Parken, Copenhagen, Denmark - Former super middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler (45-2, 34KOs), in his light heavyweight debut, knocked out Allan Green (31-4, 21KOs) in the fourth round to capture the vacant WBC silver light heavyweight crown. Green dropped Kessler in the first round, but the "Viking Warrior" came right back in the second and closed the show with a single left hand in the fourth - which put Green down on his back and out cold.

other than his jab, green's best punch is his left hook
he's not an awful offensive fighter, green. he can punch and he's awkward.
he threw that last left hook a little wide and a little from his left pocket. it's a bad habit he's got. abraham's a great example of a guy who lets his hands travel far too low
kessler threw a shorter one and green's head and body turned into it.
devastating knockout. just got the chance to see the full fight today. not a bad little scrap.
his head hit the canvas very hard. it will certainly be a candidate for fight of the year this year.
The KO was sweet and yes. The fight was a very good one as Well.
The ko was beautifully set up by jab to the right fist which made the guard drop a little. Then half a step forward and kabooom..
