Tonight: Calzaghe vs Kessler
I haven't seen Kessler fight before. But if he can stand with Calzaghe and match that speed...this should be fun.
I love good boxing and i will probably post on this fight after i watch it.
first two rounds...
Lots of feeling out. some decent exchanges toward the end of round 2.
Kessler has the best so far.
3rd round:
definitely more active.
Calzaghe is fast...
Kessler is good to match though...not as fast but fast still.
Kellerman is giving the 3rd clearly to Calzaghe.
Calzaghe had some moments where his right jab was getting through down the middle with ease.
4th round:
Kessler landed some early...nice flurry.
Landed a rocking uppercut on Calzaghe.
Calzaghe is handling it fine...not hurt really.
So far this is Kessler's round.
Calzaghe put some together at the end of the round but still Kessler's.
Let me say - i love Max Kellerman. The best boxing knowledge out there i think.
5th round:
small stuff - feeling each other out...Kessler waiting to counter...Calzaghe being more cautious.
Really good fight. A chess match, if you will.
Calzaghe maybe slightly...
6th round:
still cautious
Calzaghe is fast.
Kessler hasn't landed much, if anything really.
7th round:
more of the same.
Kessler less effective.
seems Kessler is changing it up some...attacking more. But not as much as Calzaghe..
Good round - maybe Kessler's.
8th round:
the best punch so far has still been an uppercut by Kessler.
When his land they are better - but Calzaghe is landing more and more cleanly.
Good round...fun last minute or so.
I think Calzaghe got that one...but a good flurry by both.
9th round:
Kessler landed a really good punch
Calzaghe does put some harmless flurries together...but they back Kessler up. So they look good on a scorecard.
Calzaghe is very good...to state what all the commentators have already said.
10th round:
so far to me...kinda like watching Kiltscho against Sam Peter. With more action and more skill in Kessler than Peter, and more in Calzaghe than Klitscho
Good exchanges here.
Still Calzaghe coming out a little better.
Kessler landed some nice punches at the minute mark.
Calzaghe SHOULD probably being playing it safer...love this guy, win or lose.
(Calzaghe broke Kessler in the second half of that round - M.Kellerman)
11th round:
more of the same...
Calzaghe is too quick.
Kessler is there though - these two HAVE TO BE the best in the class.
Calzaghe is crazy to keep stepping in...but he wouldn't be Calzaghe if he didn't.
Calzaghe gets that round although nothing much happened.
12th and final round:
unless something amazing happens by Kessler...Calzaghe puts another brick on the shrine he has built himself for the boxing world. He is truly a great fighter. Smart and fast. Very tough to fight.
Kessler, though, has proven to be worthy. I will watch this guy whenever i can.
Nice uppercut...Kessler could get lucky.
1:30 to go
Calzaghe unchanged, still bringing it...
Kessler still game...but overmatched slightly but clearly.
Big bombs thrown by Kessler but missing...
10secs to go...
the embrace after the bell...these two respect the hell out of each other.
Calzaghe just better.
Kessler needs to take it...and learn from it. He is good.
Calzaghe - Taylor
Calzaghe - Pavlik
Calzaghe wants Hopkins. Wow. I think Hopkins would have his hands full.
Nice fight.
