If Kessler must remain at the top in boxing, he must learn a little more dirty tricks.


Says his trainer, Ricard Olsen, after Kessler lost the World Cup and the Super Six match to Andre Ward. American's style was a mixture of good boxing, elbows and headbutts, and it Kessler had difficulty to handle it.

- Mikkel is a fine boxer. He uses no tricks, but it must be done if he wants to be in this game. It is pointless to be mother's good boy, professional boxing is hard, and he must be much more fierce and dirty in his boxing, "says Ricard Olsen Ritzau.

He acknowledges that Ward was the night's best man, but angry over match, which ended with an eye injury in the 11th game. Especially as Kessler did not listen enough to his coaching.

- He could have just listened to what I said. I think it not true that he did. I asked him to beat some more and a little counter-punching. He did too, but he used only one hand, and it was a little annoying. But there was nothing to do, Ward was better, "says Ricard Olsen.
