Kessler: Took loss like a true professional

[Duke McKenzie]

I don't know what the HBO interview was like, but over in the UK Kessler showed what an absolute pro he is by being gracious and admitting the better man won.

A particular highlight was when they asked him about rumours of his damaged hands before the fight. Many other fighters would have confirmed unsubstantiated rumours as an excuse, but he categorically denied this.

A genuinely good sporting loser, I'll see if I can up the interview.

good grace is unfortunately a rare thing in this sport

I agree.. Kessler did take it like a man.

Kessler was impressive in and out of the ring last night. A TRUE champion. (Not to sound corny, even though it did)
