Why are losses so terrible nowadays? Someone has to lose. Kessler is a good fighter. Maybe Ward is just very good. Kessler is still a good fighter.
I agree Manny would be excellent. But he won't take him IMO,much to busy with his fighters and he also has cut training work down.
He needs somebody who can teach him to fight on the inside, maybe andrades trainer? That grant fellow.
The only thing that has happened is Kessler stating that he needs new resources on his team. He has not stated what those resources would be though.
i dont think much is going to change, which is a shame... he should beat froch but im not 100% sure anymore
Some weeks after the fight I met an old buddy of mine who is good friends with a guy who has had the opportunity to follow Kessler's preparation and sparring sessions before the Ward fight. According to him Kessler's team has devoted too much attention to stamina training. According to the same guy Kessler's fundamentals and footwork was on the slide because of this. This is just hearsay and I don't know this guy, but my buddy is very reliable and honest.
yep olsen might lack some qualities as a trainer, but it seems as if people are overlooking the fact, that kessler the last 3-4 years only fought 1 quality opponent, besides ward. Mikkel should be in his prime, experience wise, physical and mental, but something just seems way of. We are not talking about standing still, weare talking about a rapid decline in ability. it might be a little harsh, when all the proof i have, is "reading between the lines", but i really think kessler is finished at elite level.
