Since most opponents of recent that lost to Calzaghe have called him a slapper..

[Shanus]

Don't you think Kessler should knock it in the head, seeing as Calzaghe has been viciously making the fights one sided?

I'm not one for superstition, but a point comes along where an eyebrow has to be raised, am I right?

Calzaghe UD.

[Bonafide]

Calzaghe to slick for Kessler.
The slick southpaw is at the top of his game.
As strong and powerful as Kessler is I cant see him winning this fight.

Dont bet too much real money on it

The guys that say the slapping biz the most are the fighters that have fought him ,,, Bika went the distance and says Joe dont hit hard at all , and Sakio is a quite man that dont make bull**** statements , he has sparred Kessler and thinks Kessler will dominate Joe with accuracy and that kessler punched harder in the spar than Joe did over 12 rnds , these are the things I take notice of , not blinded fans that dont want to admit that Joe does slap his punches at times , mate if Sakio Bika can go the distance and never be in trouble Kessler is going to go well in this fight believe me !

Kessler stop Calslappy in the 10th round.

[-Antonio-]

Well technically he does actually slap.

Slaps pretty damn hard though.

[Jimmy The Gent]

I'm glad alot of people are backing Kessler to beat Joe, thats just means when joe beats kessler half the board will have to backtrack their comments and claim kessler was a bum who fought nobodies

[EliteSoldier]

Calzaghe has fought better opposition.

[RodBarker]

Which retire'ee or proped fighter was that ? show me the in thier primes ? many of Joes were just old name fighters on the way out and he has been around a lot longer , by the time Kessler make 34yrs old his resume will make Joes look like nothing , out of the last 5 fights for each Kessler has fought better guys and is already a dual title holder about to unify the division , how old is he 27 , wake up boys and girls

Calzaghe UD.

I agree. When I heard that I thought it may be time for a new gimmick.

[shawn_]

I agree, most of the people picking Kessler are doing so because they dont like Calzaghe. Nobody has taken the time to actually watch Kessler, and look at him stylistically.

People take what people have said about him at face value, without first watching him for themselves.

Kessler has some MAJOR flaws.

First and Foremost, he not only drops his right hand when he throws his jab, he pulls it back and exposes his liver.

Second, Kessler pulls strait back from punches, and has poor upper body movement. He is a typical european style fighter. Stands strait up like a robot.

Third, Kessler telegraphs his right hands by leaning to his left.

Fourth, Kessler lunges in when he throws his right hand, leaving himself wide open to uppercuts.

Fifth, Kessler cannot match handspeed with Calzaghe.



I predict Calzaghe will slap Kessler to death with left hand leads, and right hooks over Kesslers jab. Calzaghe will beat Kessler to the punch all night.
