Kessler-Bouadla on 6/4: Mikkel wants Bute or Super Six tourney winner in near future
May 24th, 2011
By William Mackay: Former WBA/WBC super middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler (43-2, 32 KO’s) will be fighting for the first time in over a year when he takes on little known fringe contender Mehdi Bouadla (22-3, 10 KO’s) next month on June 4th at the Parken, in Copenhagen, Denmark.
If Kessler wins this fight, he’s talking about wanting to fight either IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute or the winner of the Super Six tournament. Kessler is also open to fighting a rematch with Carl Froch, whom he beat in his last fight a year in April in the Super Six tournament. Kessler has to subsequently pull out of the tournament after that fight due to a lingering eye injury that he had before that bout that was making it hard for him to fight.
The injury has since healed and Kessler is looking to take on the best guy possible. The Bute fight appears to be at the top of Kessler’s list. It’s not hard to see why because Bute, who fights in Canada, is able to draw huge crowds of over 15,000 fighting there and a fight between the two of them would be a huge event. But first Kessler has to get Bouadla out of the way. There is no room for slip ups in that fight, because if Kessler loses then his chances of getting the Bute fight will go down then drain as well. However, he’s picked the right opponent to take on in his tune-up bout next month in choosing Bouadla and this should be a nice easy win for Kessler.

stop removing my comments you idiot, whats the matter cent you handle the truth ??
@ Tom britt…you are correct Tom for ward it is at hand…he will finish what he set out to do and that is to put his stamp on the supersix trophy. It’s funny you saying that the other participates have caught on to a fighter that can beat you in so many different ways….with wards boxing IQ he has caught more on to them….Kessler would have a career ending beating if he set foot in the ring against ward. TOM YOU SEEM LIKE A BIG FROCH FAN AND POSSIBLY FROM THE UK. TOM FROCH IS TAILOR MADE FOR WARD WHETHER HE WANTS TO BOX,BRAWL, ETC HE WILL BE A STEP BEHIND WARD AND THAT IS VERY UPSETING TO A FIGHTER. FROCH IS EASILY FRUSTRATED AND WARD IS A MASTER AT THAT.
KESSLER WON A DECISION OVER FROCH AND BEAT FOUR OR FIVE GUY BETTER THEN BUTE EVER BEAT. SO WHOSE YOUR BUM? AS TO WARD HIS TIME IS AT HAND.BELIEVE IT. THEY ARE ALL WISE TO HIS GAME.
I wouldnt say all but some european fighters are so overrated, its a shame guys like kessler, abraham, and froch have all been exposed bexause all they have on there records are nobodys except for the abraham who has the KO over JT and froch who won the fight over Dirrell only because it was in England and not at a neutral site, if anything Froch is the most overrated
Kessler got destroyed by Froch. What is this fool talking about.
This bum can’t beat Bute or The winner of super six, which WILL be Ward.
