Kessler's next opponent. Guess before 7. MAY.

WBO or WBC? Making it mandatory to defend it against Froch later this year!

 

But then...it wouldn't be a title fight...it would be an eliminator.

 

No... A title fight... Paying Froch to step away... Giving him the notion to be the first challanger for the winner!

 

Froch is not taking step aside money. He is desperate to win the belt to claim Calzaghe is ducking him.

 

Well it actually makes some sense, as it seems Froch and Kessler is the match-up right now for the WBC title. So waiting 3-4 months fighting Kessler or Taylor and getting paid in the process is not that dumb at all.

The winner of Kessler and Taylor would be a bigger name for it, and would make for a bigger fight for Froch than of now!

...interesting...

 

But he would be fighting for the small end of the purse then. It had better be big $$$$ to step aside. I don't see it myself.

 

Yeah it is all about speculation! But there is no logical opponent based on the press-release :think

I am hoping for Taylor one way or another!

 

P2K is still into hyping the Abraham/Miranda fight. He has been a little quite since yesterday though. Seriously, Abraham would have to have a partner before this swap could be made. AND if they wanted to do this, they could have ducked Abraham at the last minute, ALA PALLEA. Also, Miranda REALLY wants his revenge against Abraham. Isn't this unfounded speculation crap fun?

 

With you on that one!:yep

 

I will guess SMW WBA belt since Palle seemed to be able to get that list revised to his liking before. So, does it come down to who they can get moved to number two in place of Miranda? And all of the people saying Miranda doesn't deserve the shot.......

I think the Abraham-Miranda rematch is hype. I can't see why Abraham should be willing going to the states fighting Miranda at super-middleweight. And why should Miranda be willing to fighting Abraham when no title is at stake?

It is stated that the bout is subject to commission approval/change.
And Miranda would prefer a title shot.

 

hats shocking the way everyone jumps in the ring to celebrate and leaves that poor dude hanging motionless half through the ropes
