No Mention of Kessler in Warren's column
Yeah, and no doubt it has to be in the UK, and HBO will have to put up big money as they did with Taylor & Winky. If Kessler can be Joe's cash out, it can be made. No one will say no to money.
I give Kessler the edge wherever it is. He GENUINELY wants it, he's an ambitious champion, he's fit, and a terrific all rounder who takes on proper top 10 opponents & has sampled (and dominated) nearly all styles.
But you know, Kessler's been there since 2004 asking for this fight. Who did Calzaghe take on? Salem, tried to get a fight with Brian Magee but got Veit instead, Ashita, Lacy, Bika, Manfredo. One of those was a top 3 fighter, two were top 15, others nowhere near. The next guy to get consideration was Alejandro Berrio.
Now they say Kessler.
I think they're at a loss! Lou DiBella is doing with Taylor what was doubtless going to be done with Calzaghe. Fights with either Roy Jones Jr or tournament finalist Hanshaw!

It was a preview for a fight and BN accidentally repeated the advert the next week when the fight was over. Allegedly allegedly in his column procees to mock Maloney, then BN the following week said something like "FW was keen to rip Maloney last week but it was our error" - making him look like a right twerp.charlieb wrote:What was the duplicated advert for?steve689 wrote:Andrade acknowledged Kessler is class after the Dane dominated him on Saturday.

Warren/ITV have mentioned Kessler a few times in the past. Remember they tried hyping a fight with Kessler straight after the Bika fight, showing clips of Kessler's KO of Beyer. Then the negotiations between Warren & Palle were being reported back late last year until they dumbed down as Andrade refused to step aside again. Now that Kessler is starting to make a name for himself on HBO, I can see it happening.
