That is so ****ing ill. So happy to hear that, I really think Kessler is the goods. Can't wait to see if I'm right.

Amazing tournament and amazing woman^.

Look for Froch to go 3-0 and then make devastating work of the two finalists.

this is going to be amazing!
So happy that Kessler's promotional problems have been sorted out.

This is the kind of thing boxing has needed for years, for each fight they should try do a mini 24/7 build it up even more.

The super middle weight division has bored the **** out of me because the best fighters haven't been fighting each other (besides recently Taylor/Froch).

This tournament is the best thing to happen to the division in a long time and I'll watch every single one of these fights.

As much as I've clowned Kessler in recent years I'm really happy to hear this. He is still a relatively young champion and is now poised to carve out his own legacy. I suspect that he's very, very hungry. One tune-up is all he needs; I'm very excited to see him paired against the rest of the division's best.

Can't wait for this tournament!

This tournament is going to be SO epic. I'm talkin' like 'Beowulf' epic.

[S.G.]

this tournament is going to be amazing. if nothing else happens we'll still have a great 2010.

hopefully it might set a precedent too
