Kessler vs Dmitri Sartison

[donnydarkoIRL]

The article linked says this Sartison never fought a top 100 boxer. So how can he get a title match? Whose arse did Palle kiss ?

It doesn't really matter I reckon, the dude will be paid well for fighting Mikkel and Kess' will get a strap back, which means greter leverage in negotiating future fights.

I bet you are right - But imo Kessler deserves better. And has a lot to lose in this fight.

A loss would not only be a huge upset, it would be disastrous for Kessler's career! His marketability, his claim to the top level, everything would be gone!


In turn Joe Calzaghe's win over a very good fighter would be nullified.

Disaster is the right word to use, yes. But I certainly do not hope Kessler will have too many of these "nobody" fights...
