This may sound like simplicity and its finest but, I picked Kessler by hard fought desicion. Father time waits for no man and when its time its time, I think Joe's is about to run out.. Kessler is young and hungry and ready to take his place on top of the SMW mountain...
Calzaghe is gonna break his hands, without a doubt and is gonna be left with his asss hanging in the wind against a really good boxer that shows controled aggression.

when has Joe needed help from the judges?
A lot of people would say in the Robin Reid fight
mate that fight was in england,
reid was the bigger name, joe was welsh and had no real hype or a big following, no way can you accuse that as being a hometown DC in someone esles hometown.
That's not really true, Calzaghe was the attraction, the one going places, Reid was coming off a piss-poor loss to Malinga (barring the gimme fight).
Good answer though for the Reid robbery ::** merchants.
I mean, as if a Londoner like Calzaghe is gonna get a hometown decision against a scouser in geordieland ;)

I think Kess is young & hungry but compared to Joe...he's still a bit green in the skill department.
Joe's fought with broken hands before & pulled it out...I'd expect the same to happen in such an esteemed contest.
Kessler will have a huge HUGE fight on his hands.
I still gotta go with Joe.

I have to say, with all due respect, that Reid put up a very good fight, but not quite good enough. On watching the fight, I think that the two judges who gave it by 5 rounds to Calzaghe were there or thereabouts on the money. I had it by four rounds to Joe, but we can't quibble on details like that. To be honest, I think it was the passionate home crowd and a favourable judge which allowed Robin Reid to actually have a real shout in that fight, and present a more even result between the two guys than it actually was.
Then again, I am a Joe fan, so I'm sure you'll be taking everything I say on the subject with a pinch of salt, whether I'm fair or not.
As for the post by RP33 which started this, I'm afraid that whilst Kessler could well win if he throws a lot of combos, the evidence of his previous performances suggest that throwing 4,5, 6 punch combos are not really in his repetoire, with the 1,1,2, being his main improvement on the 1,2. But, come fight night, if Joe loses fairly and squarely, I'll man up and admit that he was beaten by the better man, as I'm sure he himself will.
Oh come on Super no way Calzaghe won that fight by 4 rounds what fight were you watching ??

Yes but how in the world can you come up with that ?? theres no way Reid lost by 4 rounds it was razor thin fight even the punchstats were even come on Super surely you can't have Reid losing by 4 rounds your the only person i have actually come across who thinks Calzaghe won so clearly by that margin.

Calzaghe beat Reid by 2 IMO....not a great Calzaghe performance. Its all relative though. Lacy beat Reid up.

Basically, although there were a lot of close rounds, I recall seeing Calzaghe edge it by three or four rounds, but to placate you I'll have another look over the weekends, and bring you my scorecard so you can see where I'm coming from.
And JT....you never turn down the sheep "rental" service from the next village when you come over our place for some moonshine and witch burnings...

I got Calzaghe by hard fough decision. I think Kessler is gonna present Joe with his toughest test to date. But I think Calzaghe is the better fighter! Kessler maybe the harder puncher but I feel Joe's speed & boxing ability will prove far superior in the end!
