Palm wins Kessler-Andrade bid

[Shanus]

Andrade has no defense and he's pretty sloppy, Kessler should take him out before 10.

Kessler will defend his WBA/WBC Title against Andrade in Denmark



The winner of the purse bid for the mandatory defense of WBC/WBA super muddleweight champion Mikkel Kessler vs WBC mandatory challenger Librado Andrade was Palm Promotions from Denmark with a winning bid of USD $1,777,777, outbidding Palle Promotions $1,678,876 and Golden Boy Promotions $1,312,000. Palm Promotions is a new company headed by former European welterweight champion Hans Henrik Palm, who was formerly promoted by Palle chief Mogens Palle

I think it would have been better for Kessler's career if Golden Boy had won the bid. Assuming of course that he beats Andrade in high fashion, and that is by no means a certainty. It is going to be a tough fight for both of them, and a possible candidate for fight of the year. Andrade knows he isn't going to win a close decision in Denmark so you can expect him to come out swinging!

yeah, i think this could go either way, the only video i've seen of kessler is his destruction of beyer, and i don't know much about andrade except that he's a big puncher. someone is gonna get knocked out, but the question is who... i think down the road, allen green should fight one or both of them

Allen Greens last fight was baddass. Im just worried about his chin. Allen Green is a threat to anyone, but his chin isn't the best and against punchers, he's got to be very carefull and have a tight defence, but Allen Green can fight, imo, he improved a lot in his last fight.

This should be a good fight. I like both fighters, but I will go with Kessler by a Decision.

Hells, yes. He didn't want to face Kessler.

if green remembers to keep his hands up, he should be ok... if kessler was to get him in trouble, though, he wouldn't hesitate to finish him off

....yeah, too bad it won't get as much exposure. Isn't it amazing that Calzaghe can make more money and be seen by more fans by chosing an inferior opponent! As to whether that will lead to the big money fight stateside that Calzaghe craves is another matter. If Kessler KO's Andrade and Calzaghe KO's Mandredo, we might just see them square off in Las Vegas latter this year. Sadly, that is an unlikely scenario inasmuch as Kessler is up against a very tough opponent.

Great news. I too would have prefered him to fight in the US, but then again, i get to see it live.

I have ony seen one of Andrade's fights, and he looks powerful, but i'd still be in favour of Kessler by UD or late TKO.
I think this opponent is perhaps the best one available. In this case the mandetory-rule worked.

Well in case Kessler hasn't got what it takes to handle Andrade, the prospect of a Kessler-Calzaghe fight wouldn't be that interesting anyway. Andrade is gonna be a tough fight and it certainly carries a risk. But Kessler IMO has all the tools needed to deal with it.

Unfortunately the fight being in Denmark does nothing at all to make a Kessler-Calzaghe fight more likely. Kessler may be relieved that he'll have a home crowd to back him up in a tough fight. But i seriously think it's a bad move for his career that the fight is in Denmark.

Not good.
