Who's taking the "Blocky prediction" as their cemented pick?

[Amsterdam]

The "Blocky prediction" is that Calzaghe butchers Kessler and grinds him down to a late stoppage after a beautiful, brutal one sided affair.

I take it as my cemented pick.

Who else is taking it? Come on JC fans, we've got one more career defining performance for our guy and it's going to be phenominal, don't submit to the will of evil people like DanePugilist, Decebal and Deram who say otherwise.

Calzaghe by a supernatural, murderous display.

:deal

[RAMPAGE0017]

I think Calzaghe will take it, but I'm just not sure about seeing him stop Kessler.

[Pimp C]

Calzaghe by UD he's too much for Kessler:deal

[Amsterdam]

I think he stops Kessler as well. This is one of few times I agree with Blocky.

:good :good

[duran77]

Given his hand problems I am no so sure about the stoppage either, but what is up with China Hand Joe? He says Kessler will stop Calzaghe. I never expected that from him. I think JC by UD handily

I'm looking at this as 60/40 fight for Calzaghe and it's not going to be easy. It's going to be very competitive and I'm not discounting an upset . . . in fact I'll be rooting for one. :yep :hey

[Zakman]

Count me in - I've been saying that Calzaghe does a "Lacy" on him since they've been talking about this fight. Calzaghe by late TKO in a MUCH more one-sided fight than people expect.

Excellent, the 2005/2006 fight prediction king joins in on the Blocky prediction.

[Drew101]

If Calzaghe wins (and I don't think he will), it will be a closely contested fight, with Calzaghe's greater volume carrying the decision. I would be utterly shocked if he were able to pull a "Lacy" on a fighter who is considerably more skilled, and has many more facets to his game.

Personally, I think Kessler stops JC late in the fight.

[Decebal]

but what is up with China Hand Joe? He says Kessler will stop Calzaghe. I never expected that from him.

Mind games, manipulation and win-win strategising; he hopes that Joe will win so that he can say it was a past-his-second-prime Joe that did it. If he loses...well, he would not have lost had he been at least past-his-first-prime.

But, undoubtedly, deep down, there grows a grain of doubt. China Joe is no fool.

[Decebal]

But for that to happen, Calzaghe would have to be better than he was against Lacy, right? Because Kessler is not on par with Lacy...Also, this assumes that Kessler will not have improved for the fight? Who can improve more of the two? I go with the younger man.

Incorrect. Kessler is highly tentative when pressured/swarmed and against speed and high volume workrate, this will make him more and more tenative as the fight goes along and it will give Calzaghe more oppurtunities to land his body of work on a docile Kessler who can't take the heat.

Kessler is a better fighter than Lacy, but he's at a tremendous stylistic difficulty.

All of this is explained well in the Blocky prediction.

All things being equal, normally I WOULD go with the younger guy. But I'm just not convinced that Kessler is at Calzaghe's level. He may not be as unproven as Lacy was, but he sure is compared to Calzaghe. My take is it's too much of a step up for him, just like it was for Lacy.

[BigReg]

I'm definately going with Kessler. I think people are sleeping on Kessler. He's alot more talented than people give him credit. I have no idea why people are comparing him to Lacy, they have two entirely different styles. J.C has been living off that Lacy win for too long. Kessler 116-112.

Calzaghe at 35 is still at 80%, very fresh for 35. People going off of Bika and Manfredo have to remember Salem and Ashira as reasoning on why Lacy would "destroy" Calzaghe.

You mean that thread in which Blocky writes what Kessler would have to do to win, only to say that he cannot see it happening? Is there a link?

It's a good analysis, IF Joe can carry out his gameplan. If Kessler plans to let Joe do his thing, he will lose; might as well stay at home. Kessler needs to frustrate Joe to stop him from daring to swarm him in the usual way and to impose his will on the fight and dominate Joe. It's the only way, I think.

[Max Molyneux]

I agree with Blocky.

[Decebal]

don't submit to the will of evil people like DanePugilist, Decebal and Deram who say otherwise.



