Kessler: "Im Ready For Froch"


Tue 26-Jan-2010 17:56


Mikkel Kessler presented his new gym to the media today when he
hosted an open training session in Copenhagen.The Viking Warrior cannot wait to get back in the ring and become world champion again.

The 30-year-old will meet WBC Champion Carl Froch in the second
round of the Super Six World Boxing Classic, and Kessler is already looking forward to it. “I really had a bad night against Andre Ward, but I had a good rest, analysed everything with my team and now I am ready for Froch,” he said.

“I have just started my preparation with my new coach Jimmy Montoya. Things have been going really well. We are training very hard here in Copenhagen and will move camp to Berlin next week. I feel very hungry without a world title and I will take the WBC belt from Froch.”

Jimmy Montoya has no doubts that Kessler will bounce back. “Mikkel has so much talent and he will show it against Froch,” Montoya said.

“In this tournament the best are fighting the best and obviously Froch is a very strong fighter but Mikkel is better and he will beat him in front of his home fans in April.”

And promoter Kalle Sauerland added: “That was not the real Mikkel Kessler in the ring against Ward. But Jimmy Montoya has already started to bring back the real Viking Warrior. The clash with Froch will certainly be an exciting one and I am 100 percent sure that Mikkel will notch the first three points in the Super Six, especially with the support of his Danish fans.”

Kessler past his prime
morbid
morbid: They can say whatever they want about an off night, but Kessler looked a bit shopworn to me. I'm a fan and have nothing bad to say about him. I just think he's starting to slow down. I hate "Slopmaster Croch", but I think he'll have a slight edge if Kessler can't put on a much better performance than against Ward.
