Thread: Kessler vs. Sartison - Kessler by KO in the 12th

After five rounds Kessler is ahead by 5 points imo - 3 clear rounds and 2 close - in the 1th round Kessler was hard hit by a short effective right hook by the german that slowed Kessler down for some seconds. The german has a very good right hook.

It is not the last we hear from this german boxer even he may lose tonight.

I think that the german might have won the 7th round - he was accurate and Kessler was very inactive?......

Kessler is winning the 8th round but he has slowed down very much - it looks like the german terrier is getting back into the fight.

Now in the 9th Kessler is in total control again - the german looks very tired and has no response to Kessler's jab and straight right

Sartison is down in the 11th round but he is up again - what a heart....he has.

Kessler stops Sartison in the 12th - good fight for Kessler but I feel a little sorry for the german - he fought like a terrier and had both skills and heart

Kess has completely dominated him the whole fight.
I like what I see from Kess and I also like the fight going the distance rather then just getting a quick TKO.

job well done Kess.

What a finish by Kess...
Like I said I liked that the fight went the distance.

Kess had a live one in there tonight and Sartison showed a lot of heart in there.

Really proud of my boy Kess and it's great to see him back.
Who's next?

Well done Kess and thanks guys for the write up

Aint seen it yet . Hopefully it'll be on youtube 2mora . Knew Kess would win and its just a matter of time until he gets his titles back .

No, I didn't see it on that NBA.live site...
I saw through another site.

Wow Kessler is now the International House of Pancakes "regular" champion. He has really proven something today. Unlike that cowardly Arthur Abraham who is in Florida fighting some jobber from colombia.

Come on lance..

No ones claiming Kess is the greatest.
It's just a comeback fight for him. It was good to see him fight and get his feet wet again.

I'm a huge Kess fan and even I was disappointed that he didn't fight Miranda but after all it's his life in that ring not mine or yours.

You don't have to like him, and you could be against what he did.
But prior to that he took on all comers and anyone who challenged him.
He got Joe in the ring with him and that speaks volumes.

I'm sure the Kess of old will be back. Watch...

I really do not get all this MIRANDA hype - what has he done so far? Never beat a world-class opponent but has been beaten both times he fought one. It reminds me very much of the Jeff LacyMania, which most of this boards members went on.

If Sartison fought Pantera in the States I would back Edison by 55-45 but Sartison by 65-35 if they fought in Europe.

Miranda would imo not last 11 rounds with Kessler and is not near to have the same boxing skills as Sartison - but he has more power but a much weaker chin.

- something Miranda can only dream about :-D

So Sartison put up a brave effort ?!?Did his stock rise after his performance ?!?

Well JohnnyBoy,
My answer is yes & no.

Yes, to those who were lucky enough to see it being that it wasn't televised internationally. He fought valiently tho I think he was out of his natural weight class. But this performance clearly shows he's got heart.

No, because the fight wasn't televised internationally and I think the amount of people who saw it was limited.

He has very good boxing skills and even better heart - but compared to Kessler his frame is too small for SMW. I would like to watch him in MW against EU-level fighters as Amin Asikainen and Sylvester - and if he manages that he could once more try to step it up against world-level opponents.

Thanks Mick...too bad for Sartison...probably fighting the fight of his life,loosing it and not getting much recognition for his effort...
