Now that Kessler has his title how about giving Abraham a shot . The winner fights Pavlik. Who wins in a bout between Abraham and Kessler?
Kessler wins a wide UD in this one. Those wild ass haymakers that stopped Miranda would not touch Mikkell. They would not touch Pavlik either for that matter. You can't hit someone who has sound fundamentals with that kind of ****.
He wouldn't even risk his belt at catch weight, what makes you think he would go the full monty and do 168 with the current top dog? Anywhich way. Kessler is too big, strong, smart, precise and has too many tools for AA. But AA could still make an impact at SMW nonetheless, but Kessler will be too difficult for him - and for Pavlik now that we are at it.
