CALZAGHE V KESSLER TONIGHT

Calzaghe wins on points.
Bit of a let down tbh and I'll explain tomorrow.

 

I thought it was a great fight, really tense. You were never going to get a KO between these two. Kessler was awesome in places, but Calzaghe just went about his business as usual. Calzaghe proves he's the best pound for pound in the world.

I'm a Kessler fan now, comes across as a decent guy as well as a great fighter, and I'll look out for his fights in future.

 

i enjoyed the fight ,thats what you call boxing.

joes art of boxing won the fight but must say that kessler hits hard but joe just kept on coming for more,gid stuff.

 

a let down ?

one of the fights of the decade

 

2 smart boxers, Kesseler put up a good show but the class of Calzaghe shone thro in the middle and at the end

 

loved it , Calzaghe is thee man

 

I thought Kessler and Calzaghe had very similar styles. Calzaghe looked shaky in the earlier rounds when Kessler caught him with a few uppercuts, thats what makes Joe Calzaghe a champion, the ability to dig in and come through that sort of pressure and overcome

 

PEno.1

How did you get on ? Did you win a few bucks (virtual or real) on the fight ?

 

What a fight. A real cracker. Best man won.

 

I thought before hand he would win on points but didnt put any money on it ,shame on me

 

Watching it again now, can't really remember it from lat night.

 

The fight was ok, by no means a classic.
Well done to joe though, a living legend.
The thing that gets me though if it was a real fight, ie: to the end, last man standing I would fancy Kessler. Within boxing rules Joe won fair and square, but I dont think he ever looked like he could take the guy out.
Thats just my opinion.

 

If we played for long enough Celtic would win every SPL match. They train for 12 rounds.

 

Sat up to watch it last night and was not disappointed. Great fight between 2 great fighters.

I think Calzaghe may have slightly underestimated Kessler by trying to be a bit too clever early on. Every time he tried to launch a big attack he was picked off by some great shots by the Dane. The uppercut in the 4th looked like it had him wobbling.

But after that Calzaghe kept his distance and just picked him off with good punches. Nothing too powerful but scoring punches. It was a very intelligent fight from Calzaghe, that was the difference. He could change his approach, Kessler didn't have a plan B.

 

All I'm saying is that I like fights to be finished. UFC does it for me. Too often boxing lets me down. These guys have so much more in them but restrict themselves to the rules. If yer gonna fight, then fight till its over. Points decisions dont really decide who's harder. Its boxing. I love a brawl I suppose.

 

Missed it went to bed at 10 told the wife to gie me a nudge at half 12 she did and i told her to * off i'm sleeping. wish i'd got up now.

 

Boxing is an art, UFC is just trying to kill each other. Joe is a great technical fighter. He isn't a big hitter that relies on one punch to win him the fight. Remember Lewis Tyson? Lenny just jabbed him into submition. I though both fighters came forward the whole time and Kessler could have won it until the end. I thought it was a cracker. Worth me signing up to setanta anyway, more than most Celtic SPL games.

 

Nothing wrong with a brawl though.

 

well * you then punk.
me n you differ on our love for celtic.
I dont ever proclaim to be a better Celtic fan than anyone but that statement shows we are not on the same level:bbpd:
