KESSLER: Sparring with Ross Thompson

[ACHlLLES]

I think the only reason Kessler lost that fight was because his hand was broken and he couldn't spare enough. I even got the feeling that Kess wasnt throwing and backing up during the middle rounds, because he was afraid to make his hands worse.

I'd pick kessler in a rematch anyday, but then again maybe i just dont like Cal...

You're a hater making excuses, Kessler was hurt by body shots thats why his ass was backing up.

Kessler is a good fighter but his resume looks like a joke compared to Calzaghes, Calzaghes experience showed up and his intelligence.

Hence my maybe i just dont like cal comment.

Your boy Kessler needs to start improving his resume or someone like Taylor will come up from middle-weight and beat him.

[VirusTI]

True, but Kess isnt so much my boy, as i think Cal gets overrated by his fans and underrated by haters, more so the former.
On the other hand I think Taylor and kesslers is a close fight, pick'em.
Kessler vs Pavlik= Kessler TKO/ud
The reason being: i think Taylor is better than Pavlik(Pavlik just had his number) and I think Kessler would take Pavlik to school.

Jan i know your close with Team Kessler. He looks vicious and ferocious in those sparring videos, no doubt about it.

Can you tell him one thing though!

When hes thinking about throwing punches, his forearms and hands go flabby. Making it harder for him and slower, to throw combinations from his position.

If he maintained solid hands, and didn't relaxe them, he wouldn't have any flaws.

Just to clarify - i have nothing to do with Team Kessler - just a fan. Good advises though.

i think calzaghe won the fight with mikkel because he took away his jab, he did it with better movement an awakward southpaw stance and like someone said earlier with good body shots in the middler rounds. once kessler had to start coming forward joe was comfortable playing the role of counter puncher.

anyway if mikkel can be hurt by joes body punches what will pavlik, taylor, dawson, bute do to kessler. you could argue that joes a better fighter than those iv mentioned in terms of stance, technique and better boxing skills but if powder puff puncher like calzaghe can hurt kessler by going to the body what will happen when a tougher puncher comes along.

anyways i really like kessler just hop he gets his ass over to the US against some big names and shows what hes really ll about.
