Talent vs. technique

By Doug Fischer

Andre Ward will have to use
all of his considerable speed
and versatility to overcome
Mikkel Kessler's decided edge
in experience and technique.
Ward (pictured) meets Kessler
(background) for the Dane's
168-pound title at the Oracle
Arena in Oakland, Calif. on
Saturday. Showtime will air
the bout at 10 p.m. ET/PT
(delayed on the West Coast).
