In what figures to be an interesting contrast in styles, WBA Super Middleweight champion Mikkel ‘Viking Warrior’ Kessler will defend his belt against undefeated Andre ‘S.O.G.’ Ward on Saturday night at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, California. The bout is the final stage one match in Showtime’s ‘Super Six’ Tournament and should give us a good indication of what the rest of the tournament holds.
Recently both men weighed in under the Super Middleweight limit of 168 pounds at the Oakland Aiport Hilton Hotel. Looking ripped and ready, Ward and Kessler have high expectations for Saturday night.
