    Kessler fight unlikely on HBO.

    Mogens Palle today stated that Mikkel Kesslers come-back fight is unlikely to be shown on HBO. "Showtime is at the same time showing the Miranda-Abraham rematch, so it's doubtful HBO will televise."

    This must mean that Kessler will not fight a big american name like Taylor or Lacy.

    The field is narrowing down. Maybe Haussler, Mundine (unlikely), Larsen or perhaps OTTKE who's searching for a new opponent after the Michalschewski fight fell trough.

        I'm STILL hoping for an American opponent. If he defeats a European he'll get no credit, even if he's a world-class fighter...

        Why not Winky Wright? He's desperate for a fight now.

          Winky doesn't want to fight above 160. Also I agree with those who say that Kessler's management hasn't done him any favors. They've really made him look like an *******.

            I doubt that. Wright has turned Kessler down before, and a Wright fight would be a must for US-tv. On the other hand it's nearly a year since Wright fought Hopkins.

                I agree. If the Palles however, comes up with something big it's all forgotten. Palle also stated today that this fight has taken all year to materialize and that it has worn him down. I don't know how to interpret this.
