What a Shitty carreer for a Warrior with skills... A fighter like Kessler could clean divisions... :S
Kessler is a very simple, 123, effective fighter. I think his accomplishments reflect his ability accurately. Physically and technically impressive but always lacked creativity and variety in the ring.
Sartison was unbeaten and a legitimate contender. Haussler and Perdemo were a waste of time I agree, the whole collapse of Mogens Palle. It was a relatively close fight against Froch yes, but it was a clear decision. Bouadla and Green were not good opponents I agree. Brian Magee is a solid fringe contender and has only lost to good fighters, and Kessler really put a licking on him. Good win for Kessler.. I agree that he has been unlucky with promoters issues and injuries, but he has had a solid career so far with some noteable wins, and he has only lost to the two greatest SMWs of all time on the road.
You guys will be in for a biiiiiiiiig surprise when Kessler stops Froch in round 5 or 6 with a bodyshot!!! Cant wait!
Overrated. Average fighter in a weak super middleweight era. Dominated against the only 2 great fighters he fought.
I always liked Kessler's clean, sharp boxing style. I followed his fights for a while, the guy used to have an outstanding jab. I'm a Bute fan turned Froch fan since the both of them fought, so I don't really pick a favorite in the upcoming Froch - Kessler fight. No matter how the fight ends though, I think he's accomplished more than enough to hold his head up high even in case of a defeat. :/
Volbeat (Danish band) is pretty big in America those days. In fact, they have taken over Anthrax guitarist.
