Knew that I shouldnt have been nervous. Joe has never given me any real reason to fear before. I wish that he wouldnt let his chin hang out so much. He could've technically boxed Kessler to a shutout there probably, but I guess that his quirks are what makes him the fighter that he is.
He took some ****ing heavy shots though from a Kessler that had more about him than I thought that he did. Anyone who doubts Calzaghe's heart and chin just dont know anything, he barely took a step back all fight.
Major respect for Kessler though, he is a complete warrior. He's as solid as a ****ing rock too and the interview that he gave after the fight was lovely. A very down to earth and realistic guy who will blatantly learn from the defeat and use it to dominate that division.
One of my favourite moments of the fight was when the final bell rung, a nice display of sportsmanship from both men and as Kessler walked away to his corner and instead of trying some typical American kidology of raising his hands and trying to influence the judges, he simply nodded to his corner in acceptance that he had been defeated by the better man. Thats how the fight was the full way, honest, fair and completely professional and well-contested and it makes a nice change to see it done this way.
janeorg will now hopefully leave this site after being such an utter prick, but peder and the few other good Danish fans on here can hold their head high.
Mik,
I am happy for you, unfortunatelly my guy lost and it wasn't a bs loss either. I;d like to see a rematch. But I was so impressed with Joe. Kessler is just a very talented and intelligent boxer and Joe beat him.
JC sounds confident and that is good enough for me. I dont think he should be eating too many cakes and stuff if what ive heard he likes to eat is true. JC is gettin on but he has a few great fights left in him and theres nothing like good old experience.
Im quietly confident JC will win this. This is the opportunity he has waited so long for.
I dont usually quote myself, but i was right to be quietly confident. I got one prediction wrong in that i though DLH could beat PBF, and we are all allowed mistakes. But i got it right this time. As i say people like to underestimate Joe and he should be compensated with the p4p top spot.
