The Danish golden era can be over very soon. Markussen next weekend - and then Kessler vs. Stieglitz........ We are not that comfortable at all after all these years - we are not blind - we are just fans. Maybe it is all over in april...? Mogens Palle - maybe he was a **** head - but he single-handed made the danish pro-boxing for 60 years.......................HOF..!!!!!!!
I can't see a Ward rematch ever happening. One, because I don't think Kessler's team really wants one, and Two, because Ward ain't fighting outside of the US. My gut says Steiglitz then Froch then retirement.
wtf retirement Kessler is still 32 he has 3 or 4 years left and I think he really want's a rematch with Ward in denmark because he feel's he got cheated in oakland (which was not the case).
i didn't like all the jabs kessler ate in the Bouadla fight, I think Stieglitz gives him a tougher fight than expected.
I think Ward and his team wants the fight. Because they feel they can beat Kessler whereever. Kessler and his team also wants the fight because they feel they were cheated in Oakland. Not with the final decision, but in the whole build-up, and during the fight. In the end, if the fight does not happen, I reckon it will be Ward or his team not wanting to travel.
he might give him a fight for 5 or 6 round but Kessler will walk through all of Stieglitz punches. Kessler has probably the best chin @ 168 and Stiegltiz is a average puncher. The only way Stieglitz wins this fight is a cut or a Kessler injury
Wait and see. Kessler will be retired within 18 months. He's plagued by injuries that won't go away. His family wants him to retire. He'll have two, three fights more, max.
There is no point having rematch with Ward. He already got dominated and it would ruin Keslers excuse for the loss. He will never seriously pursue the rematch
I've figured it was gonna be Abraham next. He picked up a WBO trinket during his comeback fight in January, so I presumed that was a means of stepping up the WBO rankings/greasing the wheels with the org from sanctioning fees etc. Makes sense from a promotional standpoint too for Sauerland. Fight will be huge anywhere in Europe, and who else does Abraham have a shot against at 168? Outside of picking up a WBA "regular" or "interim" title he won't be mixing with the other titlists. Fight Abraham, then hopefully AA will move back to 160 where he really is a threat.
