I am so happy that this fight is finally here. I've been waiting for it for so long, it still seems a bit surreal to think it is actually only 10 days away.

Thanks for the analysis, it's pretty much how I see it (although I have to say I'm rooting for Joe all the way. I like Kessler but I've watched all of Joe's fights and I feel he has much more to lose)

I've picked Joe by decision. I think the hometown advantage just might come in to play and all those people booing Kessler might have some slight mental effect on the Dane.

Even if it doesn't I see Joe outworking Mikkel. Whenever Joe gets hit with a shot that hurts him he'll get angry and punch back in bunches. Add to that the fact that he'll be throwing them in bunches anyway and I just cant see the judges favouring Mikkels shots.

I don't think either man will KO the other, i think it'll end up a Calzaghe win by 2- 3 rounds.

At least I hope!

I actually feel kinda nervous about this fight. I think its all the hype!

Anyway I'd cc the other posters for good points but, being a part time poster, I'll have to do it when I hit that fabled 100 posts.
