Kessler has been facing c level comp and still hasn't looked impressive while Froch has been fighting elite comp and has looked better except for his loss to Ward and even in that fight, he had good moments and made Ward earn the victory, especially late when Ward seemed a bit winded.
people did not know about the eye injury, after the fight kessler said the headbutts cause his vison to blur so maybe he sustain the injury in the fight. but no Kessler is in better shape than the last time he beat Froch so I don't see how he does not win again.
Sometimes people forget that Kessler has fought at World championship level since Carl Froch turned pro. There's much more mileage on his engine. Still there's nothing that suggests that Froch has found out a proper countermeasure to Kessler's pressure and bodypunching that was so successfull last time out.
You're right, I exaggerated. I still think he looked awful defensively against Bouadla. I know he's never been renowned for his head movement, but there was none in that fight and Bouadla was landing the jab at will.
all the kessler fanboys getting their excuses ready I see . kessler himself says hell be the fresher fighter
