Boxing: Super 6 Classic Ward vs Kessler Recap/ Preview of the fight that has to happen

ward

Tonite was the final fight of the 1st round of the Super middleweight Super 6 classic between Andre Ward vs Mikkel Kessler. Andre Ward was able to take the WBA 168 lbs title from Mikkel Kessler tonite in his hometown of Oakland CA. Ward completely dominated this fight from the beginning and put on a clinic agasint kessler. Wards speed was just too much for kessler to handle as He won by TKO in the 11th round. Ward is a very versatile fighter who can beat you in many ways inside, outside, left handed, right handed he can do it all which is why he proved he is the best coming prospect in boxing right now and rightfully deserving of the WBA middleweight title belt!

Now with Manny Pacquiao defeating Miguel Cotto the fight all boxing fans are talking about and wanna see is Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao! This fight will and must happen there is way too much money to be made for this not to happen! Now granted there will be some problems arising during the negotiations about the purse split and weight. Mayweather claims that he won't do this fight if the purse is split 50-50 becuz he wants at least 60-40. Well for mayweather that is not going to happen becuz pacquiao has proven to be the best in the business right now and he must give the man his money plus wit Bob Arum getting 27% of pacquiaos money anyway and the amount of money it can generate Mayweather will still walk away with more money at 50-50. Now I'm sure mayweather wants pacquiao to come up to 147 lbs while pacquiao would rather stay at his current weight of 144lbs. but that will eventually be decided even though rumors have it that Pacquiao has stated that he would come up to 147 lbs to fight Mayweather. But at the end of the day these are the two biggest and best fighters in the sport of boxing right now and they must give the fans what they want! So who will prevail in this fight will it be Pacquiaous southpaw unorthodox style of fighting wit his handspeed or will it be Floyd mayweathers superb tight defense with his precise timing and punching accuracy only time will tell but these two will be in the ring in 2010!
