    REED has Been VERY Reluctant to ACCEPT Joe Calzaghe, but Only a TRUE Hater would Do So After his Performance Tonight...

    REED CONFIDENTLY Picked Kessler & even Felt Kessler had the EDGE After 6 Rounds...But @ that SAME Moment, Calzaghe ASSERTED himself...

    Dude Showed a TREMENDOUS Chin & He Actually STRAIGHTENED his Shots for this Fight...He STILL Showboated, yet he Got AWAY w/It...

    @ this Point, Only Floyd Mayweather is CLEARLY a Better Fighter, Lb 4 Lb...Manny Pac MIGHT B, but REED Isn't Sure...

    Regardless, REED is a HARDCORE Roy Jones NUTHUGGER, yet has NO Problem Calling Calzaghe "The BEST Supermiddleweight EVER", After Tonight...

    Kessler's TECHNIQUE Troubled Calzaghe EARLY, but he ADJUSTED & Pretty Much DOMINATED the 2nd Half of the Fight...

    Props to Joe Calzaghe...

    :doh: GUTTED,.... he's 35, wasted his whole fucking career fighting nobody, and he'll retire in 1 or 2 fights, he also looks like shit inbetween big fights,..I hate him, but I'll never underestimate him again.

    E A S Y win.

    Kessler owes the ref greatly for stopping the action from those vicious bodyshots.

    E A S Y fight for Slappy.

    Calzaghe made adjustments by using footwork later on. He also done a great job of going to the body to set up the head shots.

    Kauki, whose prediction for this fight was correct, yours or mine?
    Keep in mind, my prediction was the total opposite of whatever it is you predicted...

    Even IF the Fight had Been STOPPED @ that Point it Most Certainly WASN'T Easy...@ MOST, Kessler MIGHT have Been DROPPED in that Instance, but it's NOT like he was On his Way to Being KO'ed or Something..

    The LACY Fight was Easy...NOT This Fight...

    HUGE Difference...

    Terrific, terrific fight...I really enjoyed this one. I had Kessler up after 8, but Joe dominated the latter rounds & I think we ALL have to admit it now - he might look HORRIBLE but Calzaghe is a true all time great. You just cant argue with it anymore. 17 years unbeaten 22 defences, 10 years as champion. Hut*Hut gives :-:bears: Right up there with Hopkins. now Im off to pass out. And I gotta get up to work in 5 hours :doh:

    Great peformance by Joe, he was clearly the better man.

    Oh, the draw was your prediction?
    I thought you were leaning towards Kessler, no?

    "NEVER" bet against Calzaghe!! Cause he win's every time:bears:

    He's gotten so vastly underrated by the boxing public,that it's ridiculous.

    He just beat a dude in his prime,and beat him like it was almost nothing!! NOBODY,not even Calzaghe's own hardcore fans thought he he would beat Lacy. Not only did he beat him,he made him a $2 Dollar Queer!!

    He needs to be ranked in the Top 3 of best current fighters and the Best "Super Middleweight" of All Time:bears:

    Now I don't want to sound all cock slappy over himbut-Joe is really THAT GOOD!!:bears:

    This fight was a beautiful technical semi-brawl

    The pavlik- taylor fight was beautiful but this fight was a technicians wet dream. Not an easy fight at all. I thought both men had their chances. Although i gave it to calzaghe.

    Me and IronDanLaw were the ones that were really the most "right" in this prediction.

    We stated clearly "Calzaghe is simply the better fighter".

    And that's what it came to, it was simple :lol:

    Well, REED Gave Kessler 4 of the 1st 6 Rounds....& it's NOT like Calzaghe Won EVERY Round Thereafter...


    Not Sure What Fight YOU Watched, but it Certainly WASN'T "Easy" for Calzaghe...

    Kessler proved to be very one dimensional. Good heart but couldn't adapt at all. Very good fundamentals and boxing skills but just doesn't that IT factor
