    If the fight is made it's going to be at 160 - so a blown up welterweight against a drained Supermiddleweight - fair fight ;)

    Yeah. I think Kessler goes whoop on Shumenov too. Sounds like they are more serious about staying at 175 than I had imagined.

    Interview tonight with Kessler saying he´d be ready to step down to MW for Martinez if it would get him a shot at his title.

    Wow. They are all over the place. Gotta give him credit for being game for it all. Personally i'd prefer he stay at 168 or even 175 than try to have a go at mw.

    He looked pretty confident in an almost smug kind of way, stating all he had to do was to change a few things in his training to make the 160 limit.

    I still prefer him at 168 though. Natural SMW in my opinion.

    The LHW is exiting enough but I think he could struggle plenty up there with elite fighters, due to his history of injuries. If there´s one thing he doesn´t need it´s another long lay off.

    If I'm Shumenov's management I take that fight.

    Kessler better not go down to 160...I don't like the way that sounds.

    Kessler vs Shemenov is an awesome fight. So is Froch vs Pascal/Cloud winner.....if Froch and Kessler get through those the rematch would be HUGE and for 175 unification!! Kessler destroys Shumenov but I dunno if Froch beats Pascal outside of England....the first fight was a very green pascal in hostile territory and he made it so close that I wouldn't argue with a judge scoring it in favor of Pascal.
