Kessler-Sartison for the WBA title in SMW

Teampalle just announced that Kessler will face Sartison for the WBA-title on the 21 of June

Sartison is ranked #4 by the WBA.

He has no big wins - but looked good last time out versus Nievas.

So TeamPalle's retoric about a worldclass opponent was a stretch ... again. A decent opponent, but it's hard to tell as he hasn't faced anybody of real note to compare ... by all accounts Kessler should have a relative easy night on the 21 of june.

 

Well it's pretty basic Palle - for a dane nothing surprising in that opponent - I'm just a little surprised it wasn't Häussler

 

Well at least Sartison is better than the latest opponents who fought Mundine for the WBA-title

 

Sean on Sartison:

***************************************

a previous post of mine on the same fighter

a lot better fighter than i thought previously, and while he has still not fought opponents good enough to justify his number 1 or 2 ranking with the ABC`S he does have talent.

main drawback i see with him is his size/
he is 5.9 with a welterweight build.

but facing the 6.0 argie that mundine beat in a world title defence on points sartison showed very good abilty and skill level , that i never thought he possesed in the clips i had seem of him before
sartison impressed me.


he is very good on the inside/outside /keeps very relaxed and flowing/mixing it up with a lot of variety in his punches and was much heavier handed than his record suggests.

he might be able to be outworked by an aggrssive brawler , but he does fire back when under pressure.

very good combinations flow off sartison and with a good mix of variety on them .

a very well rounded fighter in terms of abilty who i underestimated.

no more.

might never make a world champ , but he is definatley a good fighter and speaking german fluently might help his popularity in the future.
