Best of luck to him, he was one of my all time favourite fighters. I think he took too long to decide what he wanted to do after the Froch defeat, and that's why the big fight isn't there now.
Gave Calzaghe and Ward the toughest fights of their careers, which is no mean feat.

Re: Mikkel Kessler calls it a day
All the best to him. He never recovered mentally from the Calzaghe throttling. I think that was compounded by Ward.

Re: Mikkel Kessler calls it a day
Kessler is a good guy and gives it his all. I think he still can have that rubber match with Froch or Ward eventually but he does not want to wait. If Froch can not get Chavez then Kessler in Vegas in a neutral venue would be perfect.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

I may have to watch that fight again. I don't remember a throttling. I thought it was competitive early, including a big uppercut that hurt Calzaghe a little. Then Calzaghe adjusting and Mikkel not having a plan B.Originally Posted by IamInuit

That was exactly how it went down. Kessler (along with many 'experts') thought he had Calzaghe's number. When Joe changed it up and Kessler had no answers he was mentally broken, you could see it immediately in the ring, Kessler pretty much said so himself I think.
It wasn't a shelling in the manner of Jeff Lacy but it was a career damaging one.
Kessler deserves nothing but respect, class act in and out of the ring. Hope he enjoys retirement.

Problem with throttling? How about beat up? Does that work?I may have to watch that fight again. I don't remember a throttling. I thought it was competitive early, including a big uppercut that hurt Calzaghe a little. Then Calzaghe adjusting and Mikkel not having a plan B.

Re: Mikkel Kessler calls it a day
LOL! Hope he can find things to fill idle time, instead of having coke line competitions with Hatton.

Re: Mikkel Kessler calls it a day
A really good, solid, tough and competitive pro. He had excellent technique and never turned up unfit. Didn't duck anyone, and came across as a good guy.
Easily on if the best European fighters of his generation. A major star in Denmark (but he has a seriously dysfunctional family who do stuff like reality TV, so I hope he finds something to do that keeps him satisfied and grounded)
Adios champ, it was great watching you and you always gave us our money's worth,

His KO of Allan Green was classic.

Re: Mikkel Kessler calls it a day
He was knocked down himself in that fight which could have demonstrated that he was not as good as he once was.

For sure. It was a peach of a left hook though.He was knocked down himself in that fight which could have demonstrated that he was not as good as he once was.
