Kessler are in great shape,he has sparring 160 rounds,not like when he fought Mundine in Australia,when has he only sparring a few rounds before the fight
Poor Eric Lucas,it will be bloody and it will hurts on Saturday
Kessler by ko 4 round
Lacy said himself that he was not ready for a Kessler fight....credit to him for saying that and not trying to get too ahead and big-headed of himself!...having said that, Lacy has put on two good fights now, and I now believe that there is no way possible that Lacy would want to fight Kessler.........it would be too much of a risk for him and not that much money........hence the reason for him mentioning Tarver, Hopkins, etc.......after all that's all boxing is about, money.......
Yes i also hope Kessler will take some fight in US to shows himself.
As for out pricing himself against Lacy - Maybe he did. Thats what Lacy/Shaw tells us. According to Team Palle (Kesslers promotors) that version simply leaves out half of the offer.
Both versions basicly agree on the money mentioned (think it was about 1.3 mill$ ???)
Now Lacy/Shaw just say Kessler asked that price to fight in the US - and that demand was rejected - end of story.
According to Team Palle however it was a two way offer. EITHER Kessler would fight in the US for the mentioned price, OR Lacy could be payed the same to fight in Denmark.
If its true it sounds like a fair offer to me
Eh, who knows. Sounds like you know more about this than I do.
As I recall, it was Kessler who priced himself out of that paticular matchup. That's fine, though. I say let it brew into a real event instead of a unification in what would amount to Lacy fighting a guy almost no one's heard of in the US. Kessler needs to get his ass over here. Almost anyone would do, but he needs to make it happen.

thats only because lacy has set himself on next fighting tarver or taylor,which means that after he beats calzaghe he's going for the belts in lightheavy and middle
I think that'd be a mistake on Lacy's part. I'd be surprised if Tarver fights at Light heavy again (beyond a Johnson rubber match) and Lacy is solid at 168. At 160 he'd be drained. Plus, there's plenty of housecleaning for him to do right at his own weight. I say take care of his division and make Taylor come to him a year or two down the line.
Oh no,Kessler has offer Lacy to fight him in Usa or Denmark,but Lacy say no thank`s

Kessler and Lacy are the 2 top dogs in the division, Calzaghe is slipping and past his prime.
I think Kessler would beat Lucas handidly but I'm most looking forward to a future match-up between the 2 young undefeated champions. To bad...Lacy hasn't shown much interest in this fight.
Yes,it will be the fight of the year,but like i said before if Kessler win his fight against Lucas a American tv network offer Kessler a contract to fight in US,so maybe Kessler and Lacy will meet if the money are there

Forget about it, Lucas is not that big of a name. Kessler should run after Lacy if he want's to fight in the U.S. but I don't think he want it.

If Kessler win`s over Lucas will a American tv network offer Kessler a contract to fight in US,so it will be the last time for us to see Kessler fight in Denmark

I'm from montreal and I can asure you that Kessler is going to win an easy fight. Lucas is not in shape and was inactive in the last year. And when he fought they were bum's. Still I'm excited about this fight, Lucas has experience and can cause an upset!
