Isn't Denmark qualified for the European Football Championships? The fight is on the same day as one of the quarter finals. Thus it's absolutely impossible that the fight will be televised in Germany. Abraham-Miranda will take place in the night, so it shouldn't collide with any football matches.
yeah rub it in you :twisted::fire :twisted: ... No Denmark isn't qualified - our national team stinks atm...
Not a great fight but an honest one, fighting an undefeated up and comer, I don't really see this being any different to the Andrade fight with the exception that Kessler is now a recognised name and thus people expect he will fight only recognised names.
The WBA titelfight against an 22-0 is better then a Miranda fight...:bbb if Kessler takes the titel maybe a fight against Bute or Pavlik is next...:good
Butes manager will try and keep the IBF as long as possible, a more likely unification in the future is the WBC. but if we are all honest we dont NEED any unification til Joe retires, all we need is goodmatchups. I have no clue about Sartison, we are assuming he is **** and he may well be, but a young undefeated fighter doesnt look bad on any record, neither does the WBA belt which is the main reason for the fight. Im going to let this one go in hope that he raises his level of comp in the first defence.
From what I've heard, Bute's looking at a unification fight next year. He said he was looking to fight Kessler too, next year. Sure, he has to get past Andrade first, and that ain't gonna be easy! I'm thinking he's going to target Froch first, before Kessler, though.
Bute will kill Andrade in my view. Andrade is just a guy with one hell of a chin but he's sloppy, if you stick to a gameplan and utilise all the opportunities he gives you to land, he's actually a very easy fight.
Bute beats Andrade comfortably imo, same reason Kessler beat Adrade and the same reason Kessler would beat Miranda. Tough sluggers with no plan b get found out when they go up a level. Bute UD.
Agreed. I don't know if he'll kill Andrade, but he should be able to dominate Andrade. Andrade is a so-so fighter with two very good attributes - chin and stamina. Way too many people on here put too much stock in a guy's chin, which is probably the fault of Amsterdam and Zakman being so vocal about it. Kessler already laid out a game plan to dominate Andrade, and Bute should be able to follow it easily with his skill set.
For a guy with an accurate left hook due to the way Bute drops that lead right hand of his, yes. Andrade isn't that guy. My thoughts are that Bika is a better version of Andrade than Andrade is, with more power and better accuracy. Bute handled him relatively easily. Well, by Kill, I mean that I expect him to dominate over 12 rounds. I don't know if it's possible to stop Andrade although he went down against Mack so maybe his chin is over-rated based on the Kessler performance. A great boxer doesn't need a great chin, he needs great defense. From what I've seen of Amsterdam, the guy is cuckoo, not even worth talking to with the way he over-represents Gamboa.
whats bad about this match is not the oponent, but how long it took the Kessler team to decide on this oponent. He has been outa the ring a long while.
