I don't see the point in Bhop at all, whether the fight could be made or not.
There's far too many fights to be made at 168 so no point in Kess moving up to fight Bhop.

As with all non US fighters though US TV exposure is critical. Kessler needs it and aside from Taylor I think Winky is one of the very few that can give him that. From a purely boxing standpoint fighting Winky is a no win situation for Kess, but from a finacial/exposure standpoint it makes perfect sense.

I just hope Kess doesn't underestimate Winky and assume he'll be no good due to age and inacticity.
