    Brian Magee is upgraded from interim to full champion ahead of his bout with Kessler! That makes Magee a 2 times World Champion.
    Brian Magee is the new WBA super middleweight world champion after having his interim title upgraded by the governing body.
    The decision means that Magee's fight against Mikkel Kessler on December 8th is not for the vacant world title.
    The 37-year-old southpaw is now rated as the reigning and defending WBA superb middleweight champion.
    If Magee beats Kessler, he will fight the unified world champion Andre Ward next year.
    Mgaee is targeting a hat-trick of wins over Danish opponents........... Read Full Article

    I would love to see him win but I think he will be soundly dominated. No disrespect, but it is Brian MaGee. Kessler isn't spectacular, but he should be far too good for a 38 year old Brian MaGee. Maybe Brian will go the route, but he has nothing to offer as regards power, and that is his big problem. Kessler will feel like he's getting hit by pebbles.

    ...which highlights how successful he has been in making a career for himself. theres better fighters who havent come close to getting these opportunities. definitely limited at this level but theres always hope :)

    Out of his 25 (60.98%) KO record, Larsen & Markussen spring to mind

    Magee shipping huge straight rights to the body twice and goes down twice. Should really lower his guard, way too high.

    Shocking high guard by Magee, even after he got his gut busted first time round. He really needed to keep them elbows down.

    Easy night for Kessler, and I really hope the rematch with Froch goes ahead, and I'd like to go if it's in Nottingham.

    so easy to say, I just hope he comes away from this fight with knowledge, and keeps safe (stops pumping gloves?)

    Brian looks like a small MW fighting at SMW. I knew it wouldn't go 12. He's juts not near that kind of level.
