>>>The Mikkel Kessler Warring Longboat<<<

How about Kessler not hitting so many holes in the air? I just find it hard to believe he would continue that trend now that he knows some of JCs million tricks. After (re)-watching the fight I realise that MK was probably right, when he after the fight, suggested he should have used a lot more body punched instead of throwing power punches. Using power punches might have drained him prematurely?

 

Mmm Maybe but i think Calzaghe can adapt to so much situation... He had trouble with the jab at the beggining and neutrailized it. Then Kessler came back with the upercut, Calzaghe neutralized it... And after it was all Calzaghe...

As i said, i just can't see how he could do because Calzaghe just has everything over him, except power...

 

I see where your coming from but I think key to much of JCs success is stamina. So, to stand a better chance, you need to reduce the stamina advantage. Quality body punches is a way to do that. Wasn't it Hagler who once said "Kill the body and the head will die!"???.

 

On the Euro forum, their talking about a possible all Danish showdown with Mads Larsen. It's probably his best option, should he decide not to move to the states, which most of us would rather he did.

Larsen would be a decent domestic scrap that would generate a few quid for both. He's also a good fighter that fits the bill perfectly for a comeback fight.

 

Definitley. He's IN his peak now. He can't afford to waste time with 1-2 fights a year. This might be a problem due to the health of his promoter. Apparently, as ill as Palle is, he's not gonna let Kessler go cheap. Ideally for Kessler, imo, he'd sign with a good American promoter and make his comeback early march, against Winky Wright. I doubt Winky will want to fight him but it'd be a good scalp for Kessler and improve his stature over there.

But, yeah, he really needs at LEAST 3 good fights next year. Winky, Miranda and winner of Froch/Inkin.

 

Yeah, that's the real crappy part. He loses to his biggest rival in the division and all of a sudden he drops from the rankings like a hot snot. I suppose if he got Winky first, he could look to Green and possibly even Bute. Although I don't want Bute/Kessler just yet. Bute needs a few more fights.

Even fighting the loser of Inkin/Froch wouldn't be a bad thing I don't think. Not if he can't get any of the other top names. I suspect Taylor could actually retire should he lose his rematch with Pavlik, whereas if he wins, he'd be a perfect candidate.

It's all up in the air though. I just want him back in the ring as soon as possible.

 

Kessler needs to fight by March 2008 to keep his edge. Winky in the US would be a great choice maybe for his 2nd fight. It would generate a lot of interest & $$$$$$$'s world wide. But Kessler should get a solid win before he goes after a guy as good was Winky.

 

Kessler should kick the ass of that arrogant f!$% Carl Froch...

 

Sounds good to me !!

:good

 

I heard Kessler is going into surgery to get a confidence transplant..his old one **** the bed in the 5th round of his last fight

 

Nothing new in the danish press at the moment.

 

I think Kess should go after Mundine....he would get the regular WBA title and when Joe moves up it will be the full monty.

I thought Kess fought well against Joe and landed some great shots that would have won him the fight against any other SMW....but Joe is just 2 good.

Kess could earn some good money comming to Sydney to fight Mundine again......Mundine now knows that Kess can be beaten and this might give Mundine the ball to fight Kess again.

I dont think Mundine can fight the same constant pressure on Kess as Joe did so it should go the same as the first Mundine vs Kessler fight.

 

Well he has said that the - I've got 5-6 fights left - was a misqoute. I said he was very hungry and has no plans of retirement...
