Kessler steadily broke down the game Sartison, finally flooring him in the eleventh round and finishing him in the following round. Kessler must now face Danilo Häußler in his first defense.

·I thought that would be the case.
Did not see the fight but my dad did. He said this wa pretty much just a warm up fight for bigger things to come for Kessler. Kessler was calm and outboxed the other guy most of the fight and then went looking for the stoppage in the end.
I hope Kessler does not fight that Haubler fella and goes and gets himself a big fight in America.

Haven't see the fight yet. But it's good Kessler's back in the ring
I think he'll be forced to Brutus but there will be big things to come after that. Hopefully if AA and Pavlik meet Kessler will fight the winner.Did not see the fight but my dad did.

Its great to see Kessler has returned.
Pavlik IMO should only face one guy next and that is AA. Kessler id like to see fight the winner when he gets done with his mando.Kessler/Pavlik will probably happen in September of '09. That is going to be one helluva fight.

Kessler probably feels foolish for getting out of the fight with Miranda now.
I doubt that man. He has a strap again.Kessler probably feels foolish for getting out of the fight with Miranda now.

Yes, he does, but anyone with half a brain knows that it is meaningless, undeserved, and won against a guy who had even less business being in that "title" fight than he did.I doubt that man. He has a strap again.
Boxing is a business and Kessler fighting for a world title in Denmark is worth a fortune to him. I doubt he's losing any sleep with another seven figure sum in his bank account.Yes, he does, but anyone with half a brain knows that it is meaningless, undeserved, and won against a guy who had even less business being in that "title" fight than he did.

Oh, I agree wholeheartedly, but as a fan of the sport, this does nothing to impress me or prove that he has recovered from his first loss. Of course he's satisified to get some decent pay with zero risk and have the chance to win a title even coming off of a defeat, but it's bogus stuff such as this that makes me root for some guys to fail.Boxing is a business and Kessler fighting for a world title in Denmark is worth a fortune to him.

If Jeff Lacy takes care of business on ESPN next month, it looks like HBO will have him as J.T.'s next opponent. Former Olympic teammates, I'd like to see that matchup.He should try to get a fight with Taylor.
