Calzaghe: I'll destroy Kessler!

[Parody]

Calzaghe is under estimating Kessler IMO, If he thinks this fight will be like Lacy then good luck to him...

If this fight happens win/lose I will have the most respect for Calzaghe going to Denmark to fight a good opponent.

Kessler to Calzaghe: sign the contract, boy!!!

kessler is not technically or defensively that solid. people here over rate him so much after his win over andrade its ridiculous. im sure other fighters and trainers that visit these forums can see that kessler is a flawed fighter.
someone like calzaghe will expose him and beat him up quite badly. im happy that joe will be the 1st to do it.

I really dont get why people pretend Kesslers win over Andrade was a huge thing. Id never heard of Andrade before the Kessler fight. I wasn't impressed by him at all during the fight either.

[OptimusWolf]

That would be beyond my boxing knowledge honestly. When I watch Kessler I see a guy who has fast hands, a good jab, good power and good ring composure. I think his style will suit Joe, who will counter the jab all night long.....you'd think. But I believe Kessler will be so pumped that he'll make a fight out of it, and it should be a absolute cracker and a close decision either way.

If Joe can beat this boy, i dont want to hear talk of who has Joe beaten in his 21 defenses. Kessler is good. Very good.

No one is saying that that he isn't flawed. But anyone that isn't biased towards Cal would see that Kessler is a solid offensive fighter & techncially sound. He throws an educated/accurate jab & an accurate straight right. And it's not just the Andrade fight that has people saying that there buddy. It's his other fights with Mudine, Siaca, Beyer, & Lucas that he's shown he's a good fighter.

Thats the spirit Joe. But please dont belittle opponents if you want credit when you beat them. Say Kessler is a great fighter for your own benefit, even if you dont think that he is.

True, belittling an opponent doesn't work to one's advantage. I'm a bit surprised Joe said that.

I really like this match-up!! Finally two great fighters meeting and where you can have a scenerio where either fighter can win. This is what boxing should be and not the same of stuff we've been seeing like chicken hawk Taylor looking for another soft punching little guy to build his reputation on..

"Kessler fights without parades/defense, and I see nothing in him which worries me. I think that a fight with Kessler will be one off my easiest fights ever, and I hope that we can get it going.
He is a mediocre fighter. He is not particulary strong or techniqually good, and I am sure that I will KO him early in the fight. 2 - 3 rounds max!
I am going to destroy him, and I am ready to fight him in Copenhagen"

Nice translation.
