Kessler-Miranda Will Not Happen

[Kirkland Laing]

The only excuse they gave was there may be a world title fight coming up. Apparently the fight was only going to be a ten rounder too. Be interesting to see what's behind this.

Shitty, I was really starting to look forward to that fight. I can't believe that Kessler is actually scared of Miranda though.

[Gandalf]

I was looking forward to it as well. Whats going on with Kessler? He should have had a fight lined up by now and a fight against Miranda is as good as any other. Strange goings on!!

You would think this to be the absolute perfect fight for Kessler. He definitely should have no shortage of confidence after a valliant showing against Calzaghe. This is a fight he had a very high chance of winning and over a name that would immediately propel him to the forefront of the division again.

The fight made to much sense, strange as to why it's not happening. Not that I really care, I think Kessler would have wiped Miranda off the map but that's not the point, the Kessler camp has been acting fishy lately. I wonder what, if anything, is up.

I agree! Miranda was the perfect opponent for Kessler to step back in the ring with & get back in the mix!

I wanna know who they're looking at fighting instead! Unless it's someone like Jones Jr or Taylor then I can see no reason for Kessler not to have taken the Miranda fight!

It does seem a strange decision by Kessler if he had beaten Miranda he would have kept himself right in the mix but now should Froch beat Inkin his name will be the one going forward & Kessler will be left behind.there is some talk that he maybe fighting Mundine again just to get a title having beaten him already it looks a soft option

Very dissapointing news to hear... Hopefully than can pull this off afterall, Boxing has so much momentum now with the big names going at it, hate to see the Boxing machine stall with this showdown

Seems like the risk of getting "banks'ed" has got kessler worried.

So true, what other fight could be bigger than this for Kessler... All the mainstream names have fights for the most part, couple that with Miranda's fearless crowd pleasing status and outrageous style puts asses in seats... Very baffleing

Yes very strange...after goin at it with joe, i would think he wouldn't have much of a problem outboxing miranda...especially for only 10 rounds. And geeeez to have to sit around and listen to all the shit miranda is gonna talk till he does get another fight is gonna drive kessler crazy, i guess not taking a fight you don't belive you can win is better than going thru to motions and getting ko'ed i guess.

Well Mogens Palle is a sucker for titles and it seems that Kessler will get a titleshot at one of the "big" ones maybe WBA or the one Palle usually uses IBO . Since I know that Calzaghe has other plans it would be against Mundine.

But I have before blame Calzaghe for not taking the Kessler fight , but as it is now I think that Miranda would be the bigger fight unless they pull something really big I don´t see this as a step in the right direction for Kessler.

Buuhhh Team Palle
