Some of these posts make it sound as though Kessler got destroyed.. He fought a very good fight having never faced anyone of Joe's calibre beforehand. He is clearly the best fighting at SMW assuming Calzaghe will not return to fight there. And even if Joe does drop back down, I think a rematch would be an excellent fight just like the first.. Why on earth should his confidence be shaken, he came on very strong in the 12th and took that round in a big way.. Nothing to be even slightly ashamed of. I also don't get this notion that he must not have dealt with the loss well, since when is being confident after a close defeat a sign of a fighter who is weak mentally? You've got to believe your the best in order to even get close. I'm very much looking forward to his next fight. I don't think there's anyone at 168 now that he wouldn't beat.
