    Put Kessler down at least.

    Middle of round two though it looked like he was done.

    Green nowhere to go now, needs to drop boxing and look for his second career.

    There's nothing in this world I hate worse than a fighter (ie Alan Green) who for no God Damn reason (ie I have no defense, I'm certianly not a counter puncher, and it's not strategically necessary) just allows his opponent to get off first. It literally makes me want to drive my car into a God Damn bridge embankment. All kidding aside, did he throw a right hand after knocking Kessler down?

    Kessler might want to slow his roll in fighting top 175 talent. Better stay away from Campillo, because he is gonna KO his ass.

    Also, that "knockdown" Green scored was suspect. I don't think any legal blows actually caused him to go down, just clubs to the spine. (although Mikkel WAS staggered by an overhand right a few moments earlier...)

    We're just lucky Ian John Lewis didn't waive the count and rule Kessler unfit to continue and Green the victor by KO1. :-(

    Green is very decent, Top 30 guy, came to fight, But a KO like that over even a DECENT fighter is impressive.

    Watching the replay of Green's shining moment in the first...

    Good right hand, hurt Kessler...but the knockdown was as much a wrestling throw as anything.

    Kessler hardly had any sparring before this fight because he was scared of his hands...

    So it took him a round or two to get into things...
