Why would Sauerland allow that? Abraham is their cashcow. He is going to be fed some handfed bums over the longest possible time. Including a Stieglitz rematch.
I agree. There is unlikely to be a KO in this fight. Both hit hard (AA the hardest), but both have great chins too. If in Germany I expect a fairly close fight on the score cards. Probably a 8-4 for Kessler in reality, and about a draw on the score cards.
I don't think Kessler KO's him, but he'd beat AA on points. AA just ain't active enuf to handle guys with speed and movement. Kessler can UD him just by movin and flurryin. AA's only defense is to use his arms to block shots. No head movement, duckin, slippin, etc. He has enuf power to threaten Kessler if he gets thru with his best shots, and even Calz hurt Kessler to the body. It can be a good fight, but I'd go with Kessler 4sho.
