Seriously, Kessler better pull through with a better opponent!
I know this forum is on Kessler's nuts but Lawd forgive it would have been a different fighter who backed out like this such as Mayweather backing out of Cotto or the other way around we wouldn't hear the end of it! He wanted a ten rounder instead of twelve they said ok, they gave him the money he asked for in Euros, along with everything else and he still pulled out.
I understand Kessler deserves to have a tune up after a loss, and if he decides to take that then it's fine but if after that he doesn't fight a better opponent then Miranda then IMO it was a clear duck and it's because he isn't willing to risk two L's in a row. Kessler has been put on notice.
Oh and for those who say Miranda is nothing to fear.. A non-weight drained Miranda is a very tough fight for anybody. He makes a fight a fight and even if you win you can guarantee you will walk out of there pretty ****** up.
If he was a walk in the park then Kessler would have quickly took the deal, did what he had to do and moved on to the next guy.
