Next saturday I'll see that fight live in Copenhagen. I'm not so sure what to expect from Sartison, I know that Kessler is on fire to proof he's still in the mix, but who is Sartison?
Does anybody know if it will be broadcast Stateside. Off on holiday next Saturday and want to Tivo it
I expect that Sartison is in for a loooong night! I think he will cover up for the first couple of rounds, and being slowly picked apart by Kessler“s jab and straight punches. I think it will resemble the Kessler - Beyer fight, with Sartison getting stopped in the 6th. I rate Sartison as a B-/C+ level fighter, and Kesslers is known to handle these kind of fighters with ease! I can not see how Sartison is going to win a round in this fight! His reach is poor against a guy like Kessler, and his pressuring is nothing out of the ordinary. A lucky punch is all he can hope for in my oppinion!
i go fo early ko to kessler. he has been trained by Jimmy Montoya this time, and he has worked on kesslers amount of bodyshots and tryed to make him a bit more offensive in his style. that and kessler wanting to proof him self once again after his defeat makes me belive sartison are in **** to his neck! but i havent seen the guy fight so im looking forward to seeing it on a big 50" plasma with my friends and a lot of nice cold beer :-D
How many people have actually seen Sartison fight? A prediction is pretty pointless if you haven't. With that in mind my pointless prediction is a kessler KO in the 5th. :nut
Well. The situation is pretty clear. Either Kessler kicks Sartison ass big time or Kessler is pretty much done in boxing. That's what I hear from the Kessler camp at least.
Useless fight for Kessler. Whatever bout he chose to accept, he would have been given a title by the WBA so why not fight someone meaningful that will move his career on? Stupid moves from Palle in my opinion. If I were them, I would have done all possible to get Jermain Taylor across to Europe. If not Taylor then there are many other credable names to fight at 168: Miranda, Bute, Froch, Inkin etc..
That is the rub. Had Palle been more patient, the Miranda fight would have ended up being a title fight anyhow. Could have saved himself lots of grief. I can't believe this fight will bring more money that he was going to get for the Miranda fight. Plus the exposure stateside could have meant more $'s in the future.
Mundine has not given up the WBA supermiddle title and wont for the next 2 fights. This much i can guarantee
I only follow 168 because Pavlik will eventually move up. So, I care about Kessler in so much as it might affect Pavlik some day. This fight tells me nothing. Gift belt match. Nothing more. So, I really don't care about this fight. Miranda would have been a common opponent. Then I would have been VERY interested.
