Apparently.

Apparently.

Surprise Dirrell didn't make that move first.
It should have be in the rules that a drop out of the tourney, can't get a title shot for a year. Although Kessler problem was serious.

I thought he had to rest for a year or something along them lines? Now he get's a title shot in June. Awfully fishy there.

Kessler will win this IMO then maybe a uni bout with Bute?....The call it quits his career is coming to an end...if he loses to Stieglitz IMO he will call it a career

Doesn't this all assume Stieglitz gets by Sartison who Kessler already beat?

Kessler's face took an awful pounding from the head of "Son of Ram" Ward and I'm not surprised he needed a long break after Froch. Anyway, I am glad to see him back and would love to see him push his career for one big final hurrah.

Kessler hasn't really lived up to the post-Calzaghe expectations and I guess that in some way validates just how tough a fight Calzaghe gave him.

I like the guy and wish him well.

Well, last time he fought was in April of last year. It's close, but it's consistent.
