According to WBA rules, a champion must defend his title against a mandatory challenger every nine months. Haussler was the last mandatory challenger on the 25th of October. Perdomo is the next and must be fought by the 24th of July. Of course, that shouldn't mean Kessler fights Perdomo as late as that. He could fight him as soon as May, I think. This would leave plenty of time later on in the year to fight Larsen.
So tired of hearing trash about Kessler's fights happening and not happening. The guy needs a real promoter who is gonna get him matches.
Kessler has been so dissapointing since the competative loss to Calzaghe. He should be the SMW king with a couple of the major belts again. LEAVE PALLE!
Yep, rated #45 at boxrec.... This is apparently the mandatorys you get at WBA.... -But then again, if you buy a cheap house in a crappy neighbourhood, you have to live with the crappy neighbours....
16-2 10 KOs Gusmyl Perdomo. Losses to Mario Veit and Dimitri Sartinson on his resume. Looks like Kess has an easy night set up.
At least if they're going to feed him substandard opposition, they should make him fight them all in one night. Something like a Kessler gauntlet. Veit then Perdomo and end the night with Larson.
Palle may be bad but what about Sauerland and Larsen? First Bute and now Kessler. Larsen won't even have a big last paycheck. Unless this **** is only a threat by Palle to make them sign the contract.
