In a recent interview with The Mirror, WBC/WBA super middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler (39-0, 29KOs) said that he was not impressed with the skills of WBO champ Joe Calzaghe (43-0, 32KOs). They collide on Nov. 3 at the Millennium Stadium in Wales.
He gave Calzaghe credit for being a good fighter, but said that his Welsh opponent was not a technician. He views Calzaghe as more of a feather-fisted brawler.
"Obviously he's a good fighter, but he's more of a brawler than a real technical fighter," said Kessler. "I don't think he punches hard, he just punches a lot. He's a very awkward fighter and wins by ruining others' styles. But he can't ruin my style. The main thing is to hit Joe and not get hit back - and I'm good at not getting hit. I'll win as I hit a bit straighter, a bit harder and with greater focus."
