FFUUUCCKK!!! i wanted to see this fight

Thanks for the round by round buddy

i just realised (or remembered)...Steiglitz is the guy the IBF wanted Calzaghe to fight!

What a joke that would have been...Joe did the right thing.

So what makes you think Manfredo is any better/any less of a joke?

And Stieglitz was the dominant fighter untill the first KD. Not like he looked like complete garbage throughout the fight.

Don't try and make it sound better for Stieglitz: He was crushed by a fighter who'd lose to every top 10 fighter in the division.

No doubt the IBF champ will get an offer from Kessler, he allways claims it's his top goal to unify the tittles, but i would be amazed if whoever wins would be ready for a unification fight so soon. That would demand some big balls.

"We expect Alejandro to make his first defence in May or June" said Wilfried Sauerland. "We have Danilo Haussler, Mads Larsen, Markus Beyer or Vitaly Tsypko but Haussler will get the question first and then we will see. We are open for all possibilities." "If Team Palle wants to do a unification fight with Kessler we are open for offers" said matchmaker Hagen Doering.

This is interesting - Berrio seems to be a very weak champ and I imagine, that Team Palle would be very interested in the third belt for Kessler.
