I'm going to try catch a stream of this. Unless Stieglitz gets ko'd or properly dominated he'll get the decision. An undefeated German losing in Germany in a close fight isn't gonna happen.
But more interestingly, what will happen next?
Seeing as the IBF are probably the strictest of the organisations in terms of making their champions fight mandatories, could this be the quickest route for Lucian Bute or Carl Froch to get a title shot? Or will they give the nod to Jeff Lacy to try reclaim his title?
Either way, with Stieglitz the probable winner, it looks like anyone wanting the title will have to go to Germany.Comment

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.Comment
