    All that aside. Have they reduced his ranking? Why is Kessler now fighting two others for the title and not Miranda? Again, no knock on Kessler's abilities, but this doesn't do anything but add fuel to the 'protected' fire. This has been a mess since the inception with Miranda. Palle has just badly mishandled the whole thing and now it gets even worse, which no one though was possible.

    Instead of targeting ESB fans, he should have went for Miranda.

    It's pretty obvious to anybody owning 2 brain cells that it is impossible to summize who was to blame. Some articles are released by team Miranda, some team Kessler. I wonder if they are going to be completely objective in their views :roll:

    I've not seen a single article from a credible source that pins all the blame on Kessler. It's obviously much easier to jump on his back, because Miranda talks a lot of convincing junk that influences the naive, and many Americans have a vested interest in him

    Well, Palle said the deal fell through because their demands were not met. So, Warriors posted the terms. Palle fell silent. But my point is the WBA has said Kessler needs to fight two people for THEIR title, and neither is THEIR number two ranked guy? Who can this be? :huh

    Kessler was publicly challenged by Miranda and I never heard any response from Kessler while that was going on and now he has the nerve to talk?

    Well this doesn't really reflect on the Miranda/Kessler situation, more how easily influenced, or shall we say "persuaded by money" the WBA and alphabets in general are

    Poszwa probably shifted a whole lot of Euros the WBA's way

    If we Pavlikers have to come over there to see it, which is better? O2 Arena or MEN? Not only for the view of the fight, but overall with all things considered (i.e. restaurants, pubs we won't get killed at, etc...).

    Palle, at least publicly, makes it look like he called the shots at the WBA. Claimed to have gotten Miranda moved up to #2 so it would be 'ok' for Kessler to fight him afterall. Then Mundine vacates and #2 is not in the mix? I think I'm going to start selling trinkets. :yep UBO Univesal Boxing Organization. Forget world titles, be king of the universe with the Hermit's Humungous Honorific Solid Imitation Gold Chain with Authentic Replica Cubic Zirconia Studding. Look like $100 Million for a fraction of the price and forget those ugly look alike world straps.

    I couldn't compare the two, and I've only been to the MEN for a concert but it was great. It is just outside the city centre, which makes life a bit easier. There are plenty of restaurants about 5 minutes away in a complex. The O2 is supposed to be fantastic, quite a sight, by all accounts. All I would say is people are generally more hospitable in Manchester, and you are just as likely to get killed in either :good

    Millenium Stadium in Cardiff would be the best choice by far

    Put you down for one at what weight class? :lol:

    My posts never got to the point I was trying to make. Since Palle publicly claimed he got Miranda up to #2, the Miranda people will say Palle pulled more strings and kept him out of championshp mix now.

    So, now Miranda fans will say Kessler has ducked Miranda TWICE! That is what I meant when I said Palle made it worse yet.

    I might be able to skinny down to 154. Can I get mine in Silver? I just can't really do Gold.

    With all my respect to you, yeah Pavlik has fought a bunch of nobodies..but Kessler too has padded his record with a lot of nobodie 'till he fought a couple of good boxer? Pavlik is now fighting good boxer, Kessler have nothing to say, Calzaghe was his first very good boxer to fight, and even if I do rate Taylor less good than Calzaghe, he is very good too at his top of his game
    Maybe i'm mistaken, your thought?