The Deuce's Dozen, please!:lol:

[Amsterdam]

The point is that Kessler cannot do that like Reid could. Reid at his peak was like an immovable prick with a cast iron chin, this is not the same for Kessler, whom cannot fight well out of his comfort zone against speed, swarming and workrate.

Calzaghe's footspeed will be a shock to Kessler and will tell the story of the fight.

Kessler fans use Reid as an example of landing right hands that stopped Calzaghe in his tracks, but Reid is a different fighter than Kessler all together.

A tentative fighter never does well against a lightning fast swarmer, why is this any different?

So in knowing that it's highly unlikely that Kessler can stop the swarming, which will make him docile from the attack and therefore vulnerable to the long brutalisation that he will recieve as Calzaghe keeps a frantic pace over a cautious, retreating man... then you've got it pinned Decebal, he may as well stay home.

Supernatural brutality, war Calzaghe!:deal

Kessler will loose the early rounds to a busy calzag but after joe break his hands hes gonna take over a less active JC and maybe score a late TKO, Kessler is a lot more skilled then Jeff Lacy and is bigger, JC wont be able to tag him like he did with JL, this is going to be a real long night for joe I think

No, I am absolutley 100% serious. There is no strength advantage that Kessler has over Calzaghe. Lacy was limited, but very strong and Calzaghe threw him around like a ragdoll.

Kessler being bullied by Mundine even for a few rounds is telling that his strength is not a reflection of his size. Kessler's bread and butter are his boxing skills and ring generalship, I don't feel he's the most raw physically strong SMW.

Look what happened to Lacy when he called Joe a slapper.
Mikkel... :patsch

Kessler has some successful rounds early and mid, catching Calzaghe coming in and from range and seeming to have the upper hand in spells. By round 8 Joe's workrate starts to tell on the Dane and the tide starts to turn gradually from a pretty even contest to an increasingly more one sided one.

Calzaghe swarms to a TKO11

...provided his hands hold up. If he busts one before round 7, Kessler wins a reasonable to tight UD and Joe should retire. If he should bust a hand after round 7, I'll say a draw... or MD/SD Kessler.

Hope someones gonna be resurecting this thread on Nov 4th.

So you are still convinced that Bika is the big liar on Palle's payroll ?

Bika's is of the very clear observation that Kessler is way stronger than Calzaghe. Basically he is the only person to talk with authority about that matter. Ha fought JC for 12 and Kessler for 60. I think his body knows the facts.

Maybe skils and generalship is prominent features of Kessler talent, but power obviously is coming close.

I have not seen the 1/2 odds, but I have see the percetages saying 58/42 for JC. If the bookies consider him that much better than Kessler then I am surprised that he is not leading more, considering hometurf with 60.000 + fanatic supporters. I would weigh that a lot more than 10% of the equation.

Anyway, Joe may be the first to put so much pressure on Kessler that he really has to fight for it, with his life. That will be first time for Mikkel, but somehow I think he appreciates the opportunity to let himself go 100%.

I am not a "writer" like Blocky. But somehow my predictions about the fight has been way better than Blockys pathetic prediction of no contes. The fight would never be on. Right Blocky. Joe had no incentive and it was a lose/lose configuration for Joe. I agree with the lose/lose for Joe but from another point of view.

Blocky the "fight analyst" has no objectivity in this matter. But his deductions sucks. For months he wrote a lot of shit claiming this fight wouldent do shit for Joe. Listen to Joe now. He has no doubt Kessler is the best doing the most for his legacy. Calzaghes deduction is in complete opposition to Blocky. Ok he needs to sell the match.

Another thing. How come ****** expect 60.000 or more if this was a insignificant fight. They UK audience knew way less about Kessler than the US audience did. But it is selling real fast this time. The contract isent even signed yet.

I think a lot of americans tend to favour Joe because he humiliated Lacy. Making Joe anything but a boxing god would denigrate Lacy completely and make him look worse than ever.

