I'm not saying he can't, but he'll need to be a 168 lb Willie Pep to avoid getting KTFO, IMO. If he can limit his diet to a forkfull of jabs per round and keep turning Kessler, he'll have a chance to win some rounds. However, twelve is a lot of rounds to keep up that kind of movement...and while Andre has been that deep before it's never been with someone as well-conditioned - or heavy handed.. (and please nobody say Miranda) as Kessler

I was impressed with both...honestly though...Ward's gonna have to take it a bit slower with Kessler. Kess's got a damned sturdy chin & a piston punch jab.
Can't wait for this tourney to get crankin!
Wacko you legend!!!
Where you been mate??

Abraham on the other hand will have a real tough night against Taylor...
Yeah, I think Abraham might struggle with the extra weight, at least Taylor has carried that weight for a few fights now and has some power up at this weight but then, Abraham will be able to work all night whereas Taylor has never been able to do that:p
Totally agree with that...but I still thing that Abraham will persevere.
Taylor's a total disappointment.
No shit...everytime I see an interview or a media excerpt from him...I just have to pass it buy. He'll never NEVER be able to carry the weight for 12 like he should.
I'd love to see Abraham blast him out...& honestly I think that it's gonna be one of Taylor's tuffest bouts...unless your'e dead on the money & Arthur can't pull the weight.
We'll see...in the end I think we'll be looking at a top bill of Kessler & Abraham.
:o
Make a path...make a path.THE man has returned ! Monestary life growing old?;D See the same with Taylor.I think he's one brutal KO away from hanging em up for good.
Re: Andre Ward and Kessler fights..
Well it's always kinda sad to think a guy with Taylor's skills need to hang them up, but true, should he be losing this one, he should consider what he wants to do. I had high hope and expectations for him till Pavlik and Froch fights. but still the guy has skills !!
I would never ever believe that he won't work on his stamina level (Taylor) after what he went through the Froch experience. this guy should be running like never.
Now, Abraham is a strong person, he really can punch hard and has good stamina. He can also box, it's going to be a "win or die" situation for both, definitely watch this one !!
Hey, Wacko, really happy to see you back here. Guess you're still on Boxing :-)

The words "Abraham" and "work all night" do not belong in the same sentence. However, I'm hoping the move up in weight will result in an increase in his activity in the ring.

I think it will come down to him and Abraham, and that's a fight to get excited about. I would love to see that match up.
Do you think it will be in Germany? I would go if the fight were held in the US.

Well, he moved training from Florida to Houston for this fight. Maybe it will play a role in his stamina. At times, Abraham looks invincible, but he can be beat because he takes a lot of time to hit his stride. A boxer/puncher with movement who can stay away from him has a chance of winning a fight against Abraham on the cards.
Ward looked good. Kessler looked good. I'm not sure Ward has the punching power to keep Kessler off him for 12 rounds, but he may be sufficiently ellusive to keep out of range and win on points. Does Kessler throw anything but a jab and a right (his jab is excellent though)? And I agree with someone post that he looked a little bit slower than he has in the past.
Re: Andre Ward and Kessler fights..
I think him looking slower was %20 ring rust and %80 finding southpaws awkward, he doesnt let his rights go as freely and hesitates and I think that has a lot to do with Calzaghe.
As for him only throwing a jab and straight right, he has a nice uppercut that nearly took Joes head off;D
He did open up here a couple of times and show some speed but I think he hesitates against a southpaw that Ward naturally is, its going to be quite a competetive bout I think but if you had to pit any of these fighters with the best chance of beating Calzaghe in a comeback it would have to be Kessler.
Re: Andre Ward and Kessler fights..
Kessler looked a bit rusty but vicious when got the openings.
Ward looked real sharp. Not sure about his punching power though. Nothing wrong with a 3rd round stoppage but against a guy Duddy knocked all over the shop in one. Just about did it in time.
