Kessler vs Steiglitz

Showtime will insist on Bute, if Froch wins Bute will do a runner. Froch-Kessler 2 in Vegas sounds good to me!

Thank god that waste of space Seiglitz is going to get knocked out!

 

Kessler froch 2 would do for me

 

I think they'll let the winner choose who they want to fight, the loser will cop for the other guy.

Bute's management seem to be having grief finding an opponent for him at the minute, offering Johnson peanuts to take him on in Canada.

 

Well if/when Kessler wins it will make for an interesting dynamic with Ward Froch Bute and Kessler all in the mix all will have something to prove against one or more in that mix.

 

Ugh.... not a fight I want to see.

Lost every second to Ward and then knocked out by Johnson.

He needs a way back in though so will probably settle for the scraps that are no doubt on offer.

I stand corrected :good

Would love to say Johnson by stoppage but can't. Think Lucy will take a clearish decision.

good fight this while, kessler aint the same, steiglitz cant break an egg but is fundamentally sound, kessler to get his arm raised at the end.

 

Stieglitz is made for Kessler. Kessler dominates Euro stiff types, he's the king of that style himself so how is RS going to beat him? He's totally overpowered and outclassed. That said, this was when Kessler was a force and I think he's past his best.

 

I think I must be the only one but I think this could be a very tricky night's work for Kessler. He looked sharp on his comeback but Stieglitz is a further step up in class from that and I suspect he could cause Kessler a good deal of worry.

Stieglitz has an excellent jab on him and puts his punches together quite nicely. Ok not in the top bracket of fighters at 168 but I do have my reservations on how much Kessler has left in him and I believe Stieglitz could well exploit any sign of weakness if Mikkel's not on the top of his game.

As well as being decent technically, Stieglitz is very, very strong and would not be intimdated in going toe to toe with Kessler. He doesn't possess the same variety of punches which Kessler has and would be vulnerable to his excellent body work but if he got going into a good rhythm, I can see Mikkel struggling.

I'd probably favour Kessler in a tight one over 12 rounds but I'd be surprised if he managed to shine as much as a lot of people expect him to. A stieglitz win is probably out of the question, especially if it's in Denmark (Not sure if it is or isn't) as he won't stop Mikkel but i can see his stock rising from this fight.

 

I think Kessler will knock him out.

He's at his best with the opponent in front of him (like most people to be fair) that will allow him to show his full range of punches.

I thought he looked good last time out but the opponent wasn't up to much mind.

 

I thought he looked okay in his last fight too? Yet people keep saying he looked poor and such.

I thought he looked better than he did in the Perdomo fight for example, where it was clear he was looking shite after inactivity.

 

I wonder how come he's never considered moving up?

When he fought Calzaghe I thought he looked the best part of a division bigger.

I don't think he's lost anything, he looked sloppy at times against Froch because he was no doubt expecting a toe to toe battle rather than having to lead all the time.
