    this could end up being a WBC/WBA unification

    I just watched the Kessler Sartison fight. Sartison is a pretty elusive boxer and a pretty good technician. I rate Froch worse in those departements. He may however get some good shots in. Before seeing the Sartison fight I would have said Kessler by near-shutout/KO - now I would say Kessler with Froch possibly troubling him on some occasions.

    Kessler would destroy Froch, he is just all wrong for him,.... a very good counter puncher, throws hard straight punches down the pipe, and also good at keeping his distance to control the fight to his pace, not to mention doesn't wilt down the stretch

    if Froch won as much as one single round i'd be very surprised

    Kessler via Decision, he is the only SMW Capable of beating Froch.

    I think that Froch is a very good fighter, but I think that Kesslers style is all wrong for Froch.

    Like another poster said Kessler is good at keeping his distance, is an excellent counter puncher, his good footwork will not allow Froch to cut off the ring and his conditioning is superb. In conclusion I think Froch will get outpointed clearly by Kessler.

    If Kessler is back to his pre-Calzaghe state.

    I think he'll win an easy one sided UD.

    I think this would be a more closely fought fight than many expect. Kessler hasn't been tested yet since he got beaten by Calzaghe then took a long period out. At the moment I'm going with Froch. I may very well change my mind after seeing how Kessler deals with Ward.

    Kessler shut out. Mikkel has no problem beating come forward guys with granite chins, he will not fade like Pascal and Taylor. He would make Froch look even more awful than he already does by keeping him off balance and tearing him up with straight rights, see Kessler vs. Andrade.

    Froch is cool, but i figure that Kessler will beat Froch the same way he beat Andrade. Kessler doesn´t tire and would counter Froch all night long. I hope they meet in the finals though.

    Stylewise this is a bad match-up for Froch.

    Kessler's straight punching, solid defence and booming right hand keep Carl at distance most of the night. Carl does well in the middle rounds, but keeps getting tagged and Kessler takes over late on.

    I see 9-3 for Kessler.
