I dont know how easy it would be Taylor, but I pick Taylor to win. This I think would be a good fight, I would expect to see a lot of right hand bombs from both fighters.

Mianda... I like that dude. I dont think he was managed worth a ****. We havent seen the last of him... Got lots of potential...Its bad he had some ko losses but hes that dude that knock you Out or gets KOd. I think he would lay Kessler out cold....That would be a good good fight

Miranda BETTER THAN aNDRDE, mUNDINE OR bEYER?

Put down the pipe son.

Taylor gets such a raw deal on this forum, like I said before, 2 losses to pavlik dont make him ****e, the same way Vernon Forrest losing to Mayorga doesnt make him ****.

Now Stylistically, its a very close match up, Kessler' style isnt that dissimilar to Kelly Pavlik, which is not alot of variation, lots of punches in lines. And Kessler has a tight defence and has decent handspeed.

Thing is, Taylor has the footwork to give him real issues, Kessler is effective when a guy stands square on and allows him to get off those punches, Taylor is a good mover and can step off to the side whilst throwing double jabs and right hands at Kessler.

Taylor lost against Pavlik because he did 2 technical mistakes.

1) Holding the left low against the right of pavlik
2) Backing up onto the ropes, rather than using lateral movement.

He seems to have improved those against lacy.

Kessler has the style, but taylor has the skill and talent when he applies it.

I would kinda go with taylor, he has demonstrated his skills against a higher level of opposition.

I think he will, but we shall find out, buy hey I like froch's talk, the speech he did about calzaghe and his boxing achievements is a classic, and most of it the truth as well.

I give the edge to Kessler.
Taylor had a bad time passing throu Pavlik constant left right combo and I consider Kessler's jab as one of the best in the sport right now. I doubt Taylor ability to neutralize that jab the way Calzaghe did.

Anyone who thinks either fighter sucks or it would be an easy fight for one of them is an idiot.

Close fight; realistically I give the edge to Kessler based on Taylor's tendency to give less than 100%, which he would need to do in order to win this one. But if Taylor is at his best, I think he wins.

Exactly! While I favor Kessler to win, I doubt it's going to be an "easy" fight for either one of them. Many posters on NSB like to label almost every fighter besides their favorite, "bums, suck, fought nobodies, overrated etc." which is ridiculous when they're saying this BS about some of the best fighters in the world. The troll fest is here is getting old!
