    Yeah.I think Ward looked improved greatly in with Miranda.Miranda showed alot of doubt in there and I think Ward might have possibly pressed harder for a stoppage,he would have gotten it.Went to another level that night did Ward...but am still leaning towards a Kessler win.Ward at some point will have to stand in,keep Kess off and I am just not convinced he can do that in conjuction with needed mobility.Very well the best fight of the super six.

    This is going to be the best fight of the Super six.

    Imo the two best boxers in the bunch, and i really hope Kessler can take the pressure the Oakland crowd will provide, and bring the victory to glorious Denmark.

    But this is not a sure thing, as someone says. Ward is as said before also a favorite, and is likely to win on points over Kessler. I don't believe Kessler is going down.

    I think the fight will be with Ward as the agressor the first 4-5 rounds hoping to land some good punches, that will make Kessler a bit shaky. After that Kessler is going to take control of the fight, and be the wise boxer landing heavy hits to the chin which maybe will send Ward to the ground.

    on points it will be a close call. i will said 50/50

    on KO Kessler has the advantages, 70/30 to Kessler.

    when did kessler become this masterful counterpuncher? it's sloppy and basic. he ain't gonna be throwing cutie shots.

    i like ward to take a UD over the rusty kessler.

    Ward has several problems in this fight. Number one on the list is his lack of power; he landed flush on Miranda all night, but Miranda finished on his feet. What happened when the top two middleweights landed flush on Miranda? That lack of power is a serious issue.

    Ward did a good job of controling the distance against Miranda, but Miranda has no jab, and not much footwork. Kessler has one of the best jabs in the business. And, the strategic clinching Ward used against Miranda gets him countered and beat up against Kessler.

    Ward has yet to face an opponent with a world class jab, or a really good 1-2, so he has not had to pay for his habit of holding a low guard. Kessler will make him pay.

    Ward is a talented kid, but his lack of world class experience will probably show up early and often. Kessler by KO
    Super Middleweight also acknowledge as Kessler's Kingdom when Calzaghe has retire

    Being a good counterpuncher is a lot more than sloppy and basic plus Kessler is far from being the unidimensional fighter you seem to suggest here, the guy has thunder power, an excellent jab quick combines and very good footwork. Oakland is in for the hell of an upset.

    The Two best boxers of the tournament?? I would rate Abraham before Ward, personally.

    Good post, but I wouldn't say Mundine is superior to Ward in any way.

    I don't know how you can say that Calzaghe beat Kessler because he beat him in a jabbing battle on the outside but yet ignore that the jab is one of Wards best weapons that he can throw from orthodox or southpaw.
    I know Ward can switch between orthodox and southpaw,but Ward is not quite good as southpaw, so why does he do it against Kessler? He may confuse opponents at a lower level, but not Kessler
