Kessler is gonna fight in the US on March 14.

[ßringer]

Kessler fought his last fight in Germany.

He fought Calzaghe, in Wales and Mundine in Australia.

Don't even bother replying to my posts, you have me on ignore and just gave me red K like a whiney little ****.

Look at Kessler's boxrec if you have to, it's 85% Denmark venues.

I have no objection to Kessler/Bika.

According to danish newspaper BT Kessler will fight in the US on March 14.
possible opponents listed are: Bika, Andre Dirrell, Allan Green and Andre Ward.

WTF took his dumbass so long

[BattlingNelson]

UK? Kessler doesn't fight out of the UK sir.

If he fights anyone from that list, i'm happy. It's a step from the poor opponents he's been fed since the Calzaghe loss.

Bika or Dirrell would be the best choices, hopefully setting up a Unification fight later in 09.

I find it hard to say that any of those mentioned are better than Sartison and Haussler. The 2 André's mentioned are way inexperienced. Bika is Kessler's former sparringpartner who said that Kessler is in a league of his own, while Green's claim to fame is a decision loss to crude Edison Miranda.

This is not a step up at all rather a way to market Kessler in the US. It appears that team Kessler has failed to get Hopkins and now resorts to another route towards a big fight. That route would appear to have at least a couple of PR-fights in the US.

Stay in the U.K. Mikkel, we don't want you to bring your circus act over here.

Wtf does that even mean?

I have been the first to question Mikkel's recent opponents but there is no way he is a protected fighter or a "circus act" as you say. The man is the real deal 100%. He has shown that he is willing to go overseas into his opponents back yards to get big fights (Mundine and Calzaghe).

I would love to see Kessler go over to the States and face some higher quality guys. It would be great both for his own career and the US public who would get to see the best of an elite fighter.

Circus act, GTFOH.

He's Danish.

You know that right?

Great news!

Kessler easily beats all of those guys

Bika is probably the toughest opponent, Kessler would win a UD. Dirrell, Green and Ward are all soft americans, they would all get KO'd by Kessler.

Circus act, GTFOH.

The guy is pushing 30 with a career record of 41-1, with the biggest fight on his record being a loss to Joe Calzaghe, and the biggest win of his career being over Librado "hit me, I'm open!" Andrade. Not to mention the fact that he's done fuck all since losing to Calzaghe last November.

That makes a circus act in my eyes.

I wish him luck in the future, but as of now, he's just another Super Middleweight with an overblown record in my eyes.

He's Danish.

You know that right?

Yeah, no ****. Why fight the majority of your fights in your own backyard? That's like Floyd fighting his whole career in Michigan.

I would prefer him to fight Bute but I have no objection to him facing Bika.

Labelling a fighter a circuis act is ridiculously harsh. That kind of **** should be reserved for the likes of Mundine and Ottke. Kessler is no circuis act. As I said his competition since the Calzaghe loss has been very disappointing but in no way is he circuis act material. He came within one fight of totally cleaning up 168.

Also, Floyd has fought all his career in the States right? Perhaps Mikkel has fought the majority of his fights in Denmark because it is where he makes the most money? When there are fights that make him more (Calzaghe in Britain and Mundine in Australia) he leaves Denmark. I understand that he needs to venture to the US to try and build up his name but it is hardly like he is just staying in Demark purely because he cannot be effective elsewhere. He is no Ottke.
