        the only knock you could put on kessler was he didnt work the body enough and didnt ko an opponent who he seemed to hit at will. But other than that he put on a near perfect performance against an opponent who seemed pretty good; good combination punching, very good footwork and an ability to keep andrade at punching distance, he showed a very good defense, ability to move when he needed to and it was pretty obvious those weren't fether fidted shots he was tagging Andrade with, Andrade displayed an iron will just finishing that fight. Kessler also demonstrated pretty good stamina keeping a consistent attack up all 12 rounds. what limitations did you see?

          I don't see a very good fighter at all, but I'm willing to accept I could be wrong. My guess is Calzaghe will stop him in 6rnds, or at least whip him on points. I'm willing to bet anyone that Calzaghe will win, are there any takers or maybe no one else thinks Kessler can win either

            The problem is assuming Andrade is any good. He isn't. He wasn't.

            Kessler will need to show an awful lot more than he's shown in his previous showings to trouble Calzaghe. The Danes seem to think there's something more there but I haven't seen it.

                He never varied his attack, even though Andrade was open to uppercuts and right there for him to hook of his right hand. It's just that Kessler throws the same 'jab-right' over and over. He's not gonna hit Calzaghe with that. That's why I called him a 'two-punch' fighter.

                  Kessler is a good fighter and it's going to be a very competitive fight, I'm predicting a close ud for calzaghe. BTW I think his hands will hold up in this fight for some reason, maybe I should leave of the puff!!

                    Calzaghe has little defense, while he throws, and he does that alot; its easy to land on him.

                    Kessler is a great counter-puncher and JC will be stopped in his tracks.

                      A reference to Manfredo? Yeah, that was bad. How that got so hyped up and enough to fill Cardiff amazes me.