Lacy could have boxed Kessler just as easy as Joe back then. Kessler. Anybody remember the open letter Kessler wrote to Lacy. Kessler was frustrated that Joe wouldent fight him. But Lacy preferred Joe in the end. It could have been monet or it could have been that he considred his chances better against Joe than against Kessler. I think he was spot on that prediction.

My conclusion so far is that all the previous stated reasons for Joe not meeting Kessler, advocated by blocky et al. has been clarly disproved by ****** and Joe himself. That what i would call shitty predictions made by a biased mind.

To Joe this is the biggest and most important match ever. He says so himself. Kessler is his most dangerous opponent ever.

I am looking forward to Blocky packing his shit and crawl humiliated back down his shithole never to surface on ESB anymore. The guy is arrogant and condescending and htere is no more pleasurable thing in the world than knowing how he has to suffer utter humiliation and being the new laughing stock on ESB.

I think Joe has paved the road for an honourable defeat against someone he considers a clear #2. And the best he has met. It will not be a disgrace to loose to a younger and stronger guy.

It will be a disgrace to have been an "analyst" with superior knowledge and be sooo wrong. God I cant wait.......

Bika also said some guy named Sakio would be too good for Calzaghe beat but I do actually entirely agree with him this time, Kessler is special

[Brighton bomber]

This isn't going to be like Calzaghe/Lacy. Kessler is a very good fighter and his right hand will definately be a factor in the fight as Calzaghe has always been susceptible to straight right. I expect to see Kessler be out worked throughtout but have sucess early with the right hand. Calzaghe's chin takes everything Kessler can throw at him and he regularly finds a way past Kesslers jab. Kesslers lack of infighting skills is what will cost him the fight. From range Kessler has the edge but Calzaghe is faster and is able to get inside and dominate in mid to close range. Calzaghe by UD or even a late TKO if his hands hold up.

.

lol – Yes he saw it, and shook his head. I think the Kessler team pays very much attention on what Michael Marley and your analysis bring forward, as they obviously can’t think for themselves, and doesn’t know anything about boxing. I think Kessler really appreciates that you now have made the conclusion that he is good form the distance. It has been a puzzle for Kessler and his team for years, how he was capable of winning fights – but now they know.

And here is a much simpler analysis on what will happen on Nov. 3rd. It turns out that Kessler simply both is a better boxer and stronger fighter. Kessler UD (117-113)*3 or late TKO.

As you very well know, Blocky, I was the one responsible for convincing Joe that he needed to redeem himself and his legacy by arranging to fight Kessler.

Kessler talking distance, which is obviously key for him as noted by my "How Kessler could win"

wo[Only registered and activated users can see links] Kessler has noted that from your post...:patsch :nut :nut

Calzaghe's been in the gym working with Enzo Mac throughout this entire negotiation process so his health is going to be tip top, his hand injury wasn't as serious as was made out (he wanted this fight in July, remember?)





You're still a liaer - Dickhead

Cut from Joe's homepage dated 27/4/2007:
“I’m very pleased with the results of the x-ray and the doctor’s diagnosis. The pain and swelling should disappear over the next four weeks and then I can begin light training. A fight in July is completely ruled out however I am very much looking forward to a big showdown in September”. “I’m very pleased with the results of the x-ray and the doctor’s diagnosis.

Blocky,Do you suffer from xenophobia? I think you do!!

Do you know how retarded you look and sound with the things you say?! Your words of wisdom with how mikkel kessler should box joe calzaghe is probably the most childish thing i have read in the history of boxing forums.

In case you hadn't noticed without your glasses on kessler is unbeaten in 39 fights and has never looked like getting beaten,What makes you think he needs advice by a little turd like you?

The way you give your analysis on this fight is like you are playing your playstaion with your school friends in your bedroom.

There has been hundreds if not thousands of fights over the years that looked as though one particular fighter didn't stand a chance in hell because on paper it looked like he didn't have the necessary abilty to do so only to see the unthinkable happen.

Since when has it became a crime to get behind a fighter from your country??

Your abuse for anybody backing kessler to win is worse then a couple of school kids arguing in the playground over who is the better superhero?Batman or superman.

