    I've heard some sparring stories but they're only rumours. As far as I know, Kessler has never been down as a pro but then again he hasn't taken too many big punches either.

        Remember the Sartison fight - first round? Kessler took a shot to the head and looked like he was going down for a second but recovered.

          ward is a weak puncher. kessler has never been down ever. ward could not even ko an old and weak-chinned miranda.

            kess has never been down since he was a pro and id bet that he was very rarely down as an amateur as well.

            its hard to say just how good his chin is because he doesn't get tagged very often and doesn't seem to want to get tagged very often, he doesn't put himself into that position. his footwork is what helps him get in and out very quickly.

            andre ward hit miranda repeatedly with good shots but he couldn't take him down and miranda is not seen as having a solid chin (KO'd by pavlik and AA). not only that but greene said recently that alot of wards opponents say he doesn't have alot of pop behind his punches.

            i dont see ward KO'ing kess, im gonna go for kessler by KO 7.

              I really can't see Ward coming close to beating Kessler. Wide UD for Mikkel, or even stoppage late on.

                + ward is a euro hating ultra-nationalist, kessler will knock him out. kessler will go at ward furiously because he knows ward hates him and europe. this will give kessler extra motivation.

                    Kessler will stand up to Wards shots, it's Abrahams punches im worried about.

                    I'm picking Kessler to stop Ward and win the tournament but the layoff hay have had an effect so we'll see.

                      i think this fight will be similar to kessler-mundine only more in favour of kessler, he had a bad back against mundine.
