    I'm surprised there's so much confidence in Ward. He's a very skilled boxer, but to beat Kessler you gotta be something pretty special. He's the consensus #1 SMW for good reason.
    I think that a lot of it is based upon how Kessler looked against Perdomo, Ward's style, and the fact the fight is in Oakland.

      Tbh the only way Ward can win is by staying on his feet and hoping for a patriotic split decision win, there in nothing this guy has over kessler. Ward has proven nuthin at this level.

          That could be a factor, loud crowd plus low Kessler work rate

            Yeah, I understand, Shadows. You may very well be right. We'll see. I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy this one.

              I never thought Kess had low work rate. Interesting.

                How about you Kevin bro. Want a nice little wager?

                      Kessler will treat it like the Mundine fight and jab mainly to the body and very few right hands early. Kessler didn't throw many right hands until he was sure Mundine had slowed down. Body work is essential for both guys.

                      It wouldn't surprise me if Ward fought as a southpaw and circled to Kessler's left or at least circled that way in an orthodox stance. That way, he'd keep him reaching and off balance when he threw a straight right.
