Eric Lucas Vs Mikkel Kessler... Your thoughts?

[TOPitBull]

I think this fight is going to go to a decision.
I am thinking of betting some money on the over.

Over 8.5 rounds

What do you guys think? your opinions are always appreciated and respected.

I agree with over.........I have to be honest and say I have never seen either fighter but based on careful observation I have to think and hope Kessler wins this in a tough fight and good test for him as well as Lucas since neither guy has fought anyone of note........I want Lacy to fight Kessler after he beats Calzaghe personally.

Well Lucas has fought Danny Green (Lost by TKO in the 6th) Markus Beyer (Split Decisiion Loss for Lucas) and Omar Sheika (UD win for Lucas)

And Kessler has fought Mundine (Kessler wins UD) and Siaca (Kessler by TKO in the 8th) Siaca is a very heavy hitter.

so they have had some decent fights as of late. I just think they are equal opposition, and it will go the distance as neither has Ko'd much of their quality opposition early enough to scare me.

this is the same lucas that roy jones knocked out right???

if it is id take the over, hes a pretty tough and experienced guy, if he made it the distance with beyer id say he will make it the distance against kessler

Tell me about it... Betting on Lucas straight up to win pays very nicely, but being in Denmark, I wont bet on that ****.

do you do your betting online or do you have a book??

my book has the over/under at 9.5 rounds.... i dont really think the extra round matters but that kinda sucks

Probably the best boxing online book, and definitely the best overall.
