Final Predictions: Joe Calzaghe vs. Mikkel Kessler

Calzaghe stops Kessler in round seven or eight.

 

and with that...

Calzaghe by decision.

 

they're both white and muscular. Beyond that, you are seriously, SERIOUSLY reaching on that one.

 

i'll go as far by adding that calzaghe is going to whup kessler towards the later rounds, solidifying his legacy as the greatest super middleweight of all time also cementing his place at the top spot of p4p rankings!

 

Where will you rate Kessler when he KO's Joe?

 

top 5

 

Referee: Mike Ortega.
Judges: Raul Caiz (WBA), John Stewart (WBO) and Massimo Barrovechio (WBC)

Why the WBC picked an Italian judge for this fight is beyond me:doh:

 

you are prolly right

but I wouldn't bet on Slappy beating Pavlick

 

seems fair. You going to the fight Carlos, is there alot of hype over there?

 

Yeah lots of writing in the papers - also lots of advertising, guess it takes something to sell a 95USD PPV at 2AM (for public places like bars, they charge around 1000$ + something like 50$ pr. customer). Even the normal sportsprograms, that normally dont spend much time on boxing has covered a lot.

I thought about going over to see it, but it doesn't fit too well with work and such so it will just be PPV with some friends.

 

i saw a full page ad in USA Today about the fight. i was surprised.

 

Yep, LOKradamus has spoken::

 

Kessler by knockout...Viking power:blobbox:

 

This is a very silly comment indeed...:nono:

BTW: ILLU- you planning on doing a round by round on Saturday?

 

never know. pavlik knows how to impose himself - that's for sure.

 

Kessler ko in 7 over Calslappy.

 

He's significantly better.

 

I'll take Kessler by UD

 

AFter this hand injury talk (where there's smoke there's fire) I'm most certainly confident in my Joe by decision pick! :doh:

WAR KESSLER!!!!

 

When Joe hurts his, they'll be even.

I expect you to change your pick between rounds four and five.

 

Which lends support to my pick of Kessler by SD, but deserves a UD.

 

NO SHIT?????!!!:laughing:

Joe will beat this guy from here to Copenhagen and back.

 

Since when? Fighters and their camps make up shit all the time to get publicity and skew odds.

"Where there's smoke there's fire."

:laughing:

Are these words you live by?

 

Is there an Italian fighting???:dunno: :dunno:

 

I have a feeling Joe will surey school Kessler, Kes will go in there looking for a KO and get picket apart.

Joe By UD

 

Calzaghe by close decision.

 

I am not fond of the refereeing skills of Mike Ortega.

 

It's Taken REED AWHILE to Figure this Fight Out...

Calzaghe's the "SAFE" Pick, but REED is Gonna Roll w/Kessler in this 1...Calzaghe's the Better ATHLETE, but Kessler's the Better ALL-AROUND Fighter...Kessler's the Most COMPLETE Fighter Calzaghe's EVER Fought...

Kessler's the STRAIGHTER Puncher & he'll COUNTER in the Midst of Calzaghe's WINGING, Rapid Fire Flurries...

Kessler's the YOUNGER, BIGGER, STRONGER Man in REED's Opinion & Even though Calzaghe SAYS he Prefers to COUNTER, he's BETTER when he Leads...Calzaghe will B Winning EARLY, but by Round 3 or 4, the Tide will SHIFT...

By Round 9 or 10, Calzaghe will have To Decide on Going for BROKE to Preserve his Status or Fighting SAFELY to Avoid Getting KO'ed...Either Way, he'll LOSE...

REED likes Kessler by a LATE Stoppage (10th or 11th Round) or a UNANIMOUS Decision...OFFICIAL Prediction, Kessler TKO 11...



REED

 

Kessler is not bigger and stronger.

He is an inch taller, but I bet Calzaghe weighs more tomorrow.

Don't forget how easily Calzaghe manhandled the bodybuilder man Lacy. He is far, far stronger than he looks.

 

But it's NOT Like Calzaghe was PUSHING Lacy Around the Ring...Calzaghe was WHIPPING Lacy's Ass w/his HANDs, Not his STRENGTH..

Besides that, Lacy's like 5'9 & DEFINITION Isn't Necessarily a Sign of STRENGTH...

Kessler's Definitely BIGGER than Calzaghe & REED Bets he's STRONGER...We'll Find Out Manana...
