Kessler against Johnson in US

....great fight. Hey first time you get robbed i say wow, second time i say hhmmm, third fourth and fifth then you need to change something you're doing in the ring, if johnson doesn't then he looses another decision as usual.

I agree. I've said it before but the guy is one paced and doesn't seem to count the rounds in his favour. While he may win some rounds convincingly he'll let the other guy do just enough in the next round to even it up. Doesn't seem to be an urguncy in his work when things might be going the other way.

Love it if this fight comes off.

Interesting matchup. Good for both men. I think Kessler might win a close decision, but Glen is always game and I wouldnt be surprised if he roughed his way to a decision either. I assume Glen would be the underdog as usual but a very, very live dog. Hope they both make a good account of themselves as I suspect they will.

Probably the best fight thats immediatly available for both of them to get back on the radar

Very good match-up. I was starting to get worried that Mikkel was going to just beat-up on unknowns in Europe.

This fight is a chance for Kessler to make a statement and I think he will.

About time Mikkel Kessler stepped up and this fight is at Light Heavyweight right ? it could set up some big matches for Mikkel Kessler in the future should he win it, i think Mikkel Kessler is a bit too skilled for Glen Johnson.

And he has the power to make Glen Johnson respect him, i see Mikkel Kessler winning a competitive exciting fight by round about these scores 115-113, 116-113, 115-113.

Johnson has to have one of the most applicable nicknames in the sport today."The Road warrior" indeed.I think he's the type that could have competed in any era.Great match here but I have to go with Kessler,down the middle for a 12 round win.Johnson will make him weary in spots and will not go softly...never has and never will.

Tough fight for Kess, no doubt...

Kess better bring his A-Game cause Glens gonna make his ass work for the win.

I don't think the fights been signed yet so here's hoping it happens.

No i think they agreed to fight at catch weight

[porkypara]

This fight is going to be a WAR!!!


Hope they show it in the UK,bet they dont.

If Kessler steps into the ring with Johnson, it would officially mark the end of his one year tour of being a huge pussy, and wash away his sin of ducking Edison Miranda.

All I can think of is how accurate and hurtfull kessler was with Andrade and how Johnson starts slow, trundles forward and gets hit, not forgetting Johnsons age.

Getting down to the lower weight coupled with kesslers sharpness, I see Johnson getting stopped.

If Mikkel really does a number on Johnson, who thinks Dawson or Hopkins, or any fighter would be as keen to face him as they are Calzaghe?

[Rantcatrat]

Kessler stepping into the ring with Glenn Johnson merits praise. The best at 175, Dawson, doesn't want antying to do with him after eeking out a win. At the end of the day, Johnson is far from the best boxer at 168/175, but he is a tough, live, dangerous competitor who has never been knocked out. Against Bhop in 1997...

If Clinton Woods can beat Johnson, I have no doubts Kessler will and I do see him hurting Johnson.
