Early look at the 3rd stage: Mikkel Kessler vs. Allen Green

[Evil Abed]

VS.

[Evil Abed]

Battle of the huge tattoos.

[Jim Jeffries]

Depends how many times Green looks at his feet.

[The Hammer]

Probably Kessler, but it's a tough one to pick until after I see how Green looks against Ward.

The version of Green that fought Miranda would surely lose to Kessler, but he had some health problems at that time so he wasn't at his best.

Does Green hit harder than Froch?

Does Green hit harder than Froch?

Greens left hook is IMO the best in the sport today (since Wlad is a heavyweight, i wont count him).

The power in his left hook s incredible. i think kessler WILL be hit by it, he's never showed me anything that says he won't. He also is looking less of a beast in these last few fights. I understand ward was all wrong for him, but he was forcing/pushing all of his shots with Froch and not putting snap on anything. i feel like he leaves his hands out there too long right now and it increases the chance that he does eat a left hook.

he gets KO'd if he does IMO, otherwise, i have him winning a good scrap, maybe even knocking green out.

[-GDS-]

Gotta give it up to Kessler. I didn't figure he'd bounce back the way he did, but he stepped up and delivered. I'd take Kessler now, but it be best to see how Green looks vs Ward.

[BOLLOCKS]

War Green!

i have no idea how green got into this tournament. peter manfredo is more qualified no joke. just shows how loud mouth talk can land you fights. green in the super six and paulie against khan. i used to be a fan of green until i realized he was just treading water fighting bums waiting to win the lotto. well CHA CHING! mission accomplished. so to any boxer out there who wants to make the big bucks make sure never to test yourself and only fight tune ups. and btw in your last fight you looked like you saw an alien when simms turned southpaw.

Normally I would pick Kessler but lets see after the Ward fight.
