Cristian is also a top class act. There is a thread blaming him for the fact that none of the other top level guys wish to fight him, does it ever end?

Christian is promoted by an influencial American yet is he -questionmark-

Not yet, but he's only 25 and probably has a good 4-5 years in his current state, let's hope for the best.

[Marnoff]

Those are great interviews. Very difficult to not like either. Genuine confidence, honest without insulting, very good. I can't wait for this fight.

me neither:D
latest in danish papers says that kessler wil be wearing shorts with half danish and half british skt. georg flag. and that repporters from wales says he will be hatet for that in cardiff "they will hate me anyway so thats ok" kessler said

[KayEpps]

It's nice to see guys just talk and promote - without all the trash talking and shoving matches at the press conferences.

Man, Joe sure is a cool customer...Kessler is such a nice guy, though!

[sjc]

One of my 2 favorite fighters will (more than likely) lose on Nov 3rd :|

[Jimbo]

why dosent Kessler just base himself in England, he could get a large fan base and have his own 30,000 + fans at every fight if he claims Englishness! I know hes already doing it now, but that is probably more for a publiciry thing, if he actually started wearing England shorts and calling himself English he wouls make shed loads more cash.

Maybe he likes being Danish?

[ThePlugInBabies]

arran jumping ship already.

[duran83]

That women needs to be shot dead, Frank fuck her off

She is so stupid...not to mention a bad journalist...she wasn't even sure whether it was "Super Middle Weight" or what...!

[Max Molyneux]

Kessler burst Into laughter when he said I see a loser on November 3rd.

All I see If Calzaghe wearing 4 belts on November 3rd Including his Magazine belt.

[Max Molyneux]

Why can't Kessler make much sense.

He's going urrrrr like Stallone as Rocky.

I wonder how Calzaghe would sound like in Danish.:yep

[Clearly Cool]

I am a fan of Kessler for sure, but only recently have I been looking into Calzaghe, his fights and his character. Truth be told im annoyed because he seems like a good bloke and I know one of these guys is going to get beat on the 3rd of Nov.

Kess by knockout.

[PH|LLA]

Calzaghe vs Kessler is the biggest fight in a long long time

I'm so pumped!

I already have 250$ on the fight and its not even mid september!

[markclow]

I predict a great fight from 2 great champions and even the loser will earn respect.

[Max Molyneux]

I wonder how Calzaghe would sound like in Danish.:yep

He would sound like a true Viking.


I used to have a Denmark T-shirt from when I went there on Holiday when I was 9.

It was spelt Danmark though like the Danes spell It.

[Max Molyneux]

You say you have French ancestors...speak French better than he speaks English, Max?:blood

I forgot most French I learned though.

I can read French directions easy though.

I probably speak clearer French than English though. I mostly mumble English.

Kessler looks the shorter fighter too.:D

No, he's not...it's just angles...but Kessler has the longer reach!:D

Yaaay! I won!:happy :happy :happy

He won't Nov. 3rd, it's likely his entire face will be battered.

Yes...Joe is a big, bad bully...not friendly like Mikkel!:bart

China Hands avatar will be a real photo of Joe's victory but It will hold more belts.

I cannot either!

...and then...Bute!:D

[Decebal]

"It's just angles" - re Joe being taller

Isn't it funny then, that in every single shot, he's taller? Must be those angles every single time huh?

It's just that Kessler always keeps his chin down...

[Max Molyneux]

First undisputed SMW champ, I can't wait.:good

I already think he's undisputed anyway.:D

[Doc BNB]

I predict a great fight from 2 great champions and even the loser will earn respect.

Maybe, except on boxing forums because there's a rule where you have to put down at least one figher if not both.

[Decebal]

Regardless of Kessler keeping his chin down - look at their shoulders, Joe has more height - not by much but he's the taller fighter.

...Yes...I was surprised to see that too! In this picture (although Kessler is slightly closer to the camera), Joe does look taller, by up to an inch, but not more...but Kessler's arms look longer...

[Decebal]

Reach is identical - Kessler being closer to the camera would make him appear taller than he actually is, also.

I think Joe is about half an inch taller.

Like I've been saying all along, he's 6'1 at least.

If it's half an inch, it's an insignificant difference...the reach difference would be much more important...let's look at more pictures to see whether there is a reach difference.

In this one, Kessler's arms look longer, again, but not by more than 2 inches or so...

Calzaghe excells even more so when he has a height advantage...

Like I said, a wipeout.:lol:

Kessler is an inch taller.

<------- Avatar.

[Decebal]

To be honest...all this discussion is flawed...because even if they both stood up completely straight, it would be very hard to decide who was taller from pictures...the important conclusion though is...Joe is not significantly less tall...so much we can all agree...:deal

[PrideOfWales]

It's no wonder they're both pissing themselves laughing and respectful to each other: they are both going to havw career high paydays from this.

[Decebal]

<------- Avatar.

Where did you find that great picture, Astola?

[ChuckYoungblood]

The difference between their height and reach is minimal.

As I expected the interviews are not that controversial - both modest guys with a lot of respect for each other. I think Kessler enjoys that Joe is the center of attention over there.

Now, no hand or back-injuries...

[PrideOfWales]

This is true. Joe dealt with taller men than him (Veit, Woodhall), physically bigger men than him (Mitchell, Reid(?)), muscular men than him (Lacy) and everyone else the same height or less. Height and reach won't be an important factor in this fight because the movement of one boxer is brilliant and the other boxer is very accurate. It all depends how both move their chess pieces on the night.

[China_hand_Joe]

Looking at his track record, Calzaghe loves fighting taller, shorter and same sized fighters.

:lol:

[Astola]

It looks like they could be best friends...

Eitherway the one inch wont play a big part on the outcome.

Kesslers right + Calzaghes flurries is gonna decide. And then some.

[China_hand_Joe]

:D

Look at the nervous forced smile, classic omega-male behaviour.

Against Lacy it was more a far more dismissive staredown.

Which one has the nervous smile? I cant quite see it....:think

[China_hand_Joe]

Look at Kessler's shoulders too, it is a mismatch.

[Decebal]

I don't think I could get as close to another man without headbutting him...:verysad

[Astola]

Could u post the picture - Im loosing my mind trying too upload:rofl



Now u bring Kesslers shoulders into the comparison. Hmmm. I actually can see that one working if Joe looses:lol:
