Ok Clazaghe boxing better now.

58-57 Kessler.

Another in the bag for Joe there - he's taking Kessler's jab away from him, which is clearly key to the bout. He doesn't look capable of hurting Kessler but is peppering him and racking up points...

Anyone still doubting that this is Calzaghe's best opponent ever?

Kessler usually gets stronger as the fight progresses, landing the right now. Close 7th, Calzaghe doesn't like the power of the Dane who is a bit slow but strong,

i think joe's hands are shot after that round....

Deserter · Post by **Deserter** » 03 Nov 2007, 22:00

Joe looked set for his best round of the fight but then got tagged heavily as he got careless again. Kessler's round. I've got Joe one up, but the first could have gone either way to be honest.

10-9 Calzaghe

67-67

Fairly even round

Goz · Post by **Goz** » 03 Nov 2007, 22:00

Interesting round, Kess did stun JC but I still thought JC owned the round in the whole. 10-9 JC.

67-67

Its a tough fight

But Joes been here before,Joe is tough as hell

BBC gives round 7 to Kessler. 67-66 Kessler.

Ref was right, back of the head illegal blows. Kessler looks good in his rhythm but looks poor when backed up. It's so tight!

Deserter · Post by **Deserter** » 03 Nov 2007, 22:03

looks like the rumours about Kessler's hand injury aren't true :(
Couldn't separate them in that round, but Kessler looking stronger. Joe needs to use his experience and box his way through the final third to pull away.

10-9 Kessler

77-76 Kessler

Goz · Post by **Goz** » 03 Nov 2007, 22:04

JC goes ahead for me now. Scrappy but it's 77-76.

Kesslers tatoos horribly unsymettrical. Very lopsided.

classboxer · Post by **classboxer** » 03 Nov 2007, 22:07

Joe has amazing stamina no doubt,busy as hell and can keep it up as well

steve689 · Post by **steve689** » 03 Nov 2007, 22:07

Kessler's tired, lot's of nervous energy. Not a great fight.

Achybreaky · Post by **Achybreaky** » 03 Nov 2007, 22:07

joes is boxing well now and pulling away, i have him up by two.

I think he should be deducted a point for them

Joe takes the ninth for me but there's so little in these rounds. I think Kessler's letting some of this rounds slip through dropping his workrate and looking for the big punch too much. I've got Joe two up, but wouldn't argue with those having it level.
Great corner work from Enzo.
Setanta team have Joe three up - too wide for me.

87-85 to JC for me now, Joe is starting to get on top I feel.
