Kessler v Green

So, seems the viking warrior will returnt his weekend, finally. Not sure what shape he will be in after allt he injury problems, but assuming he is fit, I see him wearing Green down in this one. Green looked awful in the S6, truly so, and I would expect he has found his level just below the likes of Kessler.


Kessler KO 11

What you think? Also, where does KEssler go, assuming he wins this. LH is perilous division for him IMO. Dawson beats him, Bhop too IMO and Campillo. Might beat Cloud though

Assuming that Kessler wins, how about a crack at the WBO title?

Allan Green is useless. Barely above clubfighter level.

Kessler by mid round TKO.

Yeah, Kessler v Clev would be great. is it likely though?

I wouldn't suggest that Warren would avoid it, but Warren would avoid it, as Kessler is a professional boxer after all.

If Clev did beat Kessler it would sink the prospects for Clev vs Froch though I would think, and that's a fight I'd love to see.

I doubt Warren would want Kessler near Clev anytime soon unless the Dane declines rapidly.

The LHW division is very weak at the moment. Most of the talented fighters are at SMW. If Kessler is still as good as his last fight suggested, than he'd comfortably beat the likes Pascal, Shumenov, Cloud and Clev.

Dawson - Kessler would be good to see. I'd edge towards Dawson but not by much.

Pascal would give Kess serious trouble.

Dawson would beat him comfortably IMO.

Kessler to easily KO Green somewhere around the time that Johnson did.

I think Pascal's ambush style would suit a textbook puncher like Kessler. It would be a good fight but I'd favour Kessler as I think he's overall just a superior boxer. Given that he also beat the man that beat Pascal at SMW, I can't see why he shouldnt be confident of winning.
Dawson is a bit of an enigma. I personally don't rate him as highly as others do. His best win was against a possibly weight-drained Adamek and he was out on his feet by the end of that fight. Other than that, you've got wins against relics like Hopkins, Tarver, Johnson and a loss to a fairly ordinary fighter in Pascal.
I'd favour him to beat Kessler due to his physical advantages but wouldnt be surprised whatever happens.

Kessler is stepping up to LH and against Dawson he would have not one physical advantage. Dawson does not live up to his talent but that said, he is still a very good fighter. PAscal may have lost to Froch, but he too has been campaigning at LH a lot longer, is fit and young and could prob open up those cuts on Kessler. Both good fights, but i favour Dawson and Pascal would be a 50-50. Also think Bhop would bully Kessler on th einside and UD him

I think Style wise Hopkins and Dawson would be bad for Kessler and he'll look as bad as he did against Ward, but with less headbutts. Can see him outworking Pascal though which would be a good fight and he is just better than Cloud and Cleverly so I would favour him to win against both of them, robbery aside.

Fair points. I guess it depends on how fresh Kessler still is and how comfortable he is at the weight. I can't see a fight with BHop taking place. He should just retire as he's now firmly in the "who needs him" camp.

Don't know why anyone would want to get involved with Bhop at this stage. However, there are those who want the name Hopkins on their resume. Take someone like Campillo, who was robbed v Cloud in many peoples opinion. He would catapult himself into a much wider category of notoriety if he beat Bhop, but it would be ugly and Bhop might even rough him up enough to win. The only fight I would be interested in seeing Bhop fight now would be Cloud, because i think he could beat him and not look ugly doing it. But Cloud is fighting Pascal, so can't happen.

HAHAHAAH

I was why so much Poopie came out of his mouth. His bum is sealed shut.

Haha. Green is hilarious

Must admit I never knew Kessler had a colostomy bag

Where does Green go from here?

Hospital then the job centre. That was a bad one.

Great knockout from Kessler. Glad my favourite Supermiddleweights career is back on track

That was a KO of the year contender. I wouldn't get to carried away with Kessler at the moment though he was genuinely hurt in the 1st round against a less than top drawer opponent. I do like Kessler and hope he can add some excitement to the Light Heavyweights as Dawson vs Hopkins was hardly a great advertisement for the division.

KO of the year contender here boys.

Really amazing left hook the way Green fell was bad, heavy heavy knockdown, Green just ain't world class.

Mind you he did have him on the canvas in the first, Green will always have a punchers chance against anyone at LHW.

This fight did make me believe everything Green said about being drained at super middle. He looked huge and very imposing, he's just not that good. Amazing KO!

Totally agree.

thought kessler was VERY disrespectful celebrating like that when green as face down on the canvas. regardless of what was said before, he should have checked green was ok.

price was a perfect gent, he ko'd sexton then instantly checked if he was ok before celebrating.

in the heat of the moment it will happen - but kessler celebrated, looked at green still out of it after a good few seconds and carried on celebrating.

Kessler also told Danish Sports TV 'Hvis...han dør...han dør' which roughly translates to 'If he dies...he dies'

Kessler was celebrating before Green hit the canvas.

Well there we are. Kessler not the perfect gentelman after all. I also thought the celebrations were bad form. Reminded me a bit of the highly overrated Manny Pacquiou vs Ricky Hatton KO.

What is wrong with Kessler and all those tats? They look grim.

to be honest i thought steffan just went to google translate and turned a rocky quote into danish.

Absolute perfect punch... Kessler knew it was over before Green even hit the canvas.

Kessler clearly seems to be packing some power at LH and if the injuries can hold up may well be a force cause Green certainly aitn glass chinned by any means.

great finish but I do agree it was not on how long it took him to check on green. Spot on about pac man as well boon. That was the time I went off him. Price was top draw the other night. They are all in it to win but at the end of the day they are all risking their lives when they step in the ring. Bit more respect would be nice.

Having said that don't want to put too much of a dampner on it. Should be some good line ups to come from this.
