Enjoyable read that, Kessler will come back wiser and better prepared

Kessler is great for boxing and I hope he comes back strong.

he still bitchign about that hand injury? didn't look like he had anyhting wrong with it in the fight, and someone with the amount of fights he has had should not losse fa timing or anything else for not being able to use his hand for a FEW weeks before the fight.

By then most of the major sparring should of stopped, they wouldn't want to risk anyhting like cuts, or ironicaly hand problems that close to the fight anyhow.

Serious this guy is going on like ricky hatton, just coz you say it with a smile don;t mean your a bitter twat

"If a football player (soccer player), due to some foot injury misses out on some training sessions before vital matches then this player will loose some of his touch. That's obvious. But the hand was treated and it didnt hurt or cause problems of any kind. In this manner I can accept that my first defeat may have its explanation in strategic issues surrounding my preparations."

Seems to me he's saying, "yeah, the hand injury interrupted my training a little and affected my timing, but to be honest I admit that the loss was really down to `stategic issues`."

He isn't saying `look, it was my bad hand, that's why I lost`.
