Kessler-Miranda Will Not Happen

[Deanrw]

Who knows, I'll reserve judgement until his next fight is announced.

Well if he's been offered a title fight then logically that means Bute or Mundine.

Both have only just fought though and Mundine is supposed to be fighting Sam Soliman for the third time in a complete waste of time fight.


My money is that Kessler is going to fight Bute in June

Or, could it be possible that he's been offered a shot at Danny Green's vacant 175 lb title? Can't see why Kessler would want to move up, but you never know..........

I seriously doubt it would be Bute. Bute seems to be enjoying the comfort of the IBF ratings committee and their wonderful opponents. hehe

I feel bad for Miranda. The guy just wants to fight. The Kessler camp got yellow belly plain and simple.

Kessler could have got some great exposure over here. He thinks an alphabet title is more important I guess, or he is just using that as an excuse.

Funny I really didn't think Froch had done that much

Very dissapointing news to hear... Hopefully than can pull this off afterall, Boxing has so much momentum now with the big names going at it, hate to see the Boxing machine stall with this showdown

Seems like the risk of getting "banks'ed" has got kessler worried.

So true, what other fight could be bigger than this for Kessler... All the mainstream names have fights for the most part, couple that with Miranda's fearless crowd pleasing status and outrageous style puts asses in seats... Very baffleing

Yes very strange...after goin at it with joe, i would think he wouldn't have much of a problem outboxing miranda...especially for only 10 rounds. And geeeez to have to sit around and listen to all the shit miranda is gonna talk till he does get another fight is gonna drive kessler crazy, i guess not taking a fight you don't belive you can win is better than going thru to motions and getting ko'ed i guess.

Well Mogens Palle is a sucker for titles and it seems that Kessler will get a titleshot at one of the "big" ones maybe WBA or the one Palle usually uses IBO . Since I know that Calzaghe has other plans it would be against Mundine.

But I have before blame Calzaghe for not taking the Kessler fight , but as it is now I think that Miranda would be the bigger fight unless they pull something really big I don´t see this as a step in the right direction for Kessler.

Buuhhh Team Palle

Kessler confidence must me low,otherwise he would take this fight there is no bigger fight out there at the moment for him.There is no better way to get over the Calzaghe fightin by beating a tough world class fighter like Miranda and to show your the best in the SM division since JC has moved up.

or you an Danny can start a Kessler ducking Miranda video montage complete with bonus footage and behing the scene interviews

Full props to Miranda's camp for trying to make the fight happen. They bent over backwards and accepted all of Kessler's camps demands to make the fight happen.

Yet they still backed out. Perhaps Kessler's handlers were not expecting Miranda's camp to accept everything or getting their bluff called to begin with!hehe
