Kessler: "No training camp - no problem!"

[Dan...]

Yes. I simply do not understand why Kessler seemingly cannot get motivated for this fight. Several reason ought to get him on his toes:

1: Prospect of future big-money fights.
2: It's in his opponents backyard.
3: The need to impress to achieve reason 1.

To be honest I wouldn't go readin too much into this. I am sure Mikkel knows what he is doing. He always seems in great shape. This guy will be another hopeless bum, I'm sure Kessler can win very impressively even with limited preparation. He claims to already be in excellent shape, so I'm sure it will be fine. Nothing to worry about right now I don't think.

This is bull****, I don't believe he has said this.

I meet him once a week, always at night when he is done training. He's training very hard, and has always lived by the "Prepare-fully-no-matter-what" concept.
I find this article made up imagination.

I dissagree I dont think it kesslers fault u gotta understand that its his managements fault not his,his job is to train and fight not set stuff like trainers and camps up.As a fighter you pay your bills by fighting so you gotta fight when they tell you to fight regardless of the condition unless you have already acheived what you want financialy and mentaly and your in the position to say im not fighting like a mayweather or Kalslappy.Its not so easy

Assuming Kessler wins this one, I'm going to watch for his next opponent with great interest, basically if he does not make a big effort to meet one of Bute, Froch, Miranda, Lacy or someone even better then I am going to be forced to conclude that either the loss to Joe affected him badly or that he and his management team do not rate him as highly as many of us do.

Haussler is prepping like a man possesed. Of course he's gonna need it if he wants to go the distance but Haussler is a tough cookie who can and does take a lot of punishment. Haussler could sense that this is his chance to shine so I would expect this proffesional german to gain further motivation from this news.

Muahahahaha....... Did you read the opening post at all???? It was in an interview in front of cameras. Bull****? Well Kessler said it so it's no spin on my part.

If Kessler wanted he could have a camp in the US by waiving his hand. In that regard Kessler can call all the shots.

You meet Kessler once a week? You should ask him about it and tell us what he says.

If he wins he will keep looking for the big names. Only problem so far has been that they won't look his way.

One of these stay-at-home protected yanks had better fight him soon, goddamnit! I have Calzaghe's resume to think about!
