    Thanks. I just assumed he's with Sauerland since he's on ARD so much.

    I hope it's in Denmark but I'm confident Kessler can still do the business in Germany. I don't want any slip-ups though because there are some great names for him out there. Personally, I'd like to see rematches with Ward and Froch and there is also Bute. Hopefully all three before he retires.

    You're mixing up things. Stieglitz has been with UBP in the past (Universum) and has been moved to SES (which cooperates with UBP).

    He has been on ZDF in the past and is now shown on SAT1. AFAIR Stieglitz never had one of his fights televised on ARD.

    A belt makes it 50-50 purse with Bute

    I can't see Kessler's people allowing him to take the risk of fighting in Germany. Too likely to get screwed out of a decision. Plus, if having a belt determines venue, shouldn't Ward have fought Kessler in Denmark? Just sayin'. :hey

    Why not germany if Kessler can't knockout Stieglitz he should retire anyway.
    Based on Kessler last performance i think this won't go past round 8

    Won´t happen, as Kessler is with Sauerland. Shouldn´t really be a matter, where it takes place.

    How funny. Sauerland says Kessler wants to fight Bute in Montreal but does gimmicks to have a fight against Stieglitz. He says then that Bute doesm't want to fight in Denmark. Then, he says Kessler will probably fight in Germany. Then, it goes to purse bid because Stieglitz doesn't want to fight in Denmark. I can see a ressemblance here.

    Kessler doesn't have to be scared to fight in Germany: he is with the German promoter. He should be scared of hos promoter though.

    Sauerland also said it would be a done deal 2 weeks ago.
    Sauerland also said Kessler would fight Stieglitz in Germany.
    Sauerland also said Kessler would fight Bute in Montreal.

    How many examples do you need before stopping trusting this guy?

    Sauerlands plan is to let Kessler beat Stieglitz take the belt and fight Bute in Canada.
    Kesslers eye problem , beiing away from the gym very long time ,polishing his new style
    (You saw it against Boudla) all this do make it it logic to take the easierfight first.

    AA fans believe Sauerland was really making an earnest effort to book AA against Pavlik and many still accuse Kelly of ducking to this day in spite of the evidence. Like having AA already booked into the SS when he was in New York supposedly negotiating a fight between Kelly and Aurthur. But hey... they wanna believe that is their problem. If this goes to purse bid doesn't that mean Kessler gets the short stack? I don't see them too anxious to do that.
