Of course fighters are not scared of each other but when the fight started his posture seemed kind of funny. I remember my friends saying that he looked scared and I told them that he wasnt. He didn't look so confident in the beginning though and didnt seem to look it till about the third round I think. Just check his posture in the beggining of the fight and compare it to the one after the 3rd round. He looked funny. Idk just a random thought; I am curious to hear what you guys think; and if anyone noticed this.

Was Andre a little intimidated when he fought Kessler?

Not scared/intimidated at all but I believe him being human and all he was probably very nervous inside, as that was the biggest fight of his life and he knew it. But like a true champ he pushed those feelings down and executed his gameplan to perfection. I think he'll only get better as often that first big test is the hardest. He now knows what to expect and how to handle the pressure of the bright lights, etc

He was nervous at the start of the fight and he should be also. Those nerves are a sign that the fight means something to you and are a trigger to get your body ready for action. The pressure going into a fight must be enormous with so much at stake. He was going up against the tournament favorite and this was his chance to make a huge statement. Being nervous at the start of a fight is a good thing not a bad thing.
