I suppose they figure its the best way to get Kessler back in the mix... They must figure with Calzaghe going up to 175 he will vacate all titles thus making Choc's not a regualr belt but the only WBA belt and if they win that hes a champ again? But i heard even though hes going up to 175 (Calzaghe) he still keeps his belts? I duno lol "Danish promoter Mogens Palle isnt holding back any punches. He thinks that the WBA having Anthony Mundine as their super middleweight world champion is unacceptable. The opponents Mundine has been fighting recently. It looks a like a joke, he said. Palle spoke to SecondsOut on Sunday by telephone from his hotel room in Las Vegas. He made it clear that his boxer Mikkel Kessler, the former WBA/WBC world champion, wants his old belt back. Of course Mikkel is ready for a rematch, he said. Full article http://www.secondsout.com/World/news.cfm?ccs=225&cs=23843
Interesting point about the WBA deciding in late 2007 that they would no longer have a superchamp/regular champ hierarchy...looks like Mundine can't rely on fighting for a vacant second tier belt a 3rd time once he loses this one.
if mundine is serious about being the boss at 168 you would think he should be the one calling out mikkel...
lol no way mundine will fight him, but honestly choc should say fuk this and go for world fame, honestly he could retire ten times over from the money he has made, why not test his skills out against the world best, and i mean really the worlds best, entice them to cme her put australia back on the map, therefore creating more money for other fighters.....
Mundine can beat that robot. He will know how to deal with this 1-2 merchant this time around :deal I think i might borrow some womens underwear and snap a pic of myself in it if he loses :yep (will dwell on this idea and get back to you later) :yep Here comes the ppl to tell me "Joe just beat Mikkel how the hell will Anthony blah blah blah" :blabla:blabla **** i hope this fight happens, Mundine is a VERY live underdog :happy:happy:happy
Well Mundine wasnt going to go looking for the contest, so they came looking for him. Quite frankly, Kesslers team see a easy way back into the spotlight. They obviously have "The Man" down like many others do as a paper champion and fancy their chances. So do I. I hope It comes off.
Being a big fan of Mundines ability i dont even care if he loses again, all i want is for Mundine to make the fight closer than the first which indeed he will. The myth that Kessler was 35.4% fit in the first fight will be put to sleep finally :yep
A definate step in the right direction , kessler should be handed the "REAL WBA TITLE "when Calzaghe steps down as the "REAL WBA CHAMP" , and Mundine forced to fight Kessler for it if he wants to be called a "REAL CHAMP" , This fight should be held in Denmark also , If Mundine refuses or prices himself out of this fight to Continue fighting Cabbies then he will be rightly known throughout the world as a **** house with a Toys "R" Us belt .
Express , Ive been saying for while now that choc's level of opponent will come back to haunt him , I reckon he should fight a warm up v Bika first to ease himself back into word class level fighting just to give himself a fair chance of beating Kessler, we all know he is talented but whole Career rest on his next decision , Fight or Flight ?
