    Maybe because he spent the first 3 or 4 rounds eating jabs
    I think in the second Kessler fight's probably the most he's been hurt. Maybe the punch that rocked him in the Taylor fight before the knock down.

    He's never been close to being stopped. Not even nearly close to being "badly hurt".

    As for Kessler, It's a shame the new, improved, full vision Kessler was shot in his very first fight at 100%.

      Froch admitted that Reid and Kessler hurt him. And he got dropped by Taylor, he was more than just "momentarily buzzed". I'm not trying to diss him, I'm impressed by how well he recovers.

        Taylor knockdown was more of a flash. If you actually look at him, you can tell he's not really hurt. The punch he walked into just prior to the knockdown probably had more effect.

          But he's tough as nails, respect.


          He got hurt by : Reid, Taylor, Dirrell, Kessler x 2.

          You're right that he could just be bluffing and acting like he recovered quickly while he's actually still hurt.
          I made a thread about this like 2 years ago. He's like Roy slowed down 10x. Not sure how it work so well.

              You should start watching some of his fights.

                The 'new improved, full vision Kessler' had his first fight against Bouadla a couple of years ago.

                So you think he is shot?

                  Shame the full vision, new improved Kessler lasted such a short time.

                  And no I don't think he's shot.

                    He is not shot and then he just 'lasted'? I don't understand your point.
