Mikkel Kessler injury?

[lyrical]

If it was an excuse he would put it out to the Danish media, dumbass. Kessler has said NOTHING about any injury. In fact he said he was completely injury free in a live interview last night.

It's a RUMOUR, and it's put out by an English website. Use your head a little.

Ok, we willl see what he says after the fight

Ok, we willl see what he says after the fight

Kessler denies it in the Danish press today, saying "where the hell do they come up with this? It's not true at all, and I'll be happy to bring a heavy bag to thursdays press conference and show them there's no truth to it."

Sound like a guy making excuses? He might hurt his hand IN the fight, so what he says after the fight has nothing to do with "getting his excuse in early."

Kessler is not expected to do any sparring before he climbs through the ropes at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium to take on Calzaghe.

The report in the Daily Mail further states that the Kessler Camp are playing down whispered reports of the injury
and, bone deep though the bruising is said that it will not jeopardize their fighter's appearance.

Over 50,000 are reportedly set to watch the show at the Stadium.

I am still rooting for Kessler.

I know he would have to save face and say he didnt, just so he would walk into that fight with pride.

How does that make it look legit? It's just a claim. Kessler denies it, says he'll go at the heavy bag in front of the media. Normally guys will play UP injuries, not down. If Kessler said his hand was injured, chances are Calzaghe might underestimate him. What in the world does he stand to gain from denying a hand injury, if he's actually got one? Makes absolutely no sense.

We norsemen will never let a man know our weaknesses.

We are there to win, not get trampled.

In all honesty I hope youre right.

Heres hoping Mikkel is fine.

To be fair if he is injured and he still fights he is going to earn alot of props whatever the outcome, ive lost count of the amount of times Calzaghe has pulled out of fights with injuries
