I have to give it to Parody. I was the one who wasn't worried about this fight in the least bit. Boy was I wrong. I may have jinxed Kessler.

Nice performance by Kessler in a very entertaining fight.

Bouadla is a tough guy with a lot of courage, he never stopped coming forward until he was knocked down the fourth and final time. As far as I know, he'd never been down before this fight.

The Viking Warrior is Back!!

Great performance for Kessler, after being gone for 14 months. He looked crisp, fast and powerful. Parody, your right Bouadla did not come to lay down. He gave Kessler a good test coming back. I love Mikel's body shots and piston like jab. He has also added a over hand right that rocked and knocked down Bouadla.

Right now, Pavlik has little chance against him based on their comeback fights. Mikel is back in a big way.

Yes, it was a great win for Kessler. Best Ive seen Kessler look in a long time, probably since he KO'd Gusmyr Perdomo back in 2009-2010ish.

Bouadla was a tough guy and came to fight. Kessler's combination punching and right hands scored a great TKO win.

Kessler's back!

I really don't like it when fighters move up. They always lose something, especially power. That said, Green tends to turn into an absolute mutt if things don't go his way. Kessler should take him out.

I see this fight ending with Green on his back and semi conscious, round 4 or 5. Its more or less a stay busy fight for Kessler.

Looks like Ward will be fighting Light heavy weight Champ Dawson. And of course Dawson will have to drop down in weight to fight him. Thus, Kessler will never get the rematch with Ward who surprising beat him with relative ease almost 3 years ago.

And, it is appearent that Ward will avoid Bute, by fighting Dawson at a catch weight. I hope Dawson beats him and removes the zero loss record he has. I will admit he has ability though with out power.

I like the move to 175 for Kessler. 168 is crowded with whites and 175 is lacking. Plus, he is a big 168-er and was probably struggling to make the weight (like Calzaghe in his later years).

Tomorrow night the great Dane will be a four time and two divisions world champ.......he better be, because I did bet 100 Euros on him.

Dang it, I ran out to hang some clothes between rounds, and had to chat with the neighbors a bit (nice looking gal visiting them but they're lefties anyway) and missed the knockout. Legit one puncher. Happy for Kessler.

Green is an extremely over hype black boxer. He's lost to just about every good opponent he's faced and has loses to Miranda, Ward, and Glen Johnson. He was over matched from the start.

Kessler is now a 4 time and 2 weight division world champion and a future hall of fame member for sure. That was a KO of the year candidate.

The money I lost from Bayern, Kessler gave them back to me hehe :wink:

I would really like to see Kessler fight Ward again. I think he can beat him but he needs to get a fair ref that won't allow the headbutting from Ward. He also needs to fine tune a few things for a rematch with Ward. He was able to win some round against Ward.

You are right about a fair ref, but allow me to put it like this...........why over protected half Negro Ward doesn't grow some guts and go to fight Kessler in Denmark just like Kessler did go in Oakland to fight this cheater (he was Conte's boy)
