Mikkel Kessler fought and beat Henry Porras at around the 30 fight mark. Froch fought him after 14 starts and got the job done quicker.

His progress is fine. He should get the Lonsdale belt wrapped up as quick as possible and then vacate. Treading water to accomodate mandatories wont do him any good at all.

In answer to the question asked he is big, strong, good puncher and a good chin. He will prove a handfull for any S middleweight out there, including the big two.
