The reason joe dont sit down on his punches anymore is due to the consistent hand problems and the fact that he cannot risk hurting them anymore as his next hand injury could be his last. This may work against him in the Kessler fight as Kessler will probably fight at a slower pace than calzaghe would desire and make it hard for joe to counter. A solution to this problem would obviously be for joe to load his punches and force Kessler to retreat, but can he do that? The Lacy Fight suggests he still can, but fights against Ashira and Manfredo testify to the contrary.

I want Joe to win, but itl be a mystery until fight night i think
