Comments Thread For: Mikkley Kessler's Boxing Future is Still Undecided

[LacedUp]

You know, I might do next time I get to Copenhagen. I would like to have a few words with you.

You're welcome any time.

Laced and Battling, did you see the interview where Kessler states that he overtrained? He was beating Groves in sparring but suddenly felt his stamina going from great to bad in a matter of days.

Yes, I did see that and Mikkel is probably the most honest guy in boxing. So I have no reason to believe other than what he's saying.

For reference, here it is:

Kessler.......always a classy fighter. Props to him for whatever he decides.

If he wishes to spend time with his child and retire I wish him well. If he wises to comeback and pursue a title I wish him well. Either way I hope he is dedicated to his choice.

Having him fight Abraham would be huge. I'm sure Western Europeans will go crazy for this fight and big money can be made for both fighters.

That will never happen. Stieglitz and Abraham fights on german channels that is free in Denmark which consequently prevents any PPV sale.

Yeah I saw that. I dont think he mentioned Groves though. I think he just said sparring.

If it is correct, then trainer Montoya must feel very bad about not giving Kessler the proper dose of training so he could peak at the correct time.

That's pretty shocking that a veteran of the sport with his experience would not know to pace himself properly in training camp.

Well, I guess as age progresses something else decreases.

WAR KESSLER. He could probably beat Froch in another fight. In their last one it was still close and Kessler could hurt him.

Hagler retired with a loss. I don't evaluate his abilities based on that last loss.

True, but it's a bit over the top comparing Kessler to Hagler.
