I know Haussler is not the hottest SMW in the world. But if Kessler win's a clear fashion, will he be reconised as the true champ in SMW?
No matter how this fight turns out, it is really a no win situation for Kessler reputation-wise. If he wins every round and/or score a TKO/KO it will be as everyone predicted against the limited Haussler...
I think he already should be, unofficially at least. He needs to do it officially, but based on what we've seen from all contenders Kessler is the stand out at the moment.
Absolute nothing fight for Kessler. Except he gets to keep his belt and if he stops him he would be the first to. I hope he gets back to work quickly after this.
Kessler is the number #1 contender in SMW ... he should be considered the best, but champ of SMW - he'll need a few more fights/belts to earn that title...
If Mundine had bothered to fight him rather than vacate his title then he would've been SMW ring champion (as Mundine is #2 contender). If he fights Bute and wins he wins the title as well. But like that's ever going to happen...
Nobody said anything about Kessler after the fight so yes,no Kessler soon for Bute but the division is full
yes IMO he will be 4-1 v ring top 5 ranked fighters when he fought them. siacca/mundine/andrade/beyer/calzaghe and will now be now seen as the dominant 168 fighter until someone knocks him off or he moves up.
