This is the only article I ever read on this topic. Sounds like Kessler was scared to me http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=3312534
Team Palle is about making money and its better for them to snatch a title and fight nobodys in Denmark or Europe for top dollars. Makes more sense then fighting a tough hard punching Miranda who posed a very real threat of ****ing up their pursuit of those dollars. Had Miranda been a real can they would never have ducked him. They win the paper title against a can and then make money overseas fighting the Gary Lockettes of the world. No one defending Kessler has the balls to come on here and state their ****ing case. I have given you the reason and its still a weak and gutless move by Palle. Frank Warren and Palle disgust me, but I cant blame them for opting to fight cans, with the exception of Joe C who will also go down soon they all get crushed the minute they step out of their comfort zones. THESE FIGHTERS ARE AT THEIR BEST FIGHTING CANS AND HASBEENS VERY RARELY ARE THEY PITTED AGAINST A GREAT FIGHTER IN THEIR PRIME.
I didn't realize I was homosexual until this tread came up :? Do you have more information about me that I should know of :huh :think
Wasn't it because Kessler and his team verbally agreed on the fight but then Kessler's team went looking for a fight against Mundine for the WBA belt after agreeing with Miranda. (whether or not they thought Mundine would be the easier fight who knows) Fight gets cancelled, etc you know. Team Kessler did not even let Miranda and his team know, they found out through Showtime I believe? Mundine refuses to face Kessler, while this is going on Miranda already agreed on a rematch with Abraham and when Kessler and his team wanted the fight, Miranda had already reached an agreement with Abraham and his people and he wasn't going to do the same thing as Kessler and his team.
You see how the European guys dont even mention this article. I guess they think if they ignore it then its not there. And despite the fact that the guy that was employed to work the deal for Kessler not even knowing that Kessler wasnt going to fight shows that either they didnt care or they werent serious about this fight to start with. Either way Kessler DUCKED Miranda, and there is no way around it, no matter how hard they try. It only makes them look bad for tring.
1. that's not a picture of edison miranda. the picture you posted is of jermain taylor. 2. you can't tell any size difference between them. pictures can be decieving. without previously known info, taylor could be a 6-5 heavyweight and kessler could be a 5-10 middleweight with a more muscular frame. even as it stands in real life, thats a picture of taylor weighing in which means hes lighter and skinnier than usual. theres really not much of a size difference between him and mk. 3. no professional boxer who fights at a championship level is a *****.
