Kelly Pavlik vs Mikkel Kessler....Who Wins??

[Dynamite Kid]

I feel one dimensional is more related to varied pace and ability to adapt than a style , Kessler is a frontrunner he likes to sit in a grove at the right distance for his long range and wide stance , he cant fight backwards , he cant fight inside when crowded and fights the same pace right through , Kelly can box or he can slug he can fight long or short range , his bodywork is getting good and Kessler has hardly any body work .

Kelly is a puncher he fights like a puncher its like saying Arguello or Monzon were one dimensional I look past the stance and style and try and see what work they are getting done , Kelly has a mixed bag Kessler dont .

fair enough

either way i see this as a Pavlik victory the only thing that would worry me is how easily Kelly was hit by lockett a bum but then again he was probably taking his time there, i think Pavlik is harder to hit when he fights at that relentless pace but when he stands back and tries to Box he is very open IMO however he would not take a backward step against Kessler and Kessler would not punch as hard when his weight is on his heels instead of the front foot

Kessler chin better??? When has his chin been testest by Calzaghe or Mundine???? Pavlik would KO within 10. Kessler is those fighters who can't adapt when fighting

[Cutthroat]

After seeing Kessler hurt by a body shot from Calzaghe then getting saved by the ref I think Pavlik will KO Kessler. Kessler's gonna get hit with a shot and is gonna be like "WTF!" He's never fought someone with the power of Pavlik. Oh and I'm tired of people saying Kessler is a big puncher, if he was really a big puncher he would've at least knocked Andrade down like Mack did. Hopkins was able to drop Calzaghe but Kessler couldn't. I'm not convinced that Kessler can take a hard shot from Pavlik nor can he KO Pavlik.

[MANGLER]

Tough call. I go back and forth on this fight whenever it gets discussed. I think Kessler by close decision.

[Silencers]

Haven't seen how effective Pavlik can be at 168 yet, so right now Kessler by decision although if Pavlik beats Hopkins impresively, I could change my mind.

id Go For Pavlik Tbh

Kessler Backs Up In Straight Lines And U Can Guarantee Pavlik Would Be Backing Him Up Its Okay Counter Punching A Guy Like Andrade A Guy Who Fights With His Face But Pavlik Has A Ram Rod Jab And A Mean Right Hand To Go With It And He Can Dish It Out For 12 Rounds Kessler Does Not Have Enough Angles Or Smarts To Avoid Or Offset Pavliks Relentless Aggression And Workrate Where As Calzaghe Does

In Short He Is To One Dimmensional To Avoid Pavliks High Contact Fight And Not Tough Enough To Stay With Pavlik ,pavlik Would Get Hit Hard But I Think He Would Dish Out More Than He Took

Full Success
