Comments Thread For: Eubank: I Entered WBSS To Take Groves' Belt, DeGale is Next!

How come nobody seems to remember that Abraham got stopped by Stieglitz in their second fight?

Last night's ITV commentators kept repeating the myth of the unstoppable Abraham as well.

I just realised, wasn't Kessler supposed to make a comeback nd participate in the tournament? What happened to that?

He opted out of joining. I think he realized 3 fights in 9 months for a guy out of the ring for as long as he was out isn't the smartest move.

Plus even with the money offered (supposedly career high paydays for all involved currently + 1M, 1.5M & 2M win bonuses for each win as you progress) isn't worth the trouble vs what he can probably get vs far less impressive opponents in a more reasonable time period.

Kessler could fight anybody back home and it'd be ppv. I doubt he fights again but if he does he'll make a fortune, as you say no need for WBSS.
