Andre Ward and Kessler fights..

[Mar]

Both of these fights were pretty much a waste of electricity..........if dude would have blinked too long they would've stopped that fight in Denmark. And ward pretty much got tired of hitting his so called opponet. (if kessler did that in his fight that red would've stopped it at the weigh in). I say ward beats kessler myself.

Oooooh, ring card girls.

Ya, that was a quality ring card girl before Round 2.

Hmm, the only thing of Wards that will trouble Kessler will be him being natural left handed, Calzaghe gave him fits and he looked a little awkward throwing his right last night as well but Ward doesnt have a big punch, the guy he fought last night was dropped 3 times and knocked out in the first round by John Duddy At middle and Ward through everything he could to try and get him out

[SEB]

I'm sure Ward will try to out-speed Kessler and will probably suceed to do it in the first rounds, but only to find himself tagged later on. Kessler has the kind of power than ward never faced on...it will turn to a 5th round ko for Kessler.

Abraham on the other hand will have a real tough night against Taylor...

Yeah, I think Abraham might struggle with the extra weight, at least Taylor has carried that weight for a few fights now and has some power up at this weight but then, Abraham will be able to work all night whereas Taylor has never been able to do that

[Wacko3205]

Both had pretty decent outtings considering the layoffs & their opponents practically screamed tune-uppers.


I was impressed with both...honestly though...Ward's gonna have to take it a bit slower with Kessler. Kess's got a damned sturdy chin & a piston punch jab.


Can't wait for this tourney to get crankin!

Totally agree with that...but I still thing that Abraham will persevere.

Taylor's a total disappointment.

No shit...everytime I see an interview or a media excerpt from him...I just have to pass it buy. He'll never NEVER be able to carry the weight for 12 like he should.

I'd love to see Abraham blast him out...& honestly I think that it's gonna be one of Taylor's tuffest bouts...unless your'e dead on the money & Arthur can't pull the weight.

We'll see...in the end I think we'll be looking at a top bill of Kessler & Abraham.

Holy fucking shit. Welcome back! You just get paroled or something?

[Kirkland Laing]

Isn't Abraham busting a gut to make 160? I'm sure I read he was going to have to go to 168 in 2010 as it was impossible for him to make 160 anymore.

"great victory" come on Andre

Obviously Pudwill's offense wasn't too much of a concern so that fight wasn't a good barometer, but Ward would need to be a lot more elusive than I think we've seen him to avoid the hard, accurate punches of a hopefully rustless Kessler psyched up for the big stage. I'm not saying he can't, but he'll need to be a 168 lb Willie Pep to avoid getting KTFO, IMO. If he can limit his diet to a forkfull of jabs per round and keep turning Kessler, he'll have a chance to win some rounds. However, twelve is a lot of rounds to keep up that kind of movement...and while Andre has been that deep before it's never been with someone as well-conditioned - or heavy handed.. (and please nobody say Miranda) as Kessler

Make a path...make a path.THE man has returned ! Monestary life growing old? See the same with Taylor.I think he's one brutal KO away from hanging em up for good.

[SEB]

Well it's always kinda sad to think a guy with Taylor's skills need to hang them up, but true, should he be losing this one, he should consider what he wants to do. I had high hope and expectations for him till Pavlik and Froch fights. but still the guy has skills !!

I would never ever believe that he won't work on his stamina level (Taylor) after what he went through the Froch experience. this guy should be running like never.

Now, Abraham is a strong person, he really can punch hard and has good stamina. He can also box, it's going to be a "win or die" situation for both, definitely watch this one !!

Hey, Wacko, really happy to see you back here. Guess you're still on Boxing :-)

The words "Abraham" and "work all night" do not belong in the same sentence. However, I'm hoping the move up in weight will result in an increase in his activity in the ring.
