    Well, the news are not good for Kessler, it seems he signed a ****ty contract full of future options for Palle and more. I hope it is not so, otherwise he is f****d.

    All I know is it is not a good idea to sit down and wait for any solution to come out of a legal suit, better to run the contract out then, while making some decent money and staying active, just look at Tua for example.

    Anyway, his situation is not as bad, he could fight Larsen now to stay active as Bhop, Calzague and Taylor are not interested in fighting him at the moment. Then, something might come up even if he is still tied up with Palle. Before he knows his contract is up and he is free to do whatever he wants.

      I found out about it on a much worse place than this..... Youtube

      If you think this place is bad go look at some of the boxing vids on there.

          I didnt know that euro fights was shown on network TV, but I never judge any posters as biased based on geography. On this there's some really knowledgeable people and I thought they downloaded or traded for the euro-stuff.

            You may not but a lot of posters do.

            I mean...are you serious? I've had people tell me Mario Veit is a good fighter..."you've just never seen him before!"

              C'mon Bat... surely you can't justify this fight after bashing a possible Taylor/Green matchup?

                Haha. Look: The circomstances are completely different. Taylor can pick and choose any fighter he wants. Kessler cannot as he is not nearly the draw Taylor is. In the end Kessler's options was a catchweight fight with Glenn Johnson for ½ million dollars gross or Larsen for 2 million dollars net (I think it's net that is).

                  I know Bat your a good poster but many people expressed that exact point of view.

                    Well now that Allan Green has no one, maybe he can fight Kessler.

                      which fight would mean more for his future?
