KESSLER VS. WARD: Let's discuss!

[lyricalether]

This one might look a little like Dirrell vs. Froch. Except that Ward is a more polished boxer than Dirrell and Kessler throws better & harder combinations than Froch.

You have to favor the Dane, but S.O.G can for sure pull out a decision win if he is on point.

I'm excited to see this and will pull for the American.

u serious
?

Ward can stand and hold his ground MUCH better than dirrell..and Kessler does not come forward recklessly stalking.. I think they will trade momentum and the guy going forward wont always be kessler...its gonna be a good one

Completely serious. Kessler is a stalker but he's more technically sound and just plain better at it than Froch. Keeps a tighter guard too.

Ward doesn't punch as hard as Dirrell can IMO. So I don't think he'll be holding his ground that much. I expect to see him darting in to score some punches then quickly going back out. As well as using lots of lateral movement.

That's just my take on it. We'll see how it pans out, I'm really looking forward to it.

I wouldn't be surprised if Kessler won, but I'm going with Ward. I like fighters that put emphasis on adjusting. I'm more interested in seeing Kessler do Froch like he did Andrade.

Kessler is good but he is the most overrated fighter today by far.

How is it that in a division full of so much potential, that just a couple years ago it was easily the most overlooked weightclass in boxing make a complete 360 turn a round and easily be one of the most talented today?

And yet with all these great contenders out there and possible match-ups waiting to happen, that The number 1 rank easliy outclasses every single individual including rank 2-10? To the point where in this tournament before Kessler even fought that he is such a huge favorite to easily beat every single fighter with one handtied behind his back?

All i'm sayin is Kessler ain't no Ali. The only time he's ever been tested was his debut on HBO against an oppenent who ranks in the top 10 most overrated fighters of all time in Calzaghe, and he was outclassed!

You people need to revaluate Kessler a lil bit...

****ty post dude.


168 has been good all along, just no good Americans for you to rate.

There is no big favorite in the s6 tourney, but if you'd have to name one, Kessler would be an obvious choice.

After Lacy - Calzaghe I thougt it was pretty clear who was overrated and who was not..

Who in their right mind compares kessler to Ali?

168 only became big the last 2 years. I'll admit before that the only name's u had there were Kessler and Calzaghe, but thats a bunch of **** if u believe the quality of opposition 3-4 years ago is on the level of todays SMW contenders.

What i'm trying to point out is why Kessler the obvious choice? Ppl think he's gonna outclass and knock Ward out. Bull****, it's going all 12 rounds. And even if he does get a victory, no way will it be dominant.

OfCourse Lacy was overrated, but your acting like ppl praised him as the next Tyson. Who the **** was Lacy?? I'm American, and I never heard of him till he lost to Calzaghe...

Havent heard much Comparisons to Ali but thats what it seems like around here

Who has, in your oppinion, made such a big improvement to the 168 division of today, compared to that of 3 years ago?

You only started watching boxing in 2007 because that's exactly what they did.

The other 5 in the super 6? Bute? There still are a few from 3+ years ago that are still top contenders including Bika and Andrade as well
