kessler sadly has a case of calzaghe syndrome:

both from small countrys

both struggle(d) to get any attention stateside

both quite happy to slip under the radar as long as those half decent world title paydays keep coming along

both promoters even happier to allow the above to carry on as long as the fighters remain under contract to them


just like with calzaghe until HBO comes along kessler will remain a european stay at home fighting other europeans on showtime
