By Allen Fox: Two time former super middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler has selected WBO super middleweight champion Robert Stieglitz to go after on November 5th in a fight for Stieglitz’s World Boxing Organization title in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Kessler is facing a guy that has had it easy in five defenses of his belt, facing little known guys who were no threat to him. Kessler will be a threat to Stieglitz, and it’s fair to say Stieglitz’s 15 minutes of fame are about up for him.

Kessler is a lot better than this guy, and unless Kessler has lost his talent completely with the long period of time he took off after pulling out of the Super Six tourney a year ago, he’s going to have an easy time destroying Stieglitz.

One of the good things about there being four titles in every division is that guys like Kessler can step in and grab one of the titles, even when he’s clearly no longer the main guy in the division.

Kessler was never “the guy” in the super middleweight class, as even during his best years from 2005 to 2008, Joe Calzaghe was around and Kessler was second best.

Now the division has gotten better with young talents Andre Dirrell and Andre Ward moving in, and Kessler is probably now the number #3 guy behind those two.

The other top fighter in the division Carl Froch, the WBC belt holder, but Kessler already proved that he’s better than him a year ago when he defeated Froch by a 12 round decision in Denmark.

In more ways than one, Stieglitz is going to be at a huge disadvantage in this fight due to Kessler’s home town advantage, superior power, speed and boxing ability. Stieglitz is out-classed in this fight.

Kessler doesn’t lose when fighting at home and he’s already so much better than Stieglitz that it puts the champion in the position where he’s probably going to have to try and knock Kessler out to win.

The chances of that happening are extremely remote at best. Kessler doesn’t get knocked out, especially against guys that aren’t huge punchers like Stieglitz.

However, Kessler isn’t infallible as we saw in his loss to Andre Ward in 2009, and if Stieglitz can make a point of getting off his punches first, he could in theory pull off a big upset. It’s going to be hard because he’s not fast like Ward and doesn’t throw combinations like him either.
