Mikkel Kessler is coming off a loss to Joe Calzaghe and his promoter called out Anthony Mundine this week. A rematch between the two would easily be the biggest fight in the super middle weight division since Joe Calzaghe has moved up to the light heavy weight division to challenge Bernard Hopkins. Kessler won the first match against Mundine rather easily scoring a wide unanimous decision.
Here are some reasons why the rematch would be very different:
1. Kessler is coming off a loss, his first of his career. He will lack some confidence in the early rounds against Mundine.
2. Mundine has improved since fighting Kessler last time, destroying two highly rated fighters in Danny Green and Sam Soliman.
3. In the first match between the two Mundine would not let his hands go. When he did he had Kessler in trouble, especially in the opening four rounds and the last round.
4. The only factor I see in Kesslers favour is that he will be more hungry after coming off a loss. If he is I think he could win a wide unanimous decision again.
Kessler is obviously the favourite in this fight and should win if every thing goes to plan. But he is taking on his toughest test in the division and that is straight after loosing to Calzaghe. Mundine is an improving fighter and he has great hand speed and power and world class defence. This fight is going to be very close, both can win and it will likely occur in Australia.
