Nice vid mate ;)
Cool video man, it's crazy how much his hand speed and accuracy has improved over the years.
That was very good mate,Cheers. 8)
Thats me bwoy! Kess. 8)
I always knew he'd be a champ one day.
Also how flat footed he used to fight.Quote:

Remember the name , by fort minor.
Kessler has improved alot in the last couple of years, lets his shots flow, gets up on his toes and just moves with more snap. Joe will have to be at the top of his game to beat him, but I think kessler is just to conventional and joe will expliot this.
wewt 1st post!
What Ive seen of him Joe will have a feild day very 1 dimensional everythings in straight lines
Very nice video, and it shows why his fans really like him when there's that entertainment on offer. Not many come forward fighters there except Andrade in the film though....so I'm with Scrap on a clsh between him and calzaghe.
I'm in the Calzaghe does a number on him camp too. I don't get what's so special about this guy. He looks solid but pretty slow especially compared with Calzaghe...Nice little vid. ;)
JC would acctually beat Kessler. lets hope it can happen.
What I've thought all along Scrappy. VD seems impressed though...Quote:

he lacks the special something to beat Joe.
Kesslers Mum is apparently from Salisbury so he is planning on getting the English on his side.

He will probably end up fighting Mundine again before calzaghe. :-[
Thats that sorted thenQuote:

Kessler really knows how to pick a shot doesn't he, right on the tip of the chin. Appears to be goodnight everytime with that punch so Calzaghe will have to watch that. He's also massive for a super middleweight so Calzaghe wont be able to bully him the way he does most of his opponents. If Calzaghe stays on his toes and doesn't get clumsy by absorbing one of those straight rights I'm confident he'll win comfortably on points.
I also noticed that all of his opponents there were lumbering forward with little defense, head movement or footwork. Kessler wont get that luxury with Calzaghe! Still a 50/50 when you bring everything into consideration though.
I really can't wait.
the simple fact is about 85% of the shots in the highlight video would not land on joe, kessler would miss and pay. He hasnt faced an offence like joe will bring either, mundine being the only one to come close. Joe will bob his way in and out whilst landing flurrys, as he does, and win an MD. Kessler can win if hes to strong for joe, but lacy tried that.....didnt really work.Quote:

I agree with the rest , he is too 1D for Calzaghe, but lets see if he has something new come fight night (if fight night comes) because he is so big and powerful i don't want to write him off yet.
any one noticed how skinny his legs are?
I thought that was a thing with all boxers, they all do the work to build up their torso.Quote:

It's not a hand speed contest. The object to beat the opponent hows he gonna beat Kess by caressing him?
It's a known fact Joe has issues with his hand.
Kesslers not the fastest, well then go and watch the Andrade fight to me the combos he threw were with good speed.
He threw in different angles and mixed it up.
It's easy to look good against people like Andrade, who look like they're wearing concrete boots compared to Calzaghe. Lacy found that out when he couldn't get close enough to Calzaghe to throw combinations, like the guys at Showtime explained on the broadcast of the fight. You can watch it free here along with a bunch of other fights.Quote:

Calzaghe isn't going to be plodding in at Kessler in straight lines, has footwork and handspped in a different league to Kessler. Kessler has the same chance lacy had, which is to land a big punch. Watch how well that went for him.
it's normally were people lose it from when they drain themselves so they can bully people naturally much smaller than them... :)Quote:

Mick, the slapping shit is boring now ;)
1st and foremost heres :coolclick: #4 on me and Welcome aboard the Saddo Express. Hope you enjoy your stay here and remember keep your punches up. ;D
Well then the same thing can be said for Veit, Ashira, Bika and Manfredo, and let's be honest here did he REALLY look good against Ashira, Bika and Manfredo. I mean really? Were people clamoring him for his brilliant performances in those fights? Nope. Peopl like to see the Joe they saw when he got dropped by Salem and fought thru it to win, the Joe they saw against Mger, the Joe who put on a phenomenal performance agains Lacy.Quote:

No need to watch the fight again I just saw it again about 2 weeks ago I have the fight. Kess is not an inside fighter theres no need for him to try and get inside. If anything I think Joe should come inside and try to push Kess around.Quote:

I agree on the hand speed, footwork well I mean he moves well side to side but to be honest here is this gonna be a fight or a running competion? I mean whats the point in all of us wanting them to fight and discussing this fight for about a year now if now suddenly we wan't our fighter to use his footwork and jump on his bike???Quote:

For starters (I wont go much into detail cause I can be here all day) Lacy didn't even throw combos or a fwocken jab back then. He was right handed bomb thrower who stalked and stalked until he lande his bomb.
Kess is not like that again the issue I see for Kess here is letting Joe get off 1st which would make it that Joe was/is briging the fight to Kess.
I'll be the 1st to tell you that Joes footwork and hand speed is better then Kess. At the same time I'll be the 1st to tell you Kess can put punches together has a very goo strong jab that at times looks like a straight left punch cause it pushes the opponents back and snaps their head.
Look all in all right now I hate both guys for not having the balls to just stand up and just make the fight. They are both acting like Pre-Madonnas and not boxers.
Well Fens thats what he does...Quote:

He's alright, but thats where it should be left.
As it goes, yeah, commenting on his barnet is more interesting than pointing out he has a slappy punching technique. It's not gonna change now, is it, and it's not stopped him winning over 170 fights ;)Quote:

I know...all those pesky IBF champions that just stand there and get "slapped" for 36 minutes are such a drag....and I doubt that the WBC champion will have much better luck, as he'll get slapped to submission too. Maybe we ought to but him in with a heavyweight...or a cruiser with a baseball bat, and he might really hit them.Quote:

;D cheeky k*nt...Quote:

Kessler will be exposed and Joe's gonna ruin him ;D
