Comments Thread For: Mikkel Kessler Now The Mandatory To Robert Stieglitz

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Mikkel Kessler, through his promoter, Sauerland Event, made a request to the WBO Championship Committee to get appointed as the mandatory challenger, and to hold the #1 position in the rankings at super middleweight, as per his outstanding victory over #6 and former WBO Inter-Continental champion Mehdi Bouadla (22-4) on June 4, 2011. The WBO approved Kessler's request, making him the mandatory challenger to champion Robert Stieglitz. [Click Here To Read More]

Good to see a sanctioning organization do the right thing.

Mandatory? Does that even have meaning in todays messed up world of titles and paper champions

Bute fight officially out the window

what does Bute have to do to get these guys in the ring ?

[Hitman932]

I told everyone months ago, Kessler wants no part of Bute.

They could have easily fought Bute but instead decided to put pressure on the WBO to make this distinction to excuse their ducking of Bute.

beat Steiglitz then rematch Froch after he fights Ward
sounds good enough
maybe Hopkins will still try to fight Bute
if this happens, glad Kessler takes Steiglitz instead

[S H A R K B O Y]

Kessler's going to walk through Steiglitz, where's the fast forward button so we can watch him fight Bute.

[Pinoy4ever]

Yup Kessler is going to stomp on his this guy's face period.

[Scary]

I'm glad Kessler doesn't throw himself in with Bute already. He's been out for a long time, and even though he was very impressive last time, I'd like for him to become champion before fighting Bute.
