    What's really great about this is that all the important fights at super middleweight will happen within a week.

    Ward vs Froch October 29th

    Stieglitz vs Kessler & Bute vs TBA November 5th

    Great news.

    I think I'll be going to Copenhagen, to watch this one live.

    I said the only way mikel can save face by backing out of the bute fight is if he fights stieglitz so i'm pleased with this.

    Bute now knows who's out there to face and it's pretty much between johnson, dirrell and pavlick from a credible opponent point of view. Anything less and he won't be viewed favourably.

    Stieglitz is going to be KTFO. Poor guy.

    Much better for Kessler to go into a fight with Bute and Ward/Froch with a title to his name and without ring rust. Good move to go with Stieglitz, whom he must take seriously. If Kessler can keep developing his body attack like we've seen against Froch and Bouadla it might compensate for the fact that he can't quite zip the combinations like he used to. I wish him all the best.

    Fine comeback fight. Stieglitz is borderline top 10 so why not?

    Stieglitz will get chopped down after 5-6 rounds. Easy fight for Kessler.

    Kessler deserves to be in the mix at the 168 top I do think he and bute need to fight after this to determine who gets ward/froch.

    After this fight I think (and hope), it will be Kessler - Froch II & Ward - Bute
