Calzaghe Kessler Draw????

They should be favoring Calzaghe, he took on the better opponents. If they're favoring Kessler because of his age and power, then the bookies are dumb as ****. Experience with being in with better competition should favor a Calzaghe victory.

Yeah there's a strong chance it could end up a draw. Maybe I should take advantage of this and make a small wager.

I hope it's not a draw though, I'm gonna be one nervous bastard come Nov 3rd(I'll be rooting for Joe, and I'll be saying my prayers to the universe). I don't want to have to go through it again six months more down the road for a rematch.

It's just rare to have draws in boxing is the thing. The odds are right on. Look at Ouma / Mora with almost even odds to win for both of them, and the draw is +1500.

Then lets just hope Calzaghe can remember how to fight "the better competition".. There's a few years in between.

IMO a draw is unlikely, as one will get control sooner or later.

Calzaghe and Kessler are both good boxers but I have a feeling that this is going to be a one-sided match. And I'm not saying one sided victory for Calzaghe, it could be Kessler. I'm not biased like some people. I want Calzaghe to win but to be honest, I think they're both good enough that one of them will dominate. I do not see a draw in this fight. Though Calzaghe was jokingly saying Kessler is like Lacy, I hope he hasn't let his fame get to his head. But I'm pretty sure he hasn't... I didn't like his last performance against Manfredo, yes he hit and hurt Manfredo but Manfredo blocked a **** load of his punches. And Manfredo is a ****ty boxer compared to the people Calzaghe has fought in the past.

yeah to be fair with that fight it got stopped far too early to make any conclusions about each fighter in that fight.

that was an absolute joke getting stopped when it did, Manfredo was fine, and protecting himself.
