Everyone has been wondering where he is. Nothing since his loss. Is he going 'Winky' on us? He could be out of the ring over a year waiting for a title shot.
Do we have any idea who Kesslers next opponent is? If its Tocker Pudwill then fair enough, stick the boot in. I will wait and see however.
Now that makes sense. Mundine's a better fighter than Miranda. Dont know what Winky has left however.
Braehmer declined his No. 1 contender slot with the WBA at 168, preferring instead to be ranked at 175, where Green just vacated - much easier to get a belt there now. This made Kessler No.1 contender to Mundine's title. It looks like Kessler is hoping to get a shot at Mundine, with the support of the WBA!
Cool! Their first fight was pretty good. I'd like to have seen Miranda-Kessler but it might of been a bit one sided. This should be a more competitive fight.
The first Mundine-Kessler fight was an awesome fight. Before Calzaghe-Kessler and Bika-Cordington etc..., it was one of the best fights I'd seen as super middleweight for a few years (between two top 5 fighters). And both fighters have since improved, so a rematch would only be better. I'm a Mundine fan, but realistically, I can't see him beating Kessler. I can hope, though.
So, he is waiting for Mundine to finish his bout on 5/28 to decide his next fight? [url]http://www.boxrec.com/date_search.php?yyyy=2008&mm=05&dd=28[/url] How does this stop a Miranda fight around the same time? Or do I have this wrong?
Well, Kessler wouldn't be ready for a 12 rounder against Mundine in May anyway...that's why he asked for 10 rounds aganst Miranda. As far as I know, Kessler is targeting Winky and Mundine. He could either fight Winky first, with the winner taking on Mundine, or he could just train for 6 months until Mundine gives him a shot. I don't think Kessler will fight Mundine in May...Mundine desperately wants to get another win before going in with Kessler and Soliman has a contract that stipulates this rematch with Mundine, so Mundine has to honour it, it seems.
Only you would find a way to criticise Floyd in a thread that has nothing to do with him. The faux title that I'm refering to is that WBA "regular" title that Kessler is chasing after. Floyd has never gone after that bull**** title. In general, I have no problem with IBF belts. The IBF belt that Floyd won against Judah was bogus considering Judah lost a WW bout in his previous fight. However, I'm can't get too mad at Floyd considering Judah was the only reasonable otpion at the time, and considering that Floyd won a legitimate WBC title in his next bout.
What's the problem? The problem is if Calzaghe loses to Hopkins, he definately won't vacate. Even if he wins, he still might not vacate.
I didnt criticize just brought the point home:good Remember to apply you're opinion consistently:yep As for BA, BO, BF, BC? Their all full of BS! So whats the difference? Fight the best, regardless which trinket they wrap around their waist:hey
My opinion is applied consistently. One org can't have two champs in the same division. Everyone knows the WBA created the super and regular titles to make it easier for fighters to unify. Calzaghe is the real WBA champ. Mundine has a faux title which allows Calzaghe to be a unified champ without having to worry about being stripped by the WBA. Futhermore, it doesn't even matter. Kessler is backing out of this fight and the best excuse his fans can come up with is that he's chasing a faux champ who already has a fight set for May. Why the hell couldn't Kessler fight Miranda then fight Mundine if he wins?
Reg, I've hated on Palle since the Calzaghe negoitiations and if you read my other post, I AGREE he should have just fougt Miranda. He'd win anyway. I also agree THE orgs shouldnt have multiple champs. Yet dont dsicriminate one alphabet BS over another. They are all equally full of ****:good
You missed my point. Mudine is scheduled to fight very end of May. This would not have interefered with fighting Miranda.
