Ugh, that's so far away. Seems unecessarily far away.

Yeah. A bad break (pun intended).

Kessler was just on danish television. He said that it'll still be 2 months before he can use his hand again.

The winner of this fight is the best 168 pounder around.

This might be an advantage for Stieglitz as he can still be preparing while Kessler's recuperating.

Jesus, what kind of break could this be? Never heard of a hand needing two months before it could be used.

I believe it's closer to 3 months actually since the surgery happened a while ago. I know a metal plate was inserted, and since the fingers are exposed to a lot of tear from bag work that might explain it.

There was footage of him working on the heavy bag with only his left. It looked clearly staged as he looked ackward as hell.

On the other hand he must take care not to overtrain.

It might be 2 rusty fighters that get into the ring come April. Stieglitz hasn't fought in a long time either.

Stieglitz should take a tune up against a Euro bum. He can look in Arthur Abraham's closet.
