Bute vs. Mendy KO-VID here.

[-Kev-]

Kessler's next opponent, Stieglitz, is a better opponent than Brinkley, Magee, and Mendy.

patience, it is inevitable. He will likely face the winner of Froch v Ward imo.

Super Six is over. Time to fight somebody good now. No more excuses. Bute's first run of defenses make Calzaghe's look historical in comparison.

very true, but Kessler preferred to face Stieglitz instead of Bute

Even though Mendy is not the greatest opponent that was a beautiful KO

Exactly.

With the prospect of facing Bute in a huge fight right there in front of his nose Kessler went out of his way to pay off the WBO for a ranking he hadn't done anything to earn so that he could fight a lesser opponent.

He has no desire to earn a shot at the Super 6 winner and instead is hoping to fight a couple bums and have the opportunity dropped into his lap instead of Bute's.

Kessler should just admit he has no desire to further his legacy and only came back to the sport because he knows his Danish fans will pay him good money to watch him fight bums in mismatch fights.
