Kessler vs. Ward Super Six Preview
By Williams Mackay: On November 21st, WBA super middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler will be facing American Andre Ward in the Super Six tournament at the Oracle Arena, in Oakland, California. This could turn out to be one of the best match-ups of the entire Super Six tourney, because it pits too hard hitting fighters with extraordinary boxing skills and great defensive abilities. Ward, 25, isn’t considered to be one of the finalists in the tourney, but he could create a stir and some momentum if he can pull an upset over the 30-year-old Kessler in their fight.

Kessler vs. Ward: If the Fight Takes Place Now, Andre Wins
By Scott Gilfoid: On November 21st, Andre Ward (20-0, 13 KO’s) and World Boxing Association super middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler (42-1, 32 KO’s) will be meeting the first part of the Super Six tournament at the Oracle Arena, in Oakland, California. According to some, this bout will be matching the top two talents in the Super Six tournament and will possibly be showing the top eventual Super Six tourney finalists going at it. Whether that’s true or not is still unknown at this stage of the game, because both Kessler and Ward are still largely unproven as fighters.

Kessler vs. Ward: Is Mikkel too Slow and Old to Win?
By Scott Gilfoid: Although Mikkel Kessler (41-1, 31 KO’s) has been picked by a number of boxing experts to win the Super Six tournament which starts in October, I don’t see it that way. I don’t think Kessler will be good enough to beat his first opponent, 2004 Olympic Gold medalist Andre Ward (19-0, 12 KO’s).
