Sorry to post twice in a row, but how refreshing is it to see genuine respect between two fighters and their fans? Especially when the two fighters will probably deteriorate each other in what is the very definition of a 50/50 fight aswell. This would never happen if fights happened between, say Mayweather/Pacquiao, Broner/Burns or Khan/Garcia II. We're going to be treated to a great fight on May 25th, and there won't be any excuses afterwards from either fighter or their sets of fans. I can't wait for this!
i love both fighters and im sure kessler and his fans will be treated as well as any fighter and his fans that could visit the uk. im defo flying over from france for this. i cant think of a single fight i would rather see.
:good Kessler is LOVED over here by British boxing fans. He's part British, but, more than that, he's a true warrior and a proper gentleman aswell. You won't find a British boxing fan who has a bad word to say about Kessler and, if you do, that person is a ****.
:rofl Exactly how I feel it. I'm from Denmark and cannot have always rooted for Carl in his fights. I cannot wait for the tickets to get available. Will be my first trip to UK, and am looking forward for a great night of boxing! I really hope the undercard will be great aswell.
It'll definitely be worth the trip over, mate. :good Hopefully Kal Yafai (the man in my avatar) will be on the undercard in his first noteable fight, possibly the likes of Tony Bellew (think he's out in March though) and Darren Barker will have a stay busy fight aswell. It doesn't matter who's on the undercard though, all eyes will be on the two warriors in the main event! It's going to be the same night as the Champions League Final (football) aswell which is pretty annoying. I'll be tearing my hair out if United make the final!
Completely agree with this thread. I find the whole ***** ******* bull**** really pathetic, especially as i get the feeling 99% of the real idiot posters have never been in the ring themselves. if you have, you'll know that every fighter deserves at least some respect, it doesnt mean you have to like the guy. Im definitely looking to get tickets for this....
Can't remember which Kessler fight it was, I think it was against Bouadla, where they delayed the main event for like an hour because of Champions League aswell:yep I imagine they'd do the same this time. Football is just such a huge tv draw. And honestly dont see United making it all the way, real tough road ahead of them. Have a hard time seeing them beating Real Madrid:-(
I really like both guys. Both have earned a ton of respect. I anticipate another great fight and will try to somehow root for both guys. I'm glad the Super Six gave these guys more exposure in America or I likely would have missed out on most of their careers.
Wheres the fun if there isnt a bit of bite between the 2 sets of supporters? Surely the banter is half the fun??
