Thread: Kessler against Froch on 28 feb 2009(perhaps)

Oversat udgave af http://ekstrabladet.dk/sport/anden_sport/boksning/article1098423.ece

Hard to read,but it would be a good fight

If Kessler doesn't punk out like he did against Miranda, I think he destroys Fraud.

i think Froch is gonna fight taylor. but im not upset with Kessler for FINALLY takin a real match than another mandatory. but he wins this one buy wide UD IMO. i much rather seen him fight taylor or Bika.

What? Kessler already has wins over Mundine (who he beat in Australia), Andrade and Marcus Beyer, plus he travelled to Wales to fight Joe Calzaghe.

What other fighter at 168 has a more impressive resume than that?

And what other top fighter in the world outside the heavyweights and Philippino's has twice fought big world title fights away from home in their prime?

jermain taylor.

If this fight happens, it will be defining in both fighters careers. I think it will be a very tough fight for both men and both will be willing to trade bombs in a very exciting fight. I think its a real 50-50 fight IMO, Kessler looked good in his last fight and Carl impressed me against Pascal. I think this could be fight of the year !

He is rated #1 at SMW for a a reason (He handidly beat Mundine and Andrade, and gave Calzaghe a good fight for 5 rounds), but the point is that Kessler's last two fights have been against soft competition.

If Froch fights Taylor, which is likely, who will Kessler fight? I thought Calzaghe may have provoked a fight between Hopkins and Kessler.

Well that depends how you class a 'big' fight but to name a few..

Ricky Hatton (Collazo, Castillo, Mayweather, Malignaggi)

Naseem Hamed (Cant think of any at this moment in time but he has..)

Big Joe Calzaghe (Albeit they were his last two fights and against well past it fighters)

Infact when I think back boxers from the UK are probably the only people who are prepared to leave their country alot..

For the last time.Kessler did not duck Miranda

Kessler was in negotiations for a fight with Miranda. He was then made mandatory challanger for the WBA title against Mundine, so broke off negotiations to pursue that fight.

People are free to make their own judgements about that decision. Some feel that beating Miranda would have been good for Kessler's image in the USA, others that the title belt gives him leverage in securing the fights he wants.

Mundine, rather than taking another beatdown from Kessler, said he was going to MW and vacated his title. The title shot was then offered to Edison Miranda. Miranda, by this point, was negotiating with Abraham and chose to turn down the Kessler fight and stay with the Abraham one.

The fact that Mogens Palle went to the extent of asking the WBA to move Miranda up in their rankings to allow him to fight for the title (as Miranda had never beaten a top 50 SMW) should prove to all but the most delusional that Kessler had no interest in avoiding Miranda

Kessler cleary ducked Miranda. He made an offer (which consisted of a laundry list of Diva like demands), Miranda accepted and Showtime signed on to license the fight.

After everything was agreed to, Kessler turned yellow, refused to return Showtimes calls, and began pursuing meaningless fights against bums for the so called WBA "regular" title.

All the paper titles in the world do not justify Kessler's wussing out of his agreed to fight against Miranda.

Kessler's been a complete bitch since getting destroyed by Joe C. and you can bet he will come up with some excuse for why he cant fight Froch.

Maybe the WBA will offer him a chance to fight for the WBA "extreme interim" title against Hobo Pete.

All you need to do is watch the opening moments of Miranda-Abraham 2. ShowTime themselves said Kessler biitched out. ShowTime has no stake in either fighter. They have no reason to lie. I believe them over anything you or Morgens Palle (LOL) have to say.

and you believe Miranda and ShowTime more,you are a moron,Kessler is not afraid of no-one,Miranda is just a overratted US bum

Froch should stay well away from kessler.

he has no chance imo.

If the fight happens Kessler by tko.
