Calzaghe vs Kessler

[zupg]

Calzaghe by split decision.

[BIG H]

Calzaghe masterclass - UD - and then all the Tards come out saying Kessler was a rookie who hadn't fought anybody!!

P.S - Anybody from US trying to suggest that the UK are guilty of Home Town decisions LMMFAO

Calzaghe is gonna give him a beating like he did to Lacy only Kessler will crumble. This won't go further than the 10th.
Joe proves once again that he's P4P the No.1

Calzaghe KO1

Yes thats goign to happen.

Calzaghe Ud.

I dont really care what you think. In fact, scratch the 'really' from that sentence.

CC#1 PugilistSpecial and Welcome aboard the Saddo Express.
CC's or are like points/cash thats given on other sites.

I know for a fact you are THE PugilistSpecial I know many Joe fans but I only know of 1 Joe fan whos hard core enough to post Joe KO in rd. 1 and that's you.
From what I know you are one of the most die hard Joe fans around.
Should be a great fight no doubt about it.
But make NO mistake, Kess will not get blasted out in 1.

It would appear my reputation precedes me....... And believe me, I truly believe Cal will KO Kessler in the first round. Kessler will be like a deer stuck in the headlights..

I have seen the Lacy, parts of Bika, Manfredo, and Eubank fight for Calzaghe.. and i'm curious as to if his chin has REALLY been tested.. If you look at the Eubank fight, the last few seconds he was doing one of his showy pit pat combos against Eubank while Eubank was on the ropes and Eubank through a punch straight to Calzaghe's head and i TRULY believe that if there were another 10-20 seconds of the fight it would've been very interesting to see if Calzaghe would've made it.. i know that he pretty much dominated the fight, but he took a hard shot and if i remember correctly, he just about fell and was leaning on Eubank tying him up while the bell sounded..
I ask because i think that if Kessler is smart and picks his shots early, maybe even goes to the body, then he'll be able to slow Joe down (i know its nearly impossible) enough to land some bombs to drop him.

His chin has been tested a few times. Against Robin Reid mainly, Joe hurt his hand early and took around a dozen overhand rights in the later rounds which landed clean as he couldn't block them, Reid was considered a puncher at the time as well, but Joe stood up to them. He was also floored by Mitchell with a huge punch, but recovered quickly. He's got a solid chin, not Hagleresque but solid enough as he doesn't get hit as often.

He has been down twice, but the Byron Mitchell fight he was up queer street for a few moments, if you get the clip you see when he gets up his body aint functioning correctly and he looks fucked, but he recovers very quickly and presses forward and forces the stoppage, maybe a little premature but he cames back well, the Salem fight in his other knockdown was just a horrible performance by Joe all night. But i think his style has shown overall he has a good chin a very good chin, he has been hit flush square on many times but has not gone down, but the older you get that sweet spot gets bigger imo, so who knows.

I hope Calzaghi does a Lacy type job on Kessler,the ref lets Kessler take a few punches, before jumping in to stop it,cos if that happens again, like the Manfredo fight, there will be even less than 2million watching on tv next time, i am hopeing to see a great fight, these to have contrasting styles and should make a fantastic fight, Calzaghi to win points
