If it happens, I honestly think that this fight will be over quick, maybe in the 1st round. Joppy doesn't have any real power, he's been beaten up a few times now, and Kessler is a big super middleweight in the heart of his prime. I guess Kessler's just staying busy, waiting for a chance against a more worthy opponent.

The fight date hasn't been set yet, at least according to boxrec.com. I don't think that it's a case of Kessler chickening out by taking on an easy opponent, just an inability of his manager to find a more suitable opponent that's willing to fight him right now.
