kessler will definatly land the straight right when calzaghe , misses with a straight left and falls in hands down, chin exposed.

it is a flaw in calzaghe , whats more calzaghe tends to bend down eye`s not seeing this punch coming , making it a harder more unexpected shot.

its possible calzaghe will be floored by this punch as kessler has the speed /timing and power to deliver this shot flush.

other than this/kessler has to control the ring center, as calzaghe will beat kessler IMO if kessler back up, kessler must get his jab into a rythem , landing or not to keep calzaghe from throwing so many combo`s, kessler must throw uppercuts to stop calzaghe getting the timing of his jab/cross and coming in and around them, and also to keep calzaghe from swarming in close.

left hook a big factor to stop calzaghe coming around the jab from his southpaw stance, kessler must get his lead left foot outside calzaghes lead right foot so he stays in balance and timing,from his orthodox stance.

although kessler`s best weapon is his jab, he must not plant his feet and go for great power in it , as his want but to double up on it and be lighter on his feet, this also will stop calzaghe getting inside.

must never play rope a dope with calzaghe, in this fight, tie him up on the inside and wait for the ref to break, as if calzaghe gets inside and makes it a phone box fight he negates kessler`s best arsenal which are long straight punches.

kessler must not blow his load early and must save energy for the later rounds as calzaghe can still throw a 100 punches a round in the last 3 to 4 rounds.

try to counterpunch the counterpuncher from range , dont reach with the punches/tie up when calzaghe gets inside ,let his punches flow at all times to counter clazaghe`s workrate, use light feet and move to his right as calzaghe likes to move and come in and around from kesslers left


BTW:It is not only my opinion,but many others,i read this on ESB and i have the same opinion,if Kessler can do this,he will win the fight
Interesting post . . .

About him ducking down . He has always had that posture . His stance is designed to almost curl up when a punch comes at him . He wraps his arms round the guy and once in the clinch he makes sure he gets his arms back on the inside so he can land his rabbit pucnhes . Then he is more than happy to box at range in and out with fast hands , sometimes slapping but sometimes setting up with bigger shots and when they come back at him he knows how to ( as you put it ) bend down . Its hard to nail Joe clean when he does that in this crouched position .

Eubank touched on it after his fight with Joe . His memory of the fight isnt what youd expect ie fast past , quick hands etc . He actually said Joe was very awkward to hit cuz he was never off balance and his posture prevented you from finding his chin . You can see what he means when you study Joe cuz he does it in every fight . He has a big frame and his chin is usually on his chest and he looks through his eyebrows like you are taught . Joes a very good fighter IMO
s to both...24 hours on yours jangeorg.

I still just can't imagine Joe gettin beaten & I truly believe that it will take someone like Hopkins to bully him around & hit him EVERYWHERE instead of trying to land flush & on point. Joe does throw constantly & from all angles.

I just don't see Kess being able to handle the rate.

Again...I have said it before...I'll say it again...if anyone is going to beat him...I'd want it to be Kessler.

He's good people.

CC back

Hopkins said he wants to fight Joe and Joe says he put 2k on Hopkins to beat Winky. Its a match thats gotta happen cuz they are clearly the top 2 guys around those weights . If it happend the winner would be the p4p best IMO . At the moment Hopkins is number 1 IMO but if Joe beat him he would have deserved the top spot .

Big ask for Hopkins cuz Joe wouldnt be outsized liek Winky , Tito and Oscar and Joe brings alot more than Tarver . At the same time Joe would have to be ready for a lot of tricks. Lets not get ahead of ourselves though cuz Keess may just throw a spanner in the works . He is a real threat
