Braehmer the number 1 WBA contender to Mundine has moved up to LHW. He has asked for this.

Mikkel Kessler is now number 1 contender.

Kessler said today " he wants a fight with Calzaghe or Mundine".

Hes not getting Calzaghe.

Ult, no way Mundine fights Kessler again. When are you going to see the light?

I actually don't want the fight to happen.

No one can ignore team Kessler statement though. It included 2 fighters. And there not gonna get Joe C.

Its more a case of the WBA. Rather than choc for this fight in the making.

It looks as though the WBA are sick of these shitty defences.

why would kessler want calzaghe again?? the fight wasn't even close.
mundine kessler ,now that deserves a rematch .plain and simple.

Its obvious there not after Calzaghe. The Kessler camp are trying to put pressure on choc. And they eventually will. After the Soliman fight the WBA will force a mandatory which will be Kess.

i don't think Mundine will fight Kessler.

Why:

there isn't enough money in it and way too much risk. He loses, its the end.

Mundine could earn the same money for fighting the two bums and preserve his career.

Your missing the point.

The WBA are forcing the fight.

They have to fight.

In a way it shows the incompetence of Khoder Nasser.

If Mundine had fought Taylor, or someone decent in the last couple of fights the WBA wouldn't act like this. They will enforce the mandatory.

The big question is, will the fight with Soliman be scrapped?

It better be, Mundine should do all he can to get out of it.

I think it all depends on how much pressure Kesslers team will put on the WBA.

And judging from last night, they want this fight signed and ready to fight very soon.

Im not going to be suprised if there is a press conference from team Mundine in the next few weeks. The soliman fight is pointless. Maybe Soliman and Hamden could fight on the under card, especially if the fight is in the US.

Well done Khoder Nasser. In trying to make as much money fighting bums as you can, you have awoken and pissed off a guy who i can't see Mundine beating.

He won't beat Kessler in a rematch. Kessler is a better fighter now that he lost to JC and will be willing to prove that.

Agree. I think it will be more competitive than the first fight. But i think Kessler will win.

Its ironic isn't it. Khoder Nasser has over protected Mundine for a while. In hindsight all he had to do was organise a fight with Bika, Lacy or Inkin/Froch, and the WBA would have not bowed to pressure from Kessler. But now they will. And Mundine will fight the one guy he has been trying to avoid the most.

Its a bad match up for Mundine. Kessler is simply to strong.

Poor Management on show.

This fight has suprised me big time. Even though i think Choc will loose, its good for aussie boxing especially if its in the USA.

By reading this, it seems that they have already signed.

Mikkel Kessler rejects that fear made him cancel a fight between him and the Colombian Miranda in the 11th hour, as Miranda says.
"Of course I´m not afraid to face Miranda. But I want to become a world champion again, I wont become that facing Miranda but against Mundine. So it´s obvious, I´ll take that chance to get my belt back Mikkel Kessler says to Ekstra Bladet.
Mikkel Kessler has previously faced Mundine, and that fight had a Danish winner, but Kessler rejects that a new fight against the Australian will be a guaranteed win.
" Nope, that´s not how the piano plays. The first fight against him was maybe the toughest of my career, and it will be hard again, because Mundine has improved. He is also an awkward type, so the fight will not be easy.

man mundine will lose the fight if he fights kessler after sam. mundine needs a proper tune up, not lesser opponents. mundine should fight miranda or lacy first, then fight kessler.

With the Bums Mundine has been fighting, Miranda & Lacy would be a big step up for him.

true. but at least its a better than fighting the top dog straight after lesser opponents.

why would there not be much money in a mundine kessler rematch? i thought it would be more than what he was getting for the pathetic girls he has been fighting

true. but at least its a better than fighting the top dog straight after lesser opponents.

Not a good idea, seeing that Miranda has a strong chance of beating him......Lacy, however would have been more ideal.

Great news if Mundine could rematch Kessler. Choc is a very live underdog in this fight. At worst he will make a better showing than the first fight.

We have those who want him to take the fight and we have those who tell him he's going to lose and its also these people who are busting his balls for fighting bums. You would think everyone wants this fight for what it is...a great matchup with between two top contenders in the division.

Mundine loses to Kessler, he's not finished, he has already been dusted by Kessler. There are many fighters out there that Choc can beat.

He gets a belt, but this does nothing for him for exposure in the USA. If we was looking for a very lucrative deal with Pavlik or Taylor in the future, he should have gone the Miranda way.

I disagree there.

If the fight happens in the US. Which i think it will because of Kessler intentions. And also Chocs to fight abroad.

The fight will sell 10 000 tickets.

Why?

Mundine will do something stupid in the press conference. And there are thousands of aussies and Europeans in Las Vegas for holidays and living there all the time. And they will show up..

Not a good idea, seeing that Miranda has a strong chance of beating him......Lacy, however would have been more ideal.

The problem with Bika, Lacy and Miranda is they throw loopy punchers. Choc is an accurate counter puncher and will likely score a wide UD against them.

Im much happier Kessler is fighting him. Its a much closer fight then Miranda. Win or loose a good performance, in the US establishes a name for Anthony, especially if Kessler goes on to knock out some big Americans.

If Choc is looking for exposure in the US he needs to fight someone who the Americans hold in high regard.

I don’t think a Lacy or a Miranda would help him.

If he was smart (which he isn’t) he should fight Bika…Both would get handsome pay packets and Choc would stop him inside 5 rounds.

He would then gain the Americans respect. And hopefully get a big name

Not a good idea, seeing that Miranda has a strong chance of beating him......Lacy, however would have been more ideal.
what are you basing this on? Who has Miranda beaten at SMW to make you think this?

Miranda is one of the most overrated fighters in the game today, he has KO'd David Banks at SMW, you know the guy who couldn't get past the 1st round in the Contender. He should get an immediate title shot now for sure.

Both Kessler or Mundine smoke Miranda badly, it wouldn't be close.

The same can be said about Mundine. Truth is, when both mundine + Miranda step up, they both get beaten. You cannot deny Miranda is a dangerous fighter if you are a fan or not.

Also, contradicting yourself doesn't help. I agree Kessler would beat Mundine again, and would decision Miranda.....but saying Mundine would 'smoke' Miranda is a joke. What do you based this on? Yes, he's the bigger man, but this fight would be a lot closer then Kessler/Mundine.

I'll believe it when I see it signed and dated.
You're not being paid per thread started about Mundine are you Ult? :boxing:

No. I wish i was.

Theres nothing to believe here.

Other than Kessler is Mundines mandatory. And Team Kessler will pressure the WBA and the mandatory will occur.

Even if it hasn't been signed yet, its already done.

Like i said before, the big question is whether he still fights Soliman.