Your idea of repeating the same garbage and hate that comes out of your filthy little mouth needs to stop.

There are alot of supporters on both sides who have opinions on who will win and how the outcome will pan out and everyone on here debate the points then move on.But you resort to kids tactics by name calling and gutter trash tactics from the comfort of your own home.

if you want to be taken seriously by the adults on here you first need to show some respect and whilst your at it,,Go and see a psychiatrist to help you with your hate of danish people and jealousy of kessler.

I would have thought you would be over the fact that your missus loves the viking warrior mikkel kessler and danes in general.

My apologies if your offended with your own treatment.

If we don't all contribute to The Kessler Health Fund then we are all part of pre-meditated murder.

:yep :yep

It's so sad that it comes down to such things.

[Astola]

Great thread! A new way to discuss the fight process...

Anyway . I still feel very sure that the fight will be a classic considering the Inside vs outside aspect.

Both fighters are superior in what they do and therefore we have a megafight coming up. I dont care shit about Blocky's statements about Kesslers Jab (or the statement that Joe is capable of winning from the outside:patsch ) but I know that come fightnight - this fight is a fuckin' coin toss....

Although its close I think that Joe will loose this one. Kessler is by fuckin space ages leagues above any fighter Joe has faced. Prime Lacy, Eubank, Reid, Mitchell would loose to todays Kessler.

Then theres the southpaw vs orthodox discussion:rofl

Some people really beleive that an orthodox fighter always looses to a southpaw because his jab wont work or something else... This statement is allright considering that southpaws may have a 60/40 advantage to begin with. But its fuckin bullshit analyzing this matchup.

Both fighters adapt perfect etc...


Kessler by tko round 11 is my prediction. In a close fight with a lot of trading.

Exactly! I'm sick of it, so I just went to the darkside and took ol' Blocky's prediction as my own.

How about that wager?:hey

I almost hope that Hopkins doesn't dominate Winky this weekend, because if he does that'll probably send my head into outerspace and I'll make a crazy bet!:lol:

Have too admit that I dont have fuckin clue about Hops vs. Winky....

The fight is strangely lost and forgotten in my mind? Kinda like "seen it before - theyre old and I want to see Cotto/Mosley/PBF instead..."

Dont bet too much on Joe vs. Kessler. This fight is a bad bookie bet no matter what. Anything is likely to happen....

But a symbolic money bet between two dudes is allright. Just dont go bet the house, wife, dog, pension or anything...:good

Blocky wouldnt get her anyway because she wouldnt (many reasons - no need to get personal) :yep

Where's Deram's personality drained, expressionless opinion when we need it?

This thread is not complete without Deram and his creator DanePug.

Also, Pecks, Teke and JC need to come on over and join the fun.:good

Fuck the Blocky dude - hes too young and has got zero experience too know what the fuck hes talking about. Although he sometimes qualify with insightfull comments....

I saw Blocky in a green T-shirt and another pic with his girl.... its a disgrace that he shows this in a boxing forum:deal

I'm going with Kessler by TKO 10th-11th, and everyone is going to say that Calzahge got old overnight.

You're questioning CHJ's design of creating a "colourful figure" to combat the robot Deram?

The design is perfection, look at the response. CHJ and I are geniuses, it will show over when our enlightened Communist regime takes over the whole world.:yep

I have to say I truly respect Joe for saying that he feels he will be in the form of his life come fight-night. He certainly gives himself no excuses where his age is concerned; quite the opposite in fact. I think that is fair. If Joe loses, it won't be because of his age. He may never have had a real prime, the way ****** arranged fights for him, and we all know that his body is younger than that of an average boxer of similar age because of his training regime, etc., etc., so no...personally, I won't accept any excuses of this kind, either for making the loss look less bad, or for making the victory look even better.

[Astola]

And you're a good poster, but you don't come on hardly at all. Take some time off from fucking that bird(hard to do) and come on here to give Blockbot some abuse.:lol:

But when Im bored I'll show up. And predictions on this fight and others may help you and others in making your own prediction - winning mo money.

