First, Kessler has won 3 times in a row by KO.. Okay bums.. So what... Okay here we go.. Froch is gonna try the same style from the Bute fight. Froch is gonna Rush/leap forward towards Kessler and try to let his hands go, and Kessler fires either a hard left hook or a simple hard straight right jab at the same time when Froch leaps in.... Kesslers Hook OR jab will connect.. Sorry Froch fans.. But Kessler has full vision this time... Froch goes down or gets very hurt and Kessler will finish it.. What round? hmmm... 5th... Now flame me
I don't think Froch will fight like this. I think Froch would try to fight at length like he did against Abraham. Froch has the longer reach and will think he can control the fight from a distance. He would only jump in if he thinks he has Kessler hurt. Kessler will have to find a way to take Froch's long reach advantage away from him. Last time he did it by closing the distance by going forward, and fighting mid-range with a lot of hooks. This worked, but is a strategy which entails a night of hard fighting. Kessler should imo. devise an alternative plan A to take Froch's reach advantage away. And the close-quarters hook battle should be plan C or D.
Froch will roast Kessler in a rematch.Froch had Kesslers number in the first fight but chose to posture and pose after landing one or two big shots rather than throw punches for 3 minutes of each round.Kessler won by being busy. If anybody is being stopped,i'd pick Froch to TKO Kessler,Kesslers corner will save him from being stopped by the ref.
Like last time, where he ended up frustrated and shouting at Froch the entire fight. While Froch kept saying "he's killing me to the body". and after the fight... "killing me to the body" became "the ash cloud is to blame".
I think Kessler takes it by decision again... His precision looks more like what it was in 06/07, and I think that is going to be the key.
Kessler was the one on ***** Street against Green. Really can't see Froch getting stopped. If Kessler wins, it's by decision again.
His precision has definitely improved back to a high level. The weird thing is that this may not be an advantage. Last time he put all precision and timing aside and fought like a mad-mad going forward almost the entire fight. That is actually a good way to negate Froch's reach advantage. Froch likes a lot of distance to use his long punches.. and even to have space to rush in. So Kessler may be less likely to go forward in a work frenzy now that his eyes are working. On the other hands it of course could be a big advantage for KEssler that his eyes are working again.
iirc froch actually did exactly that in their first fight. Kessler had a hard time reaching frochs face and instead he went downstairs with the straight right. After the 2 or 3 round, where froch told his corner, that those shot hurt him, kessler had an easier time going upstairs and Hiro. No, kessler will not stop froch, he might hurt him, but i cant se anyone stopping froch frim 168-175. Very good chin, great recovery and extreme will power.
Im just looking forward to Ward-Kessler 2. As of right now Ward is close to the second coming of Jesus. And he isnt worth it. Kessler will KO Ward if they ever meet again.
Kessler was lucky to win the first time. He shoe shinned his way to vicotry. Froch is a better fighter now. Close fight but Froch is going to take this one on points.
Being able to see straight is propably one of the most important things in boxing. Actually it beats speed.
