    miranda would have been watched 2 times by germans and danes
    abraham 1 and 2
    lacy as far as i am aware has not been seen much on either countrys tv .

    by contrast haussler the fighter who nobody knows has fought to bigger tv audiences per fight than the biggest watched boxing event in america in 2008, whatever that may be.

    i read biggest american tv audience this year is 2 .2 million.

    european boxing audiences dwarfs this number

    amir khan v a 1 legged 1 armed afghan sheep farmer gets 6 million plus.

    american`s for whatever reasons are simply not watching boxing in large numbers this year.

    and sartison IMO is just the type of fighter to give both lacy and miranda very hard fights.

    Kessler is my man, but remember Sartison he'll be very good.

    i do agree with san rafael with regard to kesslers left hand.

    he can and should mix its variety up a lot more.

    trouble is kessler puts so much empahasis on his jab as a weapon.

    when this works varity is not needed.

    his opponents cannot get past it.

    but as you step up world class opponents take away certain aspects of your game and you need a back up.

    kessler though puts his weight forward on his left leg/leans in with it and really ramrods the jab and as he punches so straight its a good weapon.

    but he should take a leaf out of wlads book and just once and a while turn a left jab into a left hook or left uppercut .

    but its nick picking
    i have said it before , i will say it again.

    in the pure stand up euro style , kessler is the best exponent of this style technically as there is in boxing.

    I think Kessler is a top fighter whose management team are not interested in what guys like us on some forum think and are just trying to make money, which is why he will continue to fight mostly in Denmark against mandatory and low-risk opponents. The Danish public couldn't care less who he fights, they'll still tune in in their millions and buy tickets in their thousands to see him fight regardless of the opposition.
