I think he could have learned a lot bu fighting Joe. Kessler was not hurt badly and he was competitive, so he shouldnt be demoralised.

Re: Will kesslers Loss To Calzaghe Make Him A Better Fighter Or Not?
I think it will. Kess seems like a smart fighter, and I'd imagine they will watch lots of tape and work on the things Kess didn't do well against Calzaghe. If he gets down about it and doesn't learn from his mistakes, he could be in for some real tough fights: Miranda, Taylor when he moves up, maybe Pavlik. They'll be tough fights anyways, but could be costly if he gets jaded about his 1 loss and loses focus. Time will tell.

Re: Will kesslers Loss To Calzaghe Make Him A Better Fighter Or Not?
Yes. He'll have learnt a lot from it and he's already good enough to rule 12 stones for as long as he wants to. He's going to be in some outstanding fights over the next couple of years.

Re: Will kesslers Loss To Calzaghe Make Him A Better Fighter Or Not?
Well I don't think it will have a positive effect. A loss is never a good thing.
But Kessler should be able to bounce back. He didn't take a bad beating, he wasn't badly hurt, and he showed a ton of heart and skills.
If Calzaghe were to move up to 175 to fight Hopkins, I have no doubt that Kessler could become the new 168 pound king is Joe's absence.

One thing's for sure, he's going to remember that he has to learn how to cut the Ring off a bite more with a mover like Joe but I think Mr. Kessler will surprise everyone and come back new and improved.

Re: Will kesslers Loss To Calzaghe Make Him A Better Fighter Or Not?
Regardless of the judging i would say Kessler lost this fight by the slimmest of margins against a great like calzaghe. He landed the harder shots throughout and if he could have handled the pace, he would have beat calzaghe. It was very close in my opinion.

Kessler is currently in his prime. He's a very good fighter. But I think he's as good as he's going to get.

In his interview after the fight, you could tell he rued a missed oppertunity because he didn't perform at his absolute best (this is because Joe didn't let him). Kessler will have learned a lesson. He'll fight Mundine next and become a world champion again.

The only thing he needs is more of a killer instinct. Or maybe not to be so calculated when he has his man hurt.

Agreed, I feel it may change his mentality and perhaps his approach, but technically and physically he's the finished proiduct.
However, the finished product is a good one and he will be a champion again.

Re: Will kesslers Loss To Calzaghe Make Him A Better Fighter Or Not?
for me personally, im leaning towards kessler learning a great deal from this fight..
but what i really would prefer, was for him to get a new trainer..
i saw an interview with his trainer before the fight, where he said they wouldnt do anything different tactics wise because what kessler had done, proved it was the right thing.. that statement was so unintelligent, i could cry..
i would like for kessler to get under mayweather or steward, steward great at coaching fighters with the exact style like kessler, he was the one who made lewis a much better inside fighter, which kessler lacks by a mile.. mayweather because he is a master at teaching upper body movement, which he also lacks..

Re: Will kesslers Loss To Calzaghe Make Him A Better Fighter Or Not?
Kessler has the style to beat everyone at 168 except Calzaghe. There is really not much to learn
here that he can apply towards anyone else in the division style wise. The loss could have the effect
of making him more hungry which could be good. I want to see him take an easy fight and then
get in there with Bute.

Kessler's good. Even very good. But I wouldn't call him great

Re: Will kesslers Loss To Calzaghe Make Him A Better Fighter Or Not?
A loss can always benifit a fighter if he learns from it..

Re: Will kesslers Loss To Calzaghe Make Him A Better Fighter Or Not?
Well put MAR couldn't have said it better myself.

Re: Will kesslers Loss To Calzaghe Make Him A Better Fighter Or Not?
Only a true champion at heart can recover from a loss and come back better.

Very well stated...I totally agree. There's no one in there anymore that Kess can't handle now that Joe's gone.
