Mikkel Kessler set for retirement

[BattlingNelson]

What TV rights?

Sauerland has a contract with ARD until the end of the year. ARD is free in Denmark so it is impossible to get PPV money.

So nope. Highly unlikely.

I knew it would be Abraham

Based on what I've seen in the Stevens and Adama fights I think Kessler knocks Golovkin out. GGG gets hit too much to be taking flush punches from 168lbers he should stay at 160 imo, he's not a particularly big MW. Also, I don't think Team Golovkin takes the fight.

Keep dreaming. This isn't 2007-2010 bro. No way.

GGG has never been hurt or knocked down.

Neither has Kessler, aside from a single flash knockdown?

Also, GGG has never faced anyone with the size, skills or punching power as Kessler.

We shall see.

That's just what I'm hearing.

But I prefer a GGG or Froch rematch for sure. Or Ward in Copenhagen.
Are you coming to the fight if it's in Copenhagen?

Update:

I've just heard from a friend who's a sports broadcaster for one of the biggest tv stations in Denmark that they are expecting to announce that Arthur Abraham will most likely be the next opponent for Kessler.

I'm all down for that, sign me up.

Better late than never!!!!!!!

Possibly. I'm not particularly keen on watching in Parken though. I'm hoping for Herning even though that venue might be to small (11K), but the athmosphere there is exceptional.

I bet you're going?

I think you are right, speaking about a prime Kessler that is.

He's just not that fighter anymore.

That said, it wouldn't be a wipeout and I would love to see it happen.

I just don't want to see Kessler get abused, which I think would happen later in the fight.

If it is AA, then I can only see it as a possibility if TV2 buys out Viasat for silly money, and shows the fight for free on public service.

Not impossible. Just highly unlikely.
