Mikkel Kessler Crushes Gusmyr Perdomo in Four

And JRReckoning.

Nah, Dave, I just like giving Bat a hard time. I pretty much knew how it was gonna go, but sometimes I just can't help but root for the underdog to upset the apple cart.

There was a thread about it a day or two ago. I'm serious.

If you really can't tell when people are just winding you up, you need to get a life and go out more often!

I know, I was joking as well, as you'll realise if you look at my other posts in this thread.

I just don't want to people to think I cry. Well I do. But only when I look at my paycheck


All in good fun.

I disagree to an extent about Ward. Froch may very well beat him, if they fight, but I just think Ward has a very difficult style for many to face, unless you have very good timing and jab (something which Froch seems to abandon for stretches).

I just think Ward-Froch is a pick 'em fight as well.

I agree that Froch will have to be on his A game to beat Ward. I didn't say he'd beat him easily, but as long as he's on his A game, he should be the strong favourite to win. He does have a very good jab when he's on his A game, and decent timing. His timing was badly off in the first half of the Taylor fight but it was very good indeed for the last four rounds of that fight.

I like Froch (how can you not?), but I think he makes it hard on himself. He'd make things easier if he jabbed more consistently, kept his hands up, listened to McCracken, etc.

But hey, it's worked so far, right?

Kessler has serious ****ing power. I think he will KO Froch if Froch fights his normal fight plodding forward.

perdoma was actually worse than his record suggests. unbelievable.

You crack me up.

Absolutely.

Although as far as keeping his hands up is concerned, the time he needs to do that is when he is moving out of range. That's when he keeps getting caught unnecessarily. He keeps saying he is working on doing exactly that, but he keeps forgetting to do it in the heat of the battle.

He doesn't need to keep them up the rest of the time. Keeping them low allows him to counter from difficult to see angles. But he does need to start keeping them up when moving out of range. And he knows it.

But hey, it's worked so far, right?

Hmmmm ... he can only get away with it for so long. But he knows that as well, so we'll see what happens against Dirrell. He did say after the Taylor fight that it was his own fault that he'd started so badly, because he didn't listen to his corner.
