Dawson refused to fight Kessler at 168 or at a catchweight, Kessler refused to fight Dawson at 175. Who is ducking whom?
We can't say for sure on a catchweight, because Palle shot down the fight outright. His rationale, that Dawson was a monster who has to drain himself dry to make 175, is among the more ludicrous statements made by any promoter in recent months.
Dawson said he would come down for the "right fight," but that means only if there is huge (probably PPV) money involved. I don't doubt that Kessler would happily fight Dawson -- and I think the Dane would have a realistic shot of winning -- but Palle's bull**** excuse was one of the worst in quite a while.
Today Palle says no way the fight can be April 4Th. And Kessler put too many conditions on the contract he signed. "If I have to, I'll take him to court":-(
kessler , time is running out. you need to avenge your loss to JC before he retires..fight bhop and be the one to KO him.
he called out hopkins plenty of times, latest when he was in US! but get the answer "Kessler who" guees that means he doesn`t want to fight him!
