    Why do people keep mentioning Kessler's 'ring rust'. Froch will be his third fight in about six or seven months, how will he be rusty?

    Aye, this is strange, as Kessler will have fought more recently than Froch, and just had a tune up not too long ago.

    Frochs chance against Kessler lies in a "surprise" attack where Froch throws everything including the sink against Kessler. That way he might catch Kessler with a lucky punch. It is more likely though that Froch gets seriously tagged during such an all-out attack. I'll give Froch a 2.

    Froch is very predictable and that is no good against Kessler. Froch is wide open for Kesslers counterpunches and Kessler has decent enough footwork to keep his distance all night.
    The posters who think that Froch will be able to drag Kessler into a brawl are really not that smart.
    I predict a wide ud for Kessler.

    As far as Froch chances go I give him 1 out of 10. That's a punchers chance.

    Depends if Froch manages to provoke Kessler into a tear-up. Not beyond the realms of possibility since Kessler is an aggressive and proud man. If this happens I'd say 50/50 if Kessler sticks to his boxing, Froch has less chance.

    3-10.

    30% chance is believable.
