The weights are in for Sauerland Event's huge show, Nordic Fight Night at Jyske Bank BOXEN in Herning, Denmark. In the main event, Mikkel Kessler (45-2, 34 KOs) will challenge WBA "regular" super middleweight champion Brian Magee (36-4-1, 25 KOs). Kessler will aim to stop the knockout streak that Magee currently has over Danish fighters. Kessler weighed in at 167.7-pounds, while the champion was a bit heavier at 167.9.

Froch finished Kessler. He hasnt had the confidence to take a big fight since Froch.

Kessler will destroy this guy.

Kessler will destroy this guy.

He better, Lucian Bute already did. It won't be a good look for Kessler if he has a hard time.

Kessler will destroy this guy.

I wouldn't be surprised if Kessler has some issues with Magee. Magee has some decent foot speed, and lateral movement.

He's a much better boxer than given credit for. He can punch too.

But Kessler should sort everything out, and around the 5th take over with superior jab, and power.

Really wouldn't be surprised if Magee makes it close fight, and lasts 12, though.

Actually, Kessler was trying his damnedest to get a fight with Tavoris Cloud @ light heavy before he took the Green fight.

Cloud *****ed out, though - he said that he was "obligated" to fight his mandatory, Karo Murat. . . Conveniently, however, a few months later he was able to negotiate a fight with Jean Pascal, which onyl fell through last minute due to Pascal. . . There are articles on boxingscene that show how Cloud ducked Kessler with a lie - a lie that was exposed when he signed to fight Pascal a few months later.

PWNED. . . Know your facts before opening thy ballwasher.

Moreover, Kessler was ready to fight Froch/Bute winner, and he wanted Andre Ward. . . But Ward refused to fight Kessler in Denmark. . Despite the fact that Kessler fought him in his backyard - Ward doesn't believe in fair deals, or square deals.

Kessler looking fit and confident as he should be. Hope Magee can make a fight of it. He usually does although he is looking a bit aged. War Kessler!

PWNED. . . Know your facts before opening thy ballwasher.

Is that also why he is fighting Magee? Because Cloud backed out again? LOL.
