Predictions
Calzaghe over Kessler on the cards in a suprisingly easy bout. Kessler's going to show the world that he cant fight going backwards and he cant counterpunch.
Hey - Azteca noticed your predictions here - damn i find that a bold one. Allow me to say these are two areas where ppl will be very much surpriced the other way around.
Kessler is an EXCELLENT counterpuncher - who just rarely gets a chance to show it, because most of his opponents give up on bringing the fight to him all too soon. But he will revell in the opportunity against Joe.
And as for not being able to fight, moving backwards. Another area where we have little to go by - but where ppl tend to interpret it all wrong. First of all - Andrade fight clearly showed he's not devoid of ability to do so.
Second - Kessler's habbit of jumping back in a styraight line in many fights is interpreted as showing poor ability to fight going backwards - What it really shows is his excellent ability to controll distance and with great footwork put him in a possition where HE choses the manor of fighting, where he got the distance he likes, where he's ready and waiting for the opponent to walk into his counters that you underrate so much.
Kessler's defence is BASED on controlling the distance like that.
It may be that Calzaghe proves to be good enough to throw him off balance and take that advantage away from him (i doubt it). But as an analasys of what Kessler is good at and what not, i think you got it all wrong.
All the more credit to you if you hit it nail on the head.
I am looking forward to this fight. I got a feeling I will be moderately excited at first, but as the quality of the fight surprises me, I will get more into it from the starting bell. I got a feeling this fight will be a damned good fight, and it's very significant as well.
As the fight gets nearer, starting to get a little more excited than before, i still think Calzaghe will win easy and everyone will be wondering why the **** they all got so hyped in the first place.
If Kessler wins, Calzaghe aint nothin to write about anymore, simple as that.
