Joe Calzaghe vs Mikkel Kessler Preview
Author: RL
Lookin a lil' too sweet there fellas??
This is the 2nd fight in what I call Boxing's Fall classic (1st being Kelly Pavlik's KO on OL' Jermain). I've been really looking forward to this fight since it was announced a few months back. Two great Super Middleweight champs of the world fighting to unify both respected titles. What more can you ask for? (take note Heavyweight Division...)
Though the popularity sides with Calzaghe, you can't look past Kessler. For a European fighter he's very slick and can get inside anybody he wants (pause). Calzaghe ,on the other hand, throws a lot of punches and stays busy throughout the fight. His most notable win which garnered more popularity from the us in the States was his KO win over Jeff Lacy who was looked at as one of the top Super Middleweights in the division.
I'm pulling for Kessler for the upset, but he has to win decisively by KO or just a brutal beating being that he's fighting in Joe's backyard. Either way it should be a great fight.
Here's a look at both fighters:
