So it will either be a KO/TKO for Kessler, or a UD/SD possibly controversial for JC.. i don\'t see Calzaghe dreaming of knocking Kessler out unless he gets a controversial TKO by premature stoppage like the Manfredo fight.. After watching the Manfredo fight, if i was Kessler i\'d make sure i was able to take a ref with me, or at least someone whos not from Joe\'s home grounds.
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.
