Comments Thread For: Kessler vs Stieglitz is The Next Fight Coming For Mikkel?

[gigogreco]

¿Never going to fight a good opponent?...Bute's last 8 fights have been all for a world title(IBF) & he's won 7 by KO & 1 UD..Among those he's fought are very good fighters like Edison Miranda, Sakio Bika & Librado Andrade(who he fought twice & has been the ONLY fighter(so far) to KO Andrade, that's something that Kessler couldn't do) & his next fight is against the #1 contender Jean Paul Mendy who's also undefeated.. ¿& unfair that he could face the winner of the super 6 straight of the bat? The winner of the Super Six will end up with 2(WBA & WBC) of the 4 major titles at 168lbs & the other 2 champs are Stieglitz(WBO) & Bute(IBF)..So out of Stieglitz & Bute, Being that Bute is undefeated & is the better known fighter & beat Andrade twice(Andrade KO'd Stieglitz before Stieglitz won the title) is the one that deserves & has earned the shot at the winner of the Super Six tournament & chance to unify the titles..& besides all that, Bute is a good fighter with good skills..

if you are trying to defend bute, you are doing a really poor job.

I actually think bute is a really good fighter, but if you want to "defend" him, i would really not use his resume to do so.

It would be a reasonable opponent for kessler, first a - on paper - easy opponent in boudla. Then short time after, a step up in class and get the ringrust shaken of. Followed by another step up in class.

Not one of those fights was a 50/50 and he was a prohibitive favorite in each.

I don't think it is fair. What it is like is a sports team playing in a grand final while only playing weaker teams than themselves, and their opponent facing Killers all the way.

Unfair? Because Kessler runs away from him? Wow, what a genius you are.

I am no bute fan but i do think that kesslers career is coming to an end
