Comments Thread For: Kessler vs Stieglitz Agreement is Close, Says The WBO

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The WBO has advised several outlets that a deal is very close for a super middleweight collision between their champion Robert Stieglitz (40-2, 23KOs) of Germany, and the former king of the WBA/WBC, Mikkel Kessler (44-2, 33KOs) of Denmark. As previously reported, Kessler petitioned the WBO for a mandatory ranking. The sanctioning body granted his request and placed him in position to face Stieglitz for the title.

It's his second back, this is hardly big, and unless Kessler's shot, he wins easy. Stieg's got a belt, which is why it's good business. He's not really even one of the top 5 fighters at 68 nor will he win more than a round or two, so the match is mediocre.

It's a nice way to kill time and get Kessler a hollow stat belt until he's ready for real ish again (unless there really is concern about the eye and they are just being super cautious).

Stieglitz is a very solid all around fighter even if not great in any area, I think Kess should be favored but I doubt its going to be easy for him.

If it gets signed I will take bets on Stieglitz so just you or anyone PM me if interested.

Easy is relative. This will be about slightly tougher than Sartison. Stiegltiz is a solid B fighter in the right place at the right time for one of the sports MANY belts.

hoping the fight will happen...................;,;,;,AND NEW WBO SUPERMIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD MIKKEL KESSLER!!!

[Fairweather]

He'll finally get that 168lb WBO belt out of the oblivion it's been in since Joe Calzaghe vacated it.

Inkin to Balzsay to Stieglitz. Next hopefully Kessler and maybe all the belts could be unified.

There goes DeGale's plan trying be mandatory so he can get a belt easy from Stieglitz lol.
