be heading to justin.tv if I can be arsed to stay up all night!

f*ck me we agree on something

Kessler KO/TKO

Kessler late stoppage.

I believe that Kessler will take this, KO.

Kessler has not met any particulaly good boxers since Calzaghe which makes me a bit nervous, but the loss and secondly the frustrations regarding Calzaghe refusing a rematch, must have added positive on Kessler, making him a better boxer, and wanting to be the best even more.

Kessler is in great shape, but he will have a lot coming his way before he can triumph as the best of them all, even if he is a favorite to win.

Crossing my Danish fingers.

It's going to be a H*ll of a fight!!! Looking forward to it. :)
