Finally, the fight Kessler and his camp have been pushing for for some time now comes to reality. No disrespect to Calzaghe, but Kessler stops him late IMO.
I feel Kessler has a slight edge being younger, stronger, sharper and obviously has no lack of confidence taking the fight in the U.K. when he very well could have fought just about anyone else in Denmark, or even here in the states on HBO. Once again, this is just my opinion which won't even get you a bus pass
, just based on what I've seen from both fighters.
There is no final deal with HBO from what I understand but negotiations were underway as both camps want the fights shown in the U.S., especially because both fighters are looking to move their careers here.
A huge money fight, last I read 16,000 seats were sold in less than a day. The U.K. fans love their boxing.
I'm a huge fan of Kessler's, and hope he can pull out a convincing win and move on to bigger and better things against quality opposition. No way this is a dull one, I can't wait.
