Who Wins? Mikkel Kessler vs Glen Johnson

[Silencers]

I mentioned this one in another thread and some other people also thought it's a good idea since Kessler mentioned moving up to 175 and both of them have nothing on the horizon right now. Who wins this?

[MELLY-MEL...]

I think kessler wins a ud 8 rds to 4! could be a good fight, and have some great moments.

[KESSLER]

Kessler, no doubt.

He's not gonna knock him out though.. Kessler by an Andrade type of fight.

I don't know... but I love Glen Johnson

Johnson is much more educated in his way of pressuring his opponent though and he has one thing Andrade doesn't.....defense.

Kessler would probably win a decision. He would have some tough moments with Glen Johnson for sure.

Johnson can punch to the body well and he brings the pressure.
His pressure is not the kind of pressure Andrade brings, he can protect himself while coming forward like Calzaghe and intelligently cuts off the ring (atleast more intelligently than Andrade...).

Johnson, however, lacks the speed at this point of his career.
His handspeed was almost the same against Dawson as it was against Roy Jones but his feet were much slower than they used to be.
This is why Dawson was able to use his movement and box easily at certain points of the fight.


Johnson vs Roy Jones.

That is true. But I'm not talking about the 120-0 domination, I'm talking about the shots that Kessler would land, clean flush shots that Johnson would take and keep on the pressure. Johnson wins about 2-3 rounds.

I really don't think Kessler will land too many clean right hands, his jabs will give Johnson problems, Johnson's feet were slower against Dawson but he was still able to cut off the ring effectively at times and he kept his hands high so I don't think Kessler will land too many flush shots.

Doesn't mean I think Johnson will win, I think Kessler wins a close but clear decision.

Kessler is a bigger hitter and much much more accurate with his punches compared to Chad Dawson though.

I think Johnson could win a close really exciting desicion. but then again, if its a close fight Johnson loses. He always gets screwed on the close fights.
