[thewhale]

Calzaghe have the home advantage "again but I think Kessler will take him out. Late TKO and good night too Calzaghe


At least that is my fair believe no arguments about me being a Kessler fan

I wouldn't doubt that at all

Personally I reckon Kessler will tire down the stretch as Calzaghe's movement bamboozles him and leaves him punching air for 30 minutes, and Calzaghe will pounce on him in the 10th like a fat yank on a cheese steak, and swamp him like he did the other great super middleweight of our era.... (Manfredo Jr )

Very very close fight that should go 115-113 either way or 114-114. . . . but instead goes to Calzaghe 118-111 across the board.

Unless Calzaghe breaks his hand(s) again (not unlikely), in which case Kessler by TKO within 4-5 rounds of that happening.

I have seen the Lacy, parts of Bika, Manfredo, and Eubank fight for Calzaghe.. and i'm curious as to if his chin has REALLY been tested.. If you look at the Eubank fight, the last few seconds he was doing one of his showy pit pat combos against Eubank while Eubank was on the ropes and Eubank through a punch straight to Calzaghe's head and i TRULY believe that if there were another 10-20 seconds of the fight it would've been very interesting to see if Calzaghe would've made it.. i know that he pretty much dominated the fight, but he took a hard shot and if i remember correctly, he just about fell and was leaning on Eubank tying him up while the bell sounded..
I ask because i think that if Kessler is smart and picks his shots early, maybe even goes to the body, then he'll be able to slow Joe down (i know its nearly impossible) enough to land some bombs to drop him.

I just hope it's a barn burner.

First 3-4 rounds will be interesting but I see Joe landing lots of punches in the latter part of the fight. Kessler is good but it won't be hard for Joe to figure him out and find the openings. UD JC

I want Kessler to win but to be honest ive never seen him fight live , but on his highlights ive seen he looks pretty sharp , however Calzaghe loath him like i do has found a way to win in the past so hey i guess for once its Joe v A GUY WITH A PULSE FOR ONCE

Kessler: good power in both hands... fast, hard combos... very crisp, accurate, staight punches.... took some pretty good shots from andrade (who has decent power) and walked right through them.. avg. defence.. will get hit alot against Calzaghe

IF Calzaghe beats kessler like he did against Lacy.. He is everything his biggest fans say that he is....

Calzaghe i think is the favorite in this fight because of more big fight experience alone.... i think Calzaghe is a complete fighter, excellent footwork, great fast combos, has the stlye where he could KO or beat you in 12.... but so can kessler for that matter...

the two adavntages for both would be Calzaghe's speed and Kessler's power.....

and i think the unseen advantage for kessler will be his chin... when kessler gets hurt i think he will handle himself good... calzaghe will be hit harder in this fight than he ever has in his career...

the fight could turn into a miranda-pavlik if kessler starts punishing calzaghe and makes his eyes bleed and hurts his ribs this might be a brutal KO with with the start of a long reign of kessler...

that being said i think calzaghe by ud
or kessler by 9-10 KO .....either om wouldnt surpise me at all

i hope there is a rematch and that this is a real good fight... or the winner vs. taylor-pavlik.... winky-hopkins will play into this too..

I know for a fact you are THE PugilistSpecial I know many Joe fans but I only know of 1 Joe fan whos hard core enough to post Joe KO in rd. 1 and that's you.
From what I know you are one of the most die hard Joe fans around.
Should be a great fight no doubt about it.
But make NO mistake, Kess will not get blasted out in 1.
