Sauerland inks Kessler! | Fightnews - Boxing News Updated 24/7
Hopefully this means he starts getting involved in the 168 pictrure, but suprised none of the American promoters didnt try to get him.
Excellent news, Sauerland are making an active effort to get involved in the scene in the US & I reckon Kessler gets a big fight soon
He certainly need to get a big fight soon, the 168 division was his for the taking after Calzaghe retired. Kess has slipped back into obscurity, I'm sure it's because of Palle, but regardless it has happened.Quote:

Great news ;D;D
finally, this makes the 168 division alot more exciting now, kesslers a good operator
Hopefully the rumours about an sm tournament are true and they can now get going. Just looking forward to see him fight anyone.
Well this is one big hurdle that has been overcome for that SMW tournament. Hopefully everything else falls into place!
This is good news for him, its about damn time. I'm lookin forward to seein him back in action, although he did get schooled by Calzaghe after the halfway mark of their fight so I still don't see him being all that.
Isn't Kessler matched up with Dirrell in his first bout in the tournament? That should be interesting.
Great news!
It's a shame it took this long.
i think kessler cleans up to be honest

People say he got schooled by cal after the halfway mark in their fight, be that as it may calzaghe was special. Kessler on form I think takes anyone in the 168 division. Not that andrade is a great fighter or anything, but he's good right there close to the top of 168 and kessler completely dominated him over 12 rounds. Hopefully he gets right in the mix...

I hope Kessler has less ring-rust than I have otherwise it will be :gayfight2: fight in germany.
Congreats to Kessler but hope this will mark the end of bumfights, but I have my doubt, but if the showtime turnament is 4 real I clap my little fat flippers
Looking at this on the flipside, is this any better news than when he was with Palle??
Look at Abraham he seems to be the king on facing mandatroy bums at the moment, something Kessler has started to do.
thats true:(Quote:

it was the first time he was seriously challenge in a fight and he responded pretty well. Even though he was discouraged he kept firing back punches and won the 12th round.
SMW is getting warmer and warmer, some great matchs up to be made
It seems like Kessler signed with Sauerland to be involved with the SMW contest, which has now been officially announced. Press conference at MSG this Monday with all fighters/promoters present:
