    Head says Kessler wins but heart wants Taylor to come back and show us that he can be out warrior his opponent and not crumble under pressure.

    Kessler has a lot to live up to and I think some people may be disappointed. He beat Andrade (if that's a massive achievement) but lost convincingly to Calzaghe. He ain't blown anyone away since. He always looks good but looks can be deceiving. All I'm saying is - who has tested him recently?

    Kessler wins it. Kessler is far than Froch will ever be and we saw what happened there.

    Breaks my heart to say this but Jermain has hit really low after the last loss, I was literally laughing at some of the combinations Froch was throwing against Taylor. Froch was throwing punches I have never seen before and was landing some of them. Couldn't help but think he learned to throw such punches shopping in Shepherd's Bush.

    I wouldn't be surprised if this tournament throws out a shocker like a Taylor win over the Dane. But you'd have to assume he'd gas and get taken out late on more often than not against special K.

    It's not an elimination tournament. Here's some freindly/fatherly advice for ya: Research and education comes before typing and commentary.

    If Jermain wins his first two fights, the tenor of a thread like this will change dramatically.
