Definitely - Kessler won a lot of friends here in Australia for how he handled himself in beating Mundine. The guy has balls of steel - to fight Mundine in Australia and to fight Calzaghe in Wales shows how tough he is.

Thought he fought very well tonight against what is the best super middleweight of all time - he certainly was not disgraced. Joe's speed shone through in the end, but Kessler was still good enough to catch Joe with some great shots.

Great fight, fitting result and respect to both guys tonight.
