Kessler went into that mega bout with a broken right hand which has since been completely repaired by surgery. It was the 21st successful title defense for Calzaghe who is boxing's longest-reigning champion.

So Kessler lied to me?

I have to admit I am a bit disappointed in Kessler and his team for coming out with that after the fight...I am a Kessler fan but he got beat plain and simple...It was a good figt one I would not mind seeing again but fact is he lost...Maybe the hand was broken maybe not I will not make assumptions but why after the fight does this come out?....I thought Kessler was classier then that...

I am still a fan and IMO he will beat Mundine but he lost a peg in my book for the hand crap

i kinda know what you mean; but IF IF there was a hand problem coming into it, its hard for a fighter not to bring it up tho, lossing must really fucking hurt and you look for any excuse so you don;t have to admit to your self you are seconed best.
