I am offering this to the Calzaghe doubters:
The following stands is irregardless of the result of the Calzaghe - Kessler fight (whether it be NC, Kessler stoppage etc - any result!)
If by the end of the Calzaghe - Kessler fight Calzaghe has landed 1000 punches then China_hand_Joe recieves full control on my avatar, signature and location choices for one month
If by the end of the Calzaghe - Kessler fight Calzaghe has not landed 1000 punches then China_hand_Joe will be banned from the ESB forums for one month (the total number of months accumulates depending on the number of people involved in this bet) as a result of my participation in this bet
SLAPS COUNT AS PUNCHES
There is not limit to the number Calzaghe doubters that can enter into this bet - the more the more avatars, sigs and locations China_hand_Joe gets to pick for a months or alternatively China_hand_Joe recieves one months ban per person betting against me
Also be aware China_hand_Joe is as cunning as the offspring of Frank ****** and a fox as you accept this bet

I'd take a 'pick the winner' bet with you CHJ, but I don't want you to be gone for a month.
How about just a regulkar avatar/location/signiture bet?

He may throw 1000, but he won't land 1,000. Say he blows through Kessler and stops him in 8 rounds, that's not sufficient time for 1,000 landed shots.
Think this through. How about "stops" Kessler.

China - I like Kessler and think he will win, but he comes off as being a bit too vogue imo, and if he's losing the fight he doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who's prepared to wear 1000+ punches.
More than likely he'll take a dive after 20 (landing on his side) then being rushed to a plastic surgeon.

It's going to be very difficult for Calzaghe to land 1000 punches on Kessler.

Common sense tells me it's almost impossible for him to land 1000 punches. So who's going to be responsible for this common sense count?

Common sense tells me it's almost impossible for him to land 1000 punches. So who's going to be responsible for this common sense count?We'll all come to an agreement together whether or not Calzaghe has landed 1000 punches by the end of the Kessler fight - it should be quite easy to do - it will be obvious

Who's taller and has the longer reach?
Personally, I think Calzaghe will be a bit tenative.
This might be a chessmatch rather than a one sided beating that you're envisioning.
Kessler has power in both hands and is a good stand up boxer.

Does a punch to any part of the arm or shoulder count as a punch landed?

If it hits above the belt and not the gloves then I guess that would be a punch landed.

We'll use the compubox criteria of what is considered a landed punch

Come to think of it, the mathematical genius of Joe Calzaghe could land exactly 1,000 if he wished, but it's still a stretch.:think

Are we only talking about the Kessler fight?
Because, by the end of the Kessler fight, Joe will have landed 1000 punches. In fact, over his career he has probably landed many, many more.
I would accept an avatar bet if you are saying that Joe will land 1000 punches on Kessler according to compubox. But I don't really want you disappearing - you are entertaining.

That's a well possibility with CHJ, he's all about tricks.

Im willing to take a a 1 year ban from this forum that Calzague wont even land 400 punch during the fight, maybe 300.

I already lost all my v-cash on Marquez, but this bet is money in the bank - Calzaghe is not going to land 1000 punches on Kessler - is this a some kind of trick?
Why not change the bet to an avatar bet, you have a Kessler avatar for one month pr bet?

I'm in China. Just to be fair to you China, I'll neutralize my win if JC slaps less than 35% of his total hits. Against Jeff I think we did the slap percentage to 42,5% - so if JC has developed then you might "win" a month back. See u.
