      Also....Ward has a handspeed advantage, but not nearly by as much as many seem to think. Kessler's hands are deceptively quick, and he has steam on everything he throws.

      I predict a tough, tough night for Andre. I look forward to this fight much more than Cotto/Pacman.

        Kesslers handspeed is very quick. I think Ward only has a slight advantage in that department. But I do think Ward is the smarter and more versatile fighter

          no its just being a intelligent fighter. the fighters who remain successful in the game are those who know how to strategize and adapt to any oponent. wards best bet is to box, hit and not get hit. he will stay away from kesslers hard shots but he'll get his own shots in too. a shoot out isnt in wards favor so thats the right strategy for this fight. you have to box punchers otherwise u get knocked out, thats boxing.. that doesnt mean wards is scared though, dude is ready. u can tell he wants it bad, hes not scared of anyone.

            Haha that would be very funny if your prediction comes true.
