This has to be the most idiotic and unprofesional sports article i have ever read.

This is the last time i will be visiting this site when i need some serius pre-fight information.
This aint objective in anyway, this is straight forward propagandistic.

Which serius editor would allow such a tool as Scott Gilfoid to comment on anything. Let alone write articles.
Shame on you !

i read the comment regarding ward bein able to wax the floor with calzage———–have you lost your mind. Ward would have to be able to beat bernard hopkins and roy jopes jr today===before u give him a chance against calzage who in my opinion would had got his azz handed to him if he fought roy jones jr or b-hop in there primes=========in their primes they were made of gold——-roy jones owned boxing for 10 years————–marque fighter== roy and bernard beat people up == they did not pitter padder, run around the ring- have their records padded——-they just waisted you– you really thing ward is all that—- then u dont know boxing—————good luck

Fight fans, this super 6 is all about styles. You will pick the fighter of choice based on what style you like——-when it all comes down to it———it will be pure talent that takes charge—–we will not know that for a couple more fights. regarding taylor- he is done. Ward is untested and has fought no talent- his record was padded from get. Ward fans dont get ur feelings hurt, but truth is truth. Dirrel is a cry baby, but has the talent to hurt you. dirrel has speed and can place his shots well– ok, he holds- will they all hold at times, some more than most. If ur all that, then holds dont mean crap- u know how to fight around and trough it. example being- ricky hatton. that guy was the king of holding- nobody said crap about it- mayweather had all the answers for those who like to hold– guess what, no holding because he was to good to allow you to do so. back to the super 6—all around solid fighter is going to be kessler- has fought the best- has the best wins- hits hard, has good speed- he mayber mechanical, but he knows how to cut down the ring for all the speed fighters== my favorite to win is dirrel——-so lets get it on

Kessler is not your “typical” euro fighter-he has very good all-round boxing skills.He pushed a peak Calzaghe to the limit and if you asked Joe who he fancied before the tourney,I bet he’d say the Dane!Anyway,yet another one of your typical offerings.

Scott, I like Ward. But outside of speed, what has been all that impressive about Dirrell???

Oh yeah, there’s loads of American fighters i really like but Scott Gilford is slowly turning me against all of them. i.e Andre Ward, i really like this guy but i’m gagging for him to lose just to pi*s Scott off. Well done Scott, What a muppet.

Typical basic Euro fighters 2 Yanks 0. That’s all that needs to be said. I can’t wait for Scotts excuses when Kessler Ko’s Ward.

kessler will beat ward as ward isnt strong fast or technically brilliant he was a brilliant amateur a poor proffesional

kessler was a good amateur an elite pro closing calzaghe down and smashing him unfortunatly kessler didnt possese the ability to counter his speed and in out style ward will jump in and be hammerd all night and end with a tko

And, a knock out on either side is very unlikely. Andre Ward doesn’t have alot of power in my opinion. But Kessler was not able to put away Andrade who he seemed to be able to hit at will. So I don’t see how he would be able to knockout Ward, a guy with much better fundamentals and defense. This fight will be somewhat of a chess match.

Kessler will have no answer for Ward’s leaping left hook. Its called pot shotting. On top of that, Ward won’t even throw the lead left hook if Kessler doesnt ever lean to his own right before throwing a punch. Ward by UD.

Too old, too slow, typical Euro fighter, a throw-back to the 60’s?

Isn’t this exactly the same thing you wrote about Froch…

When will you do the honourable thing and stop writing just like you promised?

andrade was robbed against bute. Calling him the best of the division is laughable at best.

As for ward, let’s see if he lives up to the hype. I would guess not. I think if he jumps in trying to throw left hooks like he has in the past he won’t get through the fight. Kessler will flatten him.
