Extremely impressed with both fighters. Speaking of styles. JC's strength is his stamina. When Kessler was moving forward he was winning. The thing was that JC kept up such a fast pace that Kessler couldn't keep backing him up. Just great fitness level. As far as the matchup it was pretty even. JC just outworked him and set that blazing pace that Kessler couldn't consistently overcome. Occasionally he would turn it up and get ahead in the round, then he would get tired and JC would overtake him with his steady work rate.

Both guys had a great performance, just Joe's was better. I like BHop but I don't think he's active enough to beat JC right now. In the JT fights Bhop was throwing like 10punches a round. Don't see Joe beating him up and landing alot of clean punches, but he will win the decision on activity alone unless Bhop drastically changes his fight plan.

Great year for boxing and a great night with class act performances and nothing negative about either guy.
