    It is in danish, with Kessler telling Froch, how they got treated in Jokeland. I like the mind games, but i still think what happened to Kessler was below the belt line. Makes me even more curious whether Ward really can beat Mikkel again on neutral ground.
    i really wanna like Ward, but stuff like that, home protection - being a ***** for not fighting on hostile territory and head butting stops me from doing so.
    Translation from google translate: (And yes i am too lazy to translate it properly :D )
    When the Super Six finals Enclosures night to Sunday Danish time, Danish Mikkel Kessler settle for a spot in Boardwalk Hall, Atlantic City.

    From there he will cheer for Briton Carl Froch fighting for belts, honor and money against American Andre Ward. Kessler had to withdraw from the Super Six with an injury before he had surprisingly lost to Ward - and added Froch first career defeat.

    Defeat for Ward headaches still Kessler, not least because of the treatment he received in the U.S.. Pure harassment in Kessler's own eye, and therefore helps Kessler Froch now trying to prevent such harassment.

    Afraid of bad treatment
    "I've talked to him occasionally since we first met, and I've actually just talked to him. I think Froch will win, but you can be afraid of how they treat him," says Kessler.

    "Apparently they treat him well, they did at least at the press conference," says Kessler, however, has urged the British to get all agreements down in writing.

    Dane clearly remembers what he was facing up to the match.

    The limit for harassment
    "I told Froch about everything outside of that stress me. When I had just peed on would I suddenly doping test just before the fight, so I had to drink two liters of water. It's not good when you are standing in the locker room."

    "And when the last tape was put on bandages, came Ward's trainer, saying it had to be altered. They could have said previously."

    "They came and said I was in the ring about five minutes, and then I struck on the pads, so they came and said" 10 more minutes. "How they did in 45 minutes. They tried to stress me, it was pure harassment, "says Kessler.

    How about, don't use illegal handwraps if you don't want the stress?

    Right so telling Kessler to wrap his hands legally, yes, 'jokeland' is indeed 'crazy' for not letting Kessler use his plaster wraps

    Agree. But the doping-test was outrageous. Froch should just spit Virgil in his face, if his up to something dodgy

    Yep, this thread convinced me to think that a 120-108 for Ward would be one round too much in favor of Ward.

    If this is true it is disgusting terrible treatment. Further made worse by Wards dirty headbutting and Kessler being warned for head use

    Guess Kessler still hasnt gotten past the fact that he was outclassed by Ward.

    Now lets not tell lies. Kessler has never been found to use plaster wraps and seems a good sportsman that I wouldnt doubt him.
    He was asked to change how his hands were wrapped which wasnt the issue, it was that it could have been said to him sooner, but how it was done prevented his full warm up.
