I was replying to a post of pure abuse aimed at me, simply for expressing an opinion. The Kessler fans on this sight are just getting too much. Normally I'm very objective, but since he fought Calzaghe it has been nothing but excuse after excuse for Kessler. With me it is wearing thin and I'm tired of being expected to believe all of the excuses. Especially when the excuses are posted in Danish in a tabloid newspaper.
misunderstanding.. sure fruitcake.. youve been vocal and pointing fingers at everything from camp kessler, your ability to analyze the situation, led you to think, that this was done with the purpose of using it as an excuse.. now jonoli the fruitcake, was this your sherlock holmes imitation that went wrong or is it true regarding your peanut brain:yep he has been given alot of leeway on this forum, well thats certainly a matter of perspective.. i should leave if kessler dumps palle.. well that really makes sense, im proud of you, it must have taken you a great deal of thinking and analyzing, to get to that conclusion.. i wonder if the fruitcake sherlock jonoli, used the same method of thinking and analyzing , when he came up with the idea, that kessler trashed palle publicly, so he could use it as an excuse, regarding his next opponent.. :yep
In my view Kessler isn't "big" enough yet to get the bigger fights without a belt ... and I don't consider the WBA-belt a paperbelt. Even Pavlik fights for belts against opponents the level of Sartison (Lockett and Rubio) ... belts are not as irrelevant as some people tend to imply ... even Vitaly came back to fight for a belt!
The belt Kessler took against Beyer was a very big factor in getting him the Calzaghe-fight! Palle did what Kessler wanted him to - Kessler said that he wanted to be worldchampion again - and he is. And even though some people here thinks otherwise the general public actually care about belts. As for the Mirandafight - three things: 1. I would also have liked to have seen that fight 2. The fight would have been on Showtime - which would have damaged Kessler's relations to the HBO - which pays better and makes the bigger fights 3. In heinsight - the fight would proberbly have done little for Kessler - see what a spetacular victory by Abrahams did for him ... is he fighting the big guys in the US? ... nope he is fighting hasbeens in Germany!
In an article in danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet today, Mogens Palle says, that he is very dissapointed with Kessler if he wants to leave Teampalle after what has been done for him. He states that thanks to Teampalle, Kessler earns about $400000 a year in sponsors alone. The newspaper estimates that Kessler has earned about $ 6,5 mil. total while being promoted by Teampalle.... (A lot of money in Denmark) But it's kinda funny. Teampalle keeps yapping about how much money Kessler has made, and it seems to me, that Kesslers primary dissatisfaction is not about the money, but about not being able to fight the most interesting fights from a competitive viewpoint, in order to ensure his legacy...
And also in Ekstra Bladet: Sauerland has stated, that as long as Palle has options for 3 more Kessler fights, they won't get involved in anything....
Kessler will win nothing from this unless he has a contingency plan ready. Hopefully a promoter in the States waiting in the wing. Unfortunately I don´t think that Kessler has thought this through in which case Kessler will be without a fight for 2009 at least should he choose to break with Palle. This is a crappy situation.
it is really bad for danish boxing,that Mogens palle is the only promoter in this country.. So If you are a great danish boxingtalent,you can turn pro with Palle witch you later will regrete. Mogens Palle is denmarks Don king. he´s a disgrace to boxing...IMHO.
