I really hope Ward wins this. The europeans are already up 2-0 (froch beat dirrell and abraham KO'd taylor) in the super six tournament.
kessler is no joke though. Ward is going to have to fight smart.

Andre Ward:
“I don’t have much to say about the fight, I feel like a quiet storm right now….I’ve been doing everything I need to do, not just for the last 6 to 8 weeks, but I’ve been preparing for this night since I was 9 years old. I want that [WBA] belt really, really, really bad….I’m in tremendous condition. You know I always seem to be the underdog but I embrace that.”
Mikkel Kessler:
“I’ve come all the way over here to Oakland and I’m 150 percent ready for the fight. I’ve had good preparation and I am in unbelievable shape….This is the best preparation I’ve had. I had a loss against Joe Calzaghe and it still tears me up today, so I’m not thinking about losing anymore.”