No I'll win the wager by claiming Kessler will win - causing you to loose money.

I said it before - Blockys prediction is old school and wont stand the test of time....

[huki]

I'm in a strange position here. I would love nothing more than to see Calzaghe lose in front of thousands of his fans, but at the same time, I don't want Kessler to win and have every Dane on here making threads about him being an ATG SMW. It's a really difficult pick.. Calzaghe seems to have the style advantage and experience on his side, but no one has seen Kessler perform in a big match and I think he will step up to another level and come away with the win. If Calzaghe wins, it also creates the Hopkins vs Calzaghe opportunity and it would be so perfect if Hopkins retired with a win over him.

Amsterdam/Zakman what do you think would be the biggest threat to Calzaghe at 168-175? Dawson? What would be your picks for Calzaghe vs Dawson/Hopkins? Oh, and Amsterdam, would you actually put money on Calzaghe beating Kessler by KO? That pick seems crazy. He owned Lacy all over the ring for every second and couldn't stop him, there's no way he will be owning Kessler like that.

[Dantes]

If Calzaghe wins (and I don't think he will), it will be a closely contested fight, with Calzaghe's greater volume carrying the decision. I would be utterly shocked if he were able to pull a "Lacy" on a fighter who is considerably more skilled, and has many more facets to his game.

Personally, I think Kessler stops JC late in the fight.

:good

I'll have a pile on Calzaghe straight victory, then a bit on Calzaghe by KO.

Calzaghe bullies Dawson to a close UD, great fight.

Calzaghe outworks Hopkins and pops in and out for a very wide UD.

[yesihavearm]

haha dont even mention kessler in the same sentence as a Prime Eubank. Chris would have absolutely schooled him, much like Joe is in nov.

[yesihavearm]

the same calzaghe who's beaten a total of 2 worthwhile opponents- Shot eubank and hype-train lacy?
As opposed to Kessler ? Who's best opponent by about a million miles is a timid Mundine.

Eubank
Woodhall
Reid
Brewer
Sheika
Lacy
Bika

Kicks the shit out of Kesslers resume.


And hype-train ? Please, can we only use that phrase when refering to Kessler himself.

[satyriion]

Tocker Pudwill would represent a tough challenge compared to what Kessler has been facing his ENTIRE career.


Lets see Blocky's Kessler v Calzaghe predictions so far.

They will never meet. Lose/lose for joe.

Mikkel is only 3 mil worth.

Mikkel won't draw the audience. Unknown entity to US

I am impressed you have not gone down your shit´hole yet, but come november 4th, you are gonna be one humiliated and totally stripped
"authority" on boxing.

Calzaghe is gonna get severly hit trying to "swarm" mikkel. He will taste straight right too much and end up like the other old guys like Beyer, Siaca, Lucas.
Hell they were all younger men than Joe. Joe will simply not leave his seat for round 9. That is if he has brains left. If not we will all enjoy seeing Joe fumbling round on the canves trying to figure out where he is and what happend to him, unable to stand up.

When he gets up he will face the reality of being beat in front of 60.000+ fans. Woouuw is that humiliating.

It is gonna one big bitter pill to swallow.

[THN]

In Blocky's opinion Kessler must be crazy, why meet Calzaghe, he could do as Mundine, meet tomatoe cans, earn good money. But he insists to meet Calzaghe why? Bc. he think he's the real world champion. Whats the problem Blocky? if youre rigth he will be taught a lesson! but at least he would have shown some currage. I dont now the outcome of this figth, but i think your hate Blocky, makes you blind for the facth that Kessler is very good and clever in the ring. He hasent lost he's head in a figth, and thats why he looks
one dimensionel, bc. he do what boxing is about, hit without beeing hit yourself. "The noble art of self defence".
Calzaghe somtimes loose he's concentration and figth like a mad man, i think Kessler will take advantage of that, cool and calm he will destyroy Calzaghe.
But we'll se the 4 of november, if Calzaghe win's i'll cheer him, bc. he will be damn good.
