This is an interesting fight on paper , but pavlik is faster I don't see what mikkel could do to win. A) he could try to wear him down and avoid getting hit with too many bombs but that would require jc like skills
B)he could try for the ko but pav has iron chin so he would be at higher risk for ko while trying a ko. Pavlik will land bombs and even mike tyson would collapse from enough pavkick bombs

You think Pavlik is faster? You need to watch both these guys again and look a little closer. I'm not trying to be a smartass or anything, but Kessler clearly has the better handspeed and it's quite evident when watching the two fighters.

pavlik is not faster than kessler.

If Joe Calzaghe is not willing to fight WBC/WBO middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik and instead take a November fight with Roy Jones Jr, Mikkel Kessler is ready and willing to meet Pavlik in the fall. [details]

Pavlik vs. Kessler sounds good.

[-Antonio-]

I really want to see Taylor vs. Kessler.

What the hell does Kessler offer Pavlik right now compared to the business in his own division (abraham, Wright, possibly Sturm) or even Calzaghe who is atleast a bigger draw. Kessler's management completely botches their attempts thus far at making a fight with anyone and then they decide their gonna callout Pavlik? What a joke.

Come on man thats not the case...Mogens And Bettina Palle who manage Kessler need to let him go...they are doing a terrible job with him...Manny Steward or someone like that would turn Kessler into a monster.
Kessler isint "calling" anybody out bro...if Pav wants to fight him they would have to come to some kind of arrangement over weight...and both are great sportsman and conduct themselves well and dont lower themselves to Vargas like lows to talk up a fight. If Kessler was with an American promoter/trainer I have no doubts whatsoever that Kessler would be a huge star in the states right now...even if there were a few losses against his record.
But you are right this Sartision fight is a joke he should be right back on the bandwagon fighting a real contender...maybe he is testing out his hands with this guy??? seeing how they go.

I'm just saying its silly for him to think he should call out pavlik. Pavlik will fight calzaghe b/c he's undefeated and considered to be the man to beat and b/c he's about to retire and he won't have the opportunity in years to come. Kessler isn't well known in the states and he's not a MW.. If Kessler is as good as he says he should beat up some SMWs and get back on top. Cal will be gone soon and he can be king if its really in his abilities which it very well may be.

For some reason, something inside me says Kelly takes this, and Kessler buckles under Kelly's power shots. I know Kessler hits hard, but I just have a feeling that Kelly would overwhelm him with his powerful shots, like Joe did with his workrate.

I agree. His all around skills and that power might be too much for kessler. Kessler is just too easy to hit.
