Mikkel Kessler vs Andre Ward:Who will wins?

[HattonTheHammer]

ward starts off strong early on and maybe wins the opening 3/4round exchanges.

But by 5 kessler will be in his stride and picking off ward at will and by 8/9 ward would of run out of ideas and it`ll all be about whether kessler wants to stop him and whether ward has it in him to take a 12round beating!

Reckon wards corner may just get him out of there around 10/11

I can see Kessler starting strong and ending strong; might not stop him but I can see a 118-112 here.

Ward has the potential to win rounds against Kessler and it is in Ward's hometown. With the Dirrell/Froch fight, it may be too early in his career for Ward to fight Kessler. Right now and it may change as it gets closer to the fight, I say Kessler by split decision.

[JazMerkin]

I think Kessler in 4. Not because Ward will get blown away, but I think Kessler will come out fast & try to surprise him & Ward will get caught with a few & will be stopped pretty early. I've no idea why I think this, I've just decided I will. Anyone know when the next round of fights is after this?

[Fenster]

Kessler will get disgracefully robbed.

There is NO CHANCE the No.1 European is getting the decision in the American's backyard after the humiliation of Team USA in the first two fights.

Even if Kessler KO's Ward they'll DQ him. Fact.

[OumaFan]

That would only be fair and I'm in favor of it.

Im quite sure that in this day and age the judges on show will be unbyest and will score the fight fairly.....




*****ducks for cover*****

[Fenster]

I'm just telling it like it is. The Truth.

This shebang is run by whom? SHOWTIME!!! They're American, right? Do you think they would've started a USA-vs-Europe contest if they thought America was gonna get totally humiliated?

Poor Taylor couldn't even finish the comp. Dirrell stunk the joint out moaning and whinging like a baby. Shocking stuff for Team USA. 3-0 down Showtime will pull the plug.

All Ward has to do is stay upright to win. I've heard they've been speaking to Hopkins about helping Ward to perfect some acting moves in case the DQ becomes a necessity.

Fenster, that is ridiculous. Dirrell and Froch was a very close fight that many people had going against the European, and the European won.

Kessler is also the favorite and a great ambassador of the sport regardless of his ethnic breakdown. He could be a crossover star. An american bias wouldn't prevent Kessler from winning it all. Now, if Froch was fighting in Oakland after the Dirrell fight, we can talk. Not that I agree, but we can talk.

One of Showtime's major selling points is USA vs Europe. The American's need help to get a point on the board.

I truly wish boxing wasn't a corrupt, vile sport where no man can ever lose without a plethora of excuses, but that's just the way it is.

I can see the "Kessler was robbed" threads a mile off.

Revenge robbery - like Ouma said.
