jermain taylor vs michelle kessler

[Dirk Diggler UK]

I know this wasn't directed toward me, but since I think you and I have been through this before, very recently, I'm going to remind you...

It's called a tune up. It's what fighters do when coming off losses or preparing for bigger fights.

Yes exactly and as Ive told you, I have little problem with that. Annoying but understandable in my view.

I take people to task when they criticise Kessler for doing the same yet say nothing about Taylor.

When in fact Kessler picked up a belt against an undefeated fighter - something Taylor couldve done with Froch.

And when Kessler is being forced into the Haussler fight whereas Taylor is choosing to take Lacy.

I put has because he can do a lot of things. But the WBA belt is obviously very important to him.

What could he have done?

Kessler could have easily chosen NOT to chase after the WBA belt and had a career-boosting fight with Edison Miranda, but no, instead he goes after the easier (on paper) fight with Sartison for a paper alphabet title that is "forcing" him to fight even ****tier mandatories.

So please stop acting like Kessler hasn't chosen his path. If he doesn't want to fight Haussler, he should ****ing vacate.

The million other things he could have done that fighters have done when they don't want to fight their mandatory? Do I have to spell that out for you?

But really, that's not the point. The point is, his opponent is GARBAGE. Whether you wanna overlook that or not or say he HAS to.

What could he have done?

Easy. Vacate. Go after bigger fights. Froch called him out - said he would KO him in fact - why not fight him? Would be better than either Sartison or Haussler.

Exactly. He would've comprehensivly beat Miranda too and it would lead to bigger fights down the line but he ****ed up.

This must be a joke, fighting Froch wouldn't be better. Froch is hardly known and is called a bum.

No, he's not allowed to do that.

Exactly. Which is something Taylor can accomplish by beating Jeff Lacy (comparable name to Miranda), but Dirk can't see past **** belts and mandatory bum fights and instead wants to criticize Taylor for making what is probably the better career move.

Exactly! Like my boy Mundine did when he told the WBA to **** off. Parody of the real Ultimateboxa
