Kelly could knock him out, but if I were to pick a winner, I'd pick Kessler by late KO. I think he has superior speed of hand and foot, footwork, wider arsenal of punches, comparable power and workrate, better chin, accuracy...Kelly's only advantages are power and workrate, and he isn't better in those categories by much.
This would be a high class bout, i would edge towards Pavlik on points due to his workrate. There isn't much in it though.
Kessler has a good chin so i dont see him being stopped and he would catch Kelly throughout the fight with big shots. So this would make him a dangerous opponent.
