To many fans, the upcoming and massively intriguing showdown between rival world boxing super middleweight rulers Joe Calzaghe and Mikkel Kessler has the look of a very winnable fight for the Danish boxer. The way Mikkel has dismantled opponents like German southpaw and one-time holder of the WBC 168 pound title, Markus Beyer, and out-boxed men like the unbeaten Mexican, Librado Andrade, has been mightily impressive. http://fightbeat.com/news_details.php?NW=20135
I can see why Joe would be favored. - He's quicker - He's more dynamic - He's a southpaw - He may not have the better chin, but it's more proven - More experience And the most important thing is Calazaghe is fighting on home soil. That doesn't necessarily mean all he has to do is last the distance to win, but if the fight is close, i don't see Kessler getting the nod. I'll be rooting for the Dane all the way though. War Kessler! :bears:
