Kessler

[The Hammer]

I asked the Danes whether they could confirm this.

If you read my later posts you'll see that I've started to doubt whether it's true myself.

The reason I thought this could be true is because Perdomo is ranked number 1 by the WBA right now. It's not an impossible situation.

Why not make a thread about what Kessler actually said, instead of taking something a writer made up?

I thought we had a "cease-fire" anyway, I guess not.

Stop doing stuff like this thread - you always discredit the best European fighters (Vitali, Calzaghe, now Kessler). You and your friend Flawless both need to find a new focus in life.

Hopkins wants Calzaghe or RJJ
Winky too small
Pavlik needs to stay at 160 and clean that divison before thinking about moving up

So I guess you're starting to see the difficulties of getting Kessler the right opponent?

Mogens Palle after the fight:

"Now we can look forward, but we have to await the Calzaghe - Jones fight. I hope for a Calzaghe win, because if Jones wins, they for sure will make and other Hopkins - Jones fight. But if Calzaghe wins, there will be new interest in a Hopkins - Jones fight. Hopkins will go after Calzaghe, but he will not fight Hopkins again, and then Hopkins is without a fight. This could open up for a Hopkins - Kessler fight" stated the day after in Oldenburg by Mogens Palle to sporten dk (BT a danish newspaper)

Mogens Palle wants to make it clear, that there are more possibilities for a fight on US - television in the spring.

"We have more than one lucrative offer fore some televised fights in US but we awaits the November 8. fight, which can change everything". Palle don't want to explain further about these fights offer in US.

BoxingScene reports that Kessler's next title defense might be against Gusmyl Perdomo (15-2, 9 KO's).

Perdomo lost a decision to Dimitri Sartison who was dominated by Kessler in most of the rounds and stopped in the 12th.

Does anyone else think Kessler is wasting his career?

This is a joke of a fight in my opinion.

Maybe you should take that word into account before you start jumping to conclusions.

Hopkins vs. Kessler at 170 would be a great matchup!

Not for Kessler.

Maybe you should take that word into account before you start jumping to conclusions.

I didn't jump into conclusions, I asked people to confirm whether this was true or not:

Hopefully BatTheMan or another Danish poster can confirm this untrue...

I really don't see the point of this defense unless it's soon and only another tune-up for a bigger fight that is being negotiated.

Good to hear that it might not be true.

I'm hoping Kessler's next opponent will be someone from the top 10 of the super middleweight division.

Why not make a thread about what Kessler actually said, instead of taking something a writer made up?

He hadn't said anything when I made this thread.

There is no chance of Hopkins - Kessler happening but I'm interested in what other offers they've gotten.

You made a thread with a "thumbs down", claiming Kessler was probably going to fight a poorly known, probably mediocre opponent.

And your Euro-hating friend Flawless loved it!

He hadn't said anything when I made this thread.

Not true - in the post fight interview Kessler said he wanted to fight a high-profile American next, and Bat posted that here in NSB.

Yeah agreed,Kessler has now had two good wins since Calzaghe winning and defending his title so he is back on track and his cofindence is back and now should be tryin to get big fights,most of the super middlweights are tied with fights or have just fought-Bute/Andrade just fought,Taylor/Lacy boxing next month,Froch/Pascal, but there are better fighters that he could be fighting now who haven't got no fights coming up Bika,Allan Green,Inkin.He also he also pulled out of Miranda twice this year?

You made a thread with a "thumbs down", claiming Kessler was probably going to fight a poorly known, probably mediocre opponent.

I gave it a thumbs down because if this fight is truly happening then Kessler is wasting his talent.

Danish posters then confirmed that it might be untrue but some trolls kept this thread going.

Not true - in the post fight interview Kessler said he wanted to fight a high-profile American next, and Bat posted that here in NSB.

I didn't hear Kessler saying that. Maybe in another interview but Bat posted this after the fight:

Kessler: I had full control in this fight. I was much faster and my jab was working perfectly. I was very nervous as I had everything to lose. So I decided to come out fast. and fired three quick punches and he couldn't follow me.

I go abroad to fight and I feel like no.1. I'm the viking warrior. I will not talk about the future but just celebrate this win.
