    Thank **** for that. I've been thinking I was going loopy the last few weeks. Kessler will be a huge threat to Froch for a few rounds but Abraham will not be

    Abraham doesnt get enough love but now he is overated all of a sudden. the guy finished taylor with that 1-2. People think froch has a granite chin yet abraham didnt get put down. People think froch has power yet he just about got the tko if not for 12 seconds. Abraham didnt need the ko yet got it by brutal fashion. Froch needed that ko to win. Dan i love you mate but your love for froch is misguided. He will be shown up in his next 2 fights for his sloppy manner in which he fights. You will hear froch's bubble burst from copenhagen in manchester mate trust me...:good

    Kessler does the fundamentals so well that it doesn't matter if this fight is in Copenhagen, Timbuktu or Nottingham - Kessler's style is all wrong for Froch. Kessler bases everything on his jab and very solid right hand and Froch is wide open for it with the way he carries his hands low.

    I can't see this fight lasting for 12 rounds without Froch visiting the canvas.

    Froch has a lot of heart and fight though so I can see him lasting the 12. He'll have a few moments but he'll know he's been outclassed after a wide points decision.

    A Kessler stoppage win would be impressive and see him back to his best.

    I was saying copenhagen cos that is where the fight is most likely going to be held, also people may feel agrieved voting for kessler on points in nottingham after the direll fight.

    :lol:

    Kessler may well beat Froch but I dont see Abraham doing so mate.

    If Froch gets beat by Kessler I doubt it very much he'd be stopped. Couple this with th fact that Froch is a a very confident/arrogant young man I dont see him being troubled by it going into the Abraham fight.

    Mate i heard a very stromg whisper off my mate martin gethin (fights on hennessey bills now and then and knows many of the stable) and he said abraham v froch is more likely to take place in the uk than germany, apparently hennessey is willing to pull out all the stops cos he is worried that froch wont get the decision in germany.
    Im praying the fight will be held here:smooch

    Any information on Kesslers ability to take a solid punch?

    Would be good that. I like Kessler and think he is ok but I think he'll get beat by Ward. Wards my pick for the tourny winner :good

    I'm a huge fan of Kesslers style,a combination of sound boxing skills and a killer instinct.
    No disrespect to Perdomo but it will be very interesting to see how he reacts to getting hit by a world class puncher.

    i don't think you can compare taylor fights,taylor against abraham was waaaaayyyyyyyy more wary than against froch,who wouldent after getting ko'ed like he did.when taylor opened up on the rare occasions against abraham,he not like it,big time,especially body shots(not the bollock shots:hey),and froch punchs will go round and through abrahams guard,not pitter patter shots like taylor hit him with.
    ****,but thats my opinion,and im usually wrong:lol:

    Its your opinion mate and i appreciate it, trust me when i say that abrahams guard is as strong as the romans tortoise formation. froch will not open abraham up and will not get through with any punches. Abrahams arms are so long that he can cover his chin and waist at the same time due to the fact he is fairly short (which helps his defence). IMO froch will take the first 4-6 rounds and then abraham will come on strong and open up froch. only time will tell, the biggest influence on this whole fight is where it is held. In germany abraham will get the decision on points without any doubt, for froch to win he needs to be in uk or us and steal the first 8 rounds and then just relax abit and keep a tight defence.

    Kessler on points, he might even get the knockout if Froch walks about with his chin up in the air like he usually does.
