Kessler: "He's Faster, I Hit Harder"

[EliteSoldier]

Calzaghe's and Kessler's offense is **** compared to Pavlik's.

Taylor almost ko'd pavlik. If Taylor had thrown an uppercut you wouldn't be on Pavlik right now. Pavlik only has power, Calzaghe and Kessler are faster then Taylor. And Taylors speed gave Pavlik problems.

Anyone who has even the remotest knowledge of Calzaghe's career knows he turned from a ****er into a boxer, primarily due to the fact his hands are now pretty ****.

Can he still ****? Of course he can. If history tells us anything it's that if Kessler manages to tag Calzaghe then he will come out swinging.

Good stuff. This should be intense!

Good stuff. This should be intense!

Yeah, it looks like quite war.

As much as I love Pavlik, his offensive skills are pretty average when compared to Joe Calzaghe, but still better than Mikkel Kesslers. I don't have anything against Kessler, he seems like a nice dude, but hes just way out of his league in this fight.

[MightyMikeA]

Kessler is a calm and cool customer in the ring. Andrade and Beyer are not Calzaghe, but they throw a lot of punches and Kessler's smooth and orthodox style allows him to stay in control. He will weather Calzaghe's flurries early on until he starts taking away Joe's motivation with some straight and stiff shots right down the middle. Kessler will not be throwing wide and clubbing shots like the over-muscled amateur Lacy. People forget that Kessler's shots, especially his jab and right hand are LIKE LASER GUIDED MISSILES. They are truly impressive and there is no way that Calzaghe can avoid these shots for 12 rounds, no way do I see it happening. Combine this fact with Joe's lack of one punch KO power and it spells a win for the basic, but steadfast Kessler.

Jabs are notoriously ineffective against southpaws. Add in the fact that Kessler lacks to footwork to come in from angles, and you have a recipe for disaster.

War Kessler!

[HISTORY]

Kessler and Calzaghe both destroy Pavlik in 12 rounds.

BULL****

An orthodox jab will often be used against a southpaw, in order to settle for other punches when the southpaw tries to get in. In other words it is usually displayed as bait, because the southpaw will fell safe to move when he has evaded the jab.
And
Kessler has EXCELLENT fundamentals:jab,straight right,left hook. Three weapons which are awesome v a southpaw,and allow Kessler to control JoeCalzaghe's speed. Kessler also has an excellent sense of distance and is able to control it. This could be vital
