Would Kessler knock Hopkins out?

[DA1CATAS]

Anyone who understands boxing knows that Hopkins would beat Kessler...

It would be technically too easy for him I think....Kessler would need that one ****er to land.

I don't know about this "straight lines" bull****. Kessler has excellent footwork and can come from many angles. He has great handspeed and variance on his timing. His punches are straight as arrows but that's a virtue, not a vice. And his defense is solid, his chin absolutely first rate.

I can't see him taking Hop's nonsense as lightly as Joe. Joe has supreme confidence, and even Addison has called him the toughest boxer mentally in the game. Kessler may or may not crack in this area

What are you talking about , he is a typical upright European style fighter , very tight and square , moves in straight lines and has no lateral movement , how Ive described him here is exactly the same as Cal said why he would beat him , nothing new here its common knowledge .

Kessler is very one-dimensional and Bernards forgotten more than he knows. If Calzaghe can barely beat this aged Hopkins, with all his aggression and stamina, how the hell is Kessler, who faded quite badly against Joe, going to sustain his efforts? There's no way. So his only chance is an early KO, and by Saturdays indications, Hopkins is not someone who'll lose by knock out early in a fight, if someones gonna get him it'll be late, and they'll be a damn sight better than Mikkel ****ing Kessler, Jesus name one name fighter the guys beat.

kessler faded - wtf?! he nearly knocked joe out in the last few rounds with straight punches, joe at times was hanging on - especially when they traded.

imo kessler vs b-hop in his prime - b-hop edges it but now i dunno kessler has too much.

That's a bit of arrogant overstatement. Not that I don't make the same types of comments. . . . . . .


It's mainly stereotype and prejudice that leads the small minority to think Hop would win . . . . . . see the "typical Euro" post above mine



The Hopkins legend has been shattered. He's 2-4 against elite fighters his own size

Hmmm.. didnt mean to come off that way...

But ya gotta see what i mean. Hopkins grab and clinch style whilst hitting with leading right and then moving away.

I am almost 95% sure that Kessler would lose on points to that fustrating style of defense and hit once after clinching.
