I have no link since i just saw it on the Romanian News Channel but his promotor or someone from his camp said they will glady fight Andrade again but they want Kessler, thats their dream fight and they believe they will beat Kessler in a unification easier then they beat Andrade
what do u guys think?
How can he be underrated? His reputation is built on a loss, as evident in your avatar and sig. Kessler's hand speed is a marvel and his combos are crisp and deadly but there's question marks over his adaptability, plus he only moves in straight lines, someone like Dawson would run rings around him, even Bute would befuddle him.
He still beats Bute though.
Kessler will KO Bute,trust me
I think Kessler is far underated. In terms of his skill and talent. Why is it hard for him to get big fights? Because nobody wants to fight him. Because the risk is more than the reward. You can't make alot of money by fighting Kessler, but you can get your ass beat:friday:

I wish that fight happens. I like Kessler to beat Bute by late T.K.O. For me the big question is who is going to have the home advantage, Bute seems to stay in Canada forever, and Kessler is not exactly a road warrior.
WHAT????????
Kessler
went to Australia to beat Mundine and this was his first title-defend and he went to Wales to fight Calzaghe and he went to Germany to beat Hussler and he had also fought i Las vegas once

With a bit more stamina Bute can do to Kessler what Joe Calzaghe did to him. He has all the tools to outbox Kessler if he wants to.
Strangely enough I was just thinking the exact opposite.

Yeah maybe not. Bute and Arreola are two guys that surprise me in that they have extensive amateur experience, but seem like they still need a lot of work. I was thinking the speed and stance would bother Kessler for a bit, forgetting that Mikkel is a pretty decent starter and was pretty competitive with Calzaghe for the first 4 rounds or so. If Bute thinks he can keep his hands low like that and rely on reflexes against Kessler's jab, he's going to be in for a surprise. Kessler KO, maybe a little earlier than originally thought.
Yeah, Arreola....I really like the guy, he's exciting to watch, isn't afraid to trade, and packs a decent wallop, but his skill is peaked. I don't think he'll get any better than he is. I firmly believe he'll get a shot at a title soon, but I believe just as firmly that he'll either lose the shot at it, or his first or second defense, get bumped back down the ranks, and become one of the better gatekeepers for the division. Nothing wrong with that, and it should keep him in the ring for several more years, but I honestly don't expect him to amount to much more than a likable and entertaining fighter that we don't have to pay $50 to see fight 4 times a year.
What if Bute beat Kessler easier than Kessler beat Andrade?
Then you'd better get a big ****ing coat, and dust off your bible, 'cause Hell has just frozen over, and Jesus Christ is coming to town.
Outbox Kessler? True, he did outbox Andrade, but then so has everybody else. Kessler fights from the outside, has very fast hands, exceptional skill and defense, and good to excellant power. Bute is probably slicker than Kessler, but his inside work is poor or non-existant, his power is nothing stellar, and he depends too much on mobility to stay out of trouble. If Andrade had been better at cutting off he ring and cornering Bute, I think he could've gotten his KO a litte earlier.
Don't get me wrong, Bute shows lots of promise, but much of what he has right now is speed and mobility. He needs to more fully develop himself before he takes on someone like Kessler.
I agree that Dirrell/Bute would be an excellant fight, though.

Bute is a very quick and unorthodox southpaw who smoked Andrade 10 of 12 rounds, but then got his a$$ knocked the fck out in the last 10 seconds, so I'm not sure how "easy" Andrade was. He'll likely outbox Kessler for 6 or 7 rounds before getting ktfo for real (not that the other wasn't) this time.
Bute/Andre Dirrell is a fight I wouldn't mind seeing.

lol bute aint outboxing shit.....he may be able to outflash-outwork kessler for a few rounds....that i see very possible because his style should be difficult for kessler on midrange(where the unorthodox awkward bute should feel more comfortable since he will be the one moving while kessler tries to make the fight.....ive never seen kesslers clinching game, so thats an advantage for the Romanian john ruiz..)but out box????????no way, kessler will be more effective every round and just wear bute down with precision shots.....

I dont think Bute will outbox him that bad, i think the firsr 3-4 rounds will be close then Kessler takes over and stops him , but we will see....I hope
