" It's going really well with it (the hand). The swelling has gone. Now I just need to test it very soon, and that'll be quite interesting" Mikkel Kessler tells TV2 sporten. After 3 month of no boxing, Mikkel Kessler doesn't want to force the hand to quickly as he looks to rebound by testing it step by step to see how much it can take.
As long as he isn't mentally affected, people are really going to see how awesome Kessler is and how bigtime of a win that was for JC.
Thanks. Kessler doesn't want the small tune-up fights, so he will probably fight in the summer - hopefully against someone in top 5 at smw.
A Kessler vs Pavlik fight would be a dream fight. Both can bang, both guys about equal in size, both are legit but not yet reached superstardom level.
I just hope he doesn't go all 'Lacy', start fighting tentatively. He could rule that division for years to come.
Kessler was just in the news, saying that if no one will fight him at 168 he will go to 160 or 175. Promises he will be a world champ again. Expects a fight in 4-5 months time.
Great to see Kessler coming back, i'm a huge JC fan but Kessler impressed me so much in Cardiff. He's a hell of a fighter and gained a new fan that night.
Wouldn't it be more plausible for him to pursue a fight at LH? I simply can't see him making MW in a healthy way.
