Truly...I can't begin to understand or relate to anyone that despises either one of these men. They're both good for boxing & while I say that I am an equal fan of both...I'd have to justly call myself a liar at the same time.

I say I want a draw...I say that I could handle Joe losing to Kess because he's good people & a rightful suitor for the throne...but...I want Joe to retain his title & remain undefeated & then ride off into the sunset.

I hope Joe wins...I want Joe to win...move up & let Kessler continue as the top man. He could tear through Mundine & whoever else they put in front of him & rule 168lbs while Joe goes to 175
I'm so excited for this fight.

I know what you mean, Kess seems such a genuine guy, and against anyone elsy I'd want him to win. I think it's just that with his age he has plenty of time to recover from a defeat, that's why I'm pulling for Joe.

Cause if he decides to trade with Kess it's good night Joe.
I dissagree, I think Joe's best bet is to fight inside, it's what he does best, and he'll be too close for Kess' best punch the straight right, Joe needs to smother him without going berserk. The closest Joe has come to fucking it all up is against Mitchell IMO, when he abandoned all technique and allowed the guy's short powerful hooks to land, against Lacy he showed a little bit more ring smarts by twisting him round, but he was still fighting on the inside.

Kessler's best bet IMO is to keep Calzaghe on the outside, which he might be able to do with his accurate straight punches, which is why I want Joe to get to him early and relentless, to get Kess to doubt his own game plan.

Anyway, did I mention I'm really looking forward to this fight?
