Mikkel Kessler vs. Brian Magee James DeGale V Fulgencio Zuniga

This should be an entertaining fight, I'm looking forward to it. I like both fighters.

What are your thoughts about this one? Does Magee have a real chance for an upset win?

Kessler stops him, Magee is a fine boxer but has not got a very good chin, in World class it's a major
drawback. Brian is a fighter worth watching,but Mikkel will be to much for him and I can't see Magee
pulling off a upset.

Brian Magee (36-4-1, 25 KOs) has arrived in Denmark. The WBA super-middleweight “regular” world champion and his team flew into Copenhagen Airport from Dublin on Sunday afternoon and continued their trip to Herning by car. “I am happy to be back in Denmark,” Magee said. “I have great memories and I love fighting here. I have knocked out Mads Larsen and Rudy Markussen, so Kessler is the next in line. We had a great preparation in Belfast and will now go to Herning to use the last couple of days to get ready for the big fight. I look forward to facing Kessler, he is one of the all-time greats, I have a lot of respect for him but in the ring we will hate each other and I will defend my title.” Magee and Kessler clash at Jyske Bank BOXEN, Denmark´s biggest indoor arena, on December 8.

yeah i cant see any other result than a Kessler KO win

I like magee and hope he wins but i think he is below the level of fighters like kessler

I think Kessler beats him rather convincingly. He's a different class of fighter IMO.

wow, what a great review.....

this man cant be american with such amazing sarcasm

my sides are splitting






.......

Magee loses when he steps up to elite. He lost to Bute and Froch, and against Bute, he lost convincingly. Kessler decapitated Allan Green in their last fight. If that Kessler shows up, Magee loses by mid-round KO.

Kessler should beat MaGee as he is a class above him. Kessler was hurt in his last fight but it was at light heavy. Mikkel having the home advantage should mean that he wins the fight should the contest go to a decision. I do think the right hand of Kessler will result in a KO to Magee.

However Magee is on a good run and will have the confidence of travelling there and beating up the hometown fighter.

What time is the fight starting Tonight??

I'm relatively excited for this one. Would love to see the Irishman score an upset in Denmark.

I'm putting a bet on Magee to win either way.

Kessler by stoppage in about 10 I think. He'll just gradually beat Magee up and wear him down. Referee/corner will pull him out but he'll be brave as always.

Not sure. That is the time listed on one of the streams I use. Degale is listed at 10 on the same site so I'm guessing that 9 is the projected time for the Kessler fight

Nathan Grahams Essex card is on right now at another site.

Interim belt in his last fight against a Dane who's name escapes me.

I like Yafai, spiteful

Eddie and Calzaghe are whispering to each other about coming out of retirement to fight froch lol

It should happen.

So the barker fight is on sky now, what's happening with the Kessler fight is it on after this one?

They must be behind schedule! Cos Kessler is on sky. Likely 10 as that's the universal time for main events

Love that think drive advert!

yES IT IS. uNLESS I've been misinformed.

Barker starting to get the timing and range. Rusty as expected but starting to find it. He will take over in the next few rounds and hopefully force a late stoppage.

Change the thread title to include Barker vs Hope?

Barker's right hand starting to take over.

Right hand can't miss.
Will Hope survive the 12?
If Barker had real power he would be an elite fighter I believe.

Two or more three rounds like that for barker and it gets stopped, hope they still show the kess fight

After such a long layoff, classy way to return.

Well never mind not even one more round, barker looked good, and would certainly give most anyone a decentish fight.

Impressive from Barker.

And it keeps Ryanman's treble on target.
Need Kessler via KO and Juan Manuel via points for a big payday.

Good knockout for barker, he looked in control from the off , let's hope he stays injury free and has a good 2013.

Barker looked great. What a sweet hook. Glad he exploded back on the scene with this performance. I really thought that he would beat Martinez
