Im no Columbo (well I do have a dirty overcoat but thats another story) but I suspect that this will become the next stick to beat Calzaghe with. The board will be full of 'stay at home Joe, Kessler has the balls to travel' ect ect. Joe being prepared to go to Denmark for the fight will be quickly forgotten.

---

F*** 'um:P calzaghe agreed to go there, they cudn't do it...

------

I know alot of people ahve ben whining and moaning about this fight taking so long to happen, but right now i, for one am glad!

simple reason... there aint no F****** way (apart form a dubious DC) that calzaghe can't get massive respect after he beats kessler...

FACT - if he had fought and whooped kessler instead of fighting bika the entire world would be screaming "ANOTHER MARIO VIET" this has taken so long, all the experts have chimed in, all forums have been non stop buzz, all the non fans or neutrals have been calling this very close and kessler very skilled all because its taken so long and people have had chance to see him...

I know joe has been syaing for a while he wanted him to raise his profile, maybe he was sick of not getting respect for beating good fighters? maybe it was total luck...

but right now, this is the best wya it could work out for him...

now november the 4th cue: "yeah be he hasn't fought in the US" hahahahahahahahahahahahah F*** it

---

Maybe we should have some sort of sticky 'Calzaghe amnesty thread' where everyone who thinks Kessler is the real deal now and will smash Joe can stick their names on it, there can be an agreement if they sign it that they are never allowed to call Joe a coward again, or call Kessler a bum if Joe wins.

don't need one - to many people have claimed this already, screw brining up old thread 6 months from now.

OK,
Reading the *Official* thread and some comments being made about the aftermaths of the fight.


Let's get one thing straight here....
Whoevers the dumb! fuck to come on here and start shit! and ride of Kess is just that a fwocken idiot.

Heres what I'm getting to.....
If Joe beats Kess regardless of how he does it, Joe will have earned the respect he has been claiming.
Whoever thinks otherwise is just a wanker and is here to start shit.
Not only that but if Joe embaresses Kess whoa!! he will def. catapult in all-time rankings and def. as one of the best fighters of our times.

I mean these are 2 fighters in their primes, undefeated, established Champs with decent records some questionable opponents. Some people say Kess has fought the more prominent names some people say Joes the one with the better quality of opposition. Whatever the case maybe they are fighting eachother and all that goes out the window come that night.
But you can't discredit their undefeated records either cause they also make for interesting talk. This is like Lloyd vs. Donald, 'Finito' vs. Alvarez as far as records or like Gonzalez vs. Carbajal, Naz vs. MAB, ODLH vs. SSM as far as fighters at their best at the time of the fight.


Also the same should apply for Kess if he defeats Joe. No excuses if Joe is the man at SMW and is defeated by Kess then Kess becomes the man at SMW.

So please Kess fans be gracious in victory and defeat don't come here just talking shit! Some of you guys give him a bad name with some of the stuff you guys post. I know those memmbers are no longer here :flush:
but to those who may come give credit to whoever wins. I know I will.

With an official date too?

Just a quick remark about the date - I quickly logged on to Saddo after seeing the news on the websites of Danish media. Here the date is mentioned as November 9th (ie. the following friday).

http://sporten.tv2.dk/article.php/id...1.html?forside

But as Warren's own website says November 3rd, it is probably just a slip up in the Danish reporting. Also, Palle is quoted in the article saying that the game is definetely on, but that they are still talking to various American tv-channels.

Anyway, this is amazing news. And even those who doesn't like Kessler (quite a few people) or Calzaghe (even more people) have to agree that early november is shaping up to be pretty bada** for boxing. See also http://www.boxrec.com/date_search.ph...07&mm=11&dd=10

Well said mate ;)
I'll go on record here as saying that Kesslers style will play right into Joes hand's and i fully expect Joe to win.
However...this is boxing and anything can happen and kessler IS the bigger/Stronger man so is always gonna have a great chance,If Kessler wins no one will hear any excuses from me and i'll salute him 100%.
I'm a fight fan first and foremost and admire any fighter who gives it 100%!
Kesser deserves respect for coming into the Lions den (he could easily lose this during the ring walk just like Lacy did) ;)
20,000 in Denmark will sound like a muffled fart compared to 45/50,000 hammered Brits ;)

Sure, but this fight now being "official" still doesn't discount Mick's original post: "I'll believe it when I see them in the ring." What was JC's last official, signed, sealed and (not) delivered megafight? Oh yeah, Glenn Johnson.

CC# 98 on me CFH for being smart enough to realize how many times this fights been official. :(

---

The fight was never official it was *they were close to making it happen* i don't recall it ever being official until now.

Nice post mic.. CC mate...

If kess wins i will give him massive respect... ( i have alot of respect for him as a boxer now)

win or losse tho i don't not believe Joe is at his peak,that has come and gone... Now don't get me wrong, in no way is this a pre excuse for joe lossing (coz i honestly dont see that happening)

but i do honestly believe his peak has gone.. with that said he is still without a doubt imo one of the best boxers in the world... and if kess wins he goes top 5 p4p...

It's gonna be deafening noise trust me and i still think Joe can get up to (or surpass a Lacy performance)
;D
One for the road style 8)

I'm siding with Kessler on this one, Joe should sweep the first 3-4 rounds pretty easily, but after that I see Kessler's durability and consistancy turning the tides.

This is gonna be a great fight though, prolly be close in no way do I see a shut-out.

but as for the topic of this thread.

FULL CREDIT AS UNDISPUTED # 1 SUPERMIDDLEWEIGHT TO THE WINNER.

IF Joe wins I'll definately give him his props.
IF Mikkel wins, I'll give him his props.

With either outcome, I would hope the winner faces Mundine........

nope and Palle confirmed on Danish TV aswell. Apart from that I was right all along that it would be in Wales and not Denmark :( .

Time to relax and get a beer before building up too the fight ;D

Winner to face Taylor after he has 1 warm up fight at super middle.
