Who else thinks Ward will beat Kessler?

[street bully]

I actually have millions of points on Ward.

This fight is in Oakland, correct? If so, Kessler better hope for a KO, or he might just get Andre Dirrell'd!!

Or American judges will show why they are on average a lot more fair then their european counterparts.

I fear for Ward's life.

Me too, i thought it was against the law to murder people

If Ward doesn't gas out...I wouldn't be surprised if he won via late stoppage. He'll be countering Kessler all day and jabbing/ over hand right.

Ward has a questionable chin combined with an over reliance on his handspeed. He's not fought any fighter with timing yet and this will be the reason he gets hit all night by Kessler.

I honestly think the key to beating Kessler is out-boxing him from the outside, because he doesn't seem to be able to do a hell of a lot to stop it if you're able to get your jab in before him.

Unfortunately for 99% of fighters, getting your jab in before him is impossible.

The judges won't be troubled. Easy win for Kessler against another overrated 'prospect'. 6-8 round KO.

kess should KO him. ward is a good fighter, in fact no he is potentially a great fighter, he has sound fundamentals, good technique and good handspeed. i think his movement may cause kess some problems and ward may have more success on the inside than some may think.

but the minute wqard tastes kess's power he will become gun-shy and when he does that he'll be inviting kess onto him.

imo kess will stop him but until then i expect ward to pose some problems.

No way this is KO. Ward and Kessler will be a close decision just like Dirrell vs. Froch, not as sloppy as that fight since Ward will fight on the inside with anyone. Ward I think will win by MD.

I'm thinking earlier. Round 4 or 5.

Ward is too green, and master no skills. He has good array of skills, and will make it fairly even until the tempo gets to be too much.

Kessler will be the better man on the outside, and inside. Wards defense is not nearly good enough at this level, especially against Kessler, and his power is the worst of the 6.

Kessler tko 10 , It is in Oakland and Ward will fight his heart out.

Unless Ward has something that I havent seen yet

I just can't see Ward winning. Kessler is too good and too strong.
