Hopefully Brian is getting well paid for this. I don't see him completing his Danish hatrick though. Good fight though.

Think Kessler stops him mid rounds.

After taking out Denmark natives Larsen and Markussen in the last few years on their soil Brian is a known commodity over there and should get a career best payday. I actually think Kessler isn't far from the end and one of these days could come a cropper but I find it hard to see where Magee can put a dent in him. He always seems to come up a little short against the very top operators, but he's proven that he is one of the most under-rated Irish boxers with his latest run.

Kessler seems kind of vulnerable these days. If Magee is focused he could run him close here.

I'm happy for Magee and I've always liked his approach.

But that will be Froch, Bute and Kessler who's knocked him out.

He's always tenacious, but seems to crumble after 6-7 rounds when steps up.

Magee's experience will get him through the first half of the fight but I see Kessler getting him out in about 8/9 rounds.

If you put Froch to one side, Magee's opposition is as good as anybody in this country

I can see Magee getting stopped in the latter rounds of this one - round 10 or 11 for me

Just seems to tire toward the end of fights and gets caught easily and Kessler has the power to stop most at the weight.
