Kessler would have a hell of a time trying to keep Dariusz off of him AND his jab out of his own face. Michaelcweski would have knocked him out, IMO.
Let's see how Kessler develops. I am very high on Kessler. I actually think he is a better fighter than Calzaghe. Calzaghe won because of his ring guile, wisdom and heart. Right now, I'd pick DM. Let's see how Kessler does in the future.
DM as the bigger, more proven guy should be the favorite but it is difficult to pick against Kessler either since he has never had trouble with guys like Dariusz and I have never seen him even hurt
When's he ever fought a guy like Dariusz? He's fought a fighter as tough (Andrade_ but only once has he fought someone as good....and Mikkel lost.
And that is why Dariusz is the favorite just as I said. However you can't make a pick with any degree of certainity (even in MM scale) since we don't know much about Kessler. He could have an astonishing chin for example which would change this fight completely
It's an even fight. I'd lean Kessler because he is faster and more precise. Michalczewski has the weight advantage and you never know if that will matter or not one weight class apart, but it can.
WOW has Dariusz become the new hero here all of a sudden, I'm surprised... I would pick Kessler, a bit more polished in my eyes. And by the way it's Michalczewski not Michael Czewski ::
You nuts? :notallthere: I'm from Germany i like him, i was just surprised since everyone and his mom seemed to call him Michalshitski on here...
That's like asking Joe Calzaghe vs Glen Johnson, who wins, in that other thread Dariusz was shopworn against Gonzales. A brawler approaching his forties and with almost fifty fights is NOT in his prime, usually
Yeah... MichalSHITski was Sooooooooo DIMINISHED from a Career of Facing Roy Jones Leftovers that he Eventually LOST to Roy Jones Leftovers... REED:hammert:
Word. Just like Jones got KOed by a Sven Ottke's leftover, of course after being soooooooooo diminished:hammert:
How Bout MichalSHITski-Griffin w/an UNbiased Ref???...Or, MichalSHITski-Rocchigiani I, if MichalSHITski WASN'T Allowed to QUIT???... REED:dunno:
What's Ottke Got to Do w/It???... @ Least Roy DIDN'T Get Beat by MichalSHITski Leftovers, the Way MichalSHITski Got Beat by Roy Jones Leftovers... REED:hammert:
You mean instead of that corrupt German, what's his name, Joe Cortez? Yeah, unless he had pulled a Jones-Sosa there, Dariusz would have needed a rematch to overcome the mighty Montell
No don't get me wrong, there is no shame in getting whupped by Sven Ottke's leftovers. Ottke was a baaaaad man.
Just as there's NO Shame N Getting your "0" AND your Title TAKEN by WHOlio Gonzalez... F.Y.I., Joe Cortez has a CATALOG of SHAKY Ref'ing Decisions...& MichalSHITski-Griffin is HIGH on the List... Since U're Comparing it to Jones-Sosa, How Many Times was Griffin DROPPED by MichalSHITski???... REED:dunno:
Come on. Roy was good enough so you don't have to start to defend him by bashing Dariusz. That is all beside the point. All I wanted to point out is that if you analyze this bout, you should take the Dariusz who beat Hill for example (before Jones did) and not the Dariusz who had looked bad in all of his latest fights and who was 35 with 48 fights. For a guy who fighs his style that is faaaar past prime. Of course, I am not sure you even want to make a logical pick here, or is Dariusz still too painful a memory:mj:
that was just the teenbyboppers who don't like anyone who isn't p4p#1 though :dunno: i don't think it's that flattering that people are picking him over a 168lber though
