Kessler getting his hand operated!!!

Thanks for that news!:good Hope he comes back stronger than ever asap.

 

is that an excuse i hear?

need to know for sure before i pounce.

 

Looks like it's someone stating the facts. Calzaghe UD12 Kessler no matter how you look at it.

 

KESSLER YOU LOST BY THE BETTER BOXER, STOP MAKING EXCUSES:fire

 

You are right! Kessler is having an unnecessary operation done because he is looking for an excuse for having been beaten by 4 rounds by a top p4p fighter...

 

he looked 100% to me. Was throwing both hands at full power. The hand definately did not affect him during the fight. Actually Kessler even said he was 100%.

 

He's not making excuses. He's said he lost fair and square. Hell, he even waited a few days to say his hand was injured to not take away from Joe's glory. Considering the injury was serious enough that he needs to get surgery on it, I think Kessler's handled this in a very classy manner.

 

Talking about excuses the proclaimed flu Kessler supposedly caught some weeks before the fight now turns out to be an "excuse" for a hand injury that prevented him from sparring.

(source: www.bt.dk sports today.)

My own problem with that story from his coach is that, as far as I remember, the flu was exactly three weeks before the fight. So, would loosing 1-2 weeks sparring three weeks away from the fight influence your peak performance? If indeed the latter is the case I can understand why MK was low on air in the second half.

 

He may have had hand problems, but it did not make a difference in the fight. Mikkel Kessler fought the exact same fight as any other, as a matter of fact, he probably fought better then any other fight. Hands may have been hurt, but he didnt fight like it. True Champ
