    Will this fight adopt the open scoring, like Vitali's WBC fights?

    And if so, how will this affect the fight?

    I see Froch being behind early on so knowing this may get him to up his game and KO Kessler in the late rounds.

    Kessler's confidence will have taken a major knock after his demoralising defeat to Ward. I think Froch will win this, possibly even by KO or TKO.

    I agree that Froch could find himself down on the scorecards at the halfway mark, but his superior fitness will see him home like it did against Taylor and a late KO could be on the cards again!

    I can't believe the amount of people picking a Froch win for this fight. Kessler is going to destroy Froch, mark my words.

    Fair play, we'll see we'll see! Knowing my luck Froch will win by first round KO. :lol:

    I would rather it was mid to late.

    As if he does it in the first round everybody will just turn around and say that Kessler was finished before the fight.

    Also I'm going and would much rather see a battle than a first round KO.

    I really do feel Froch is going to do it though!

    Yeah, I think a war will be in the making. I mean both have great chins, punch hard, and like to fight. It should be a great atmosphere seeing it first hand too!

    The beauty of the Super Six is that there is no warm-up fight for Kessler for him to look good and get his confidence back. He's going straight in against a guy like Froch. This will either be a good or bad thing for the Dane. Froch should test this early by backing him up and jumping on him a bit just to see how his nerves are.

    Froch needs a much more polished and disciplined performance. But I can see gameplans going out the window ala Froch v Pascal. You hit me I hit you right back.

    This will come down to courage and power. It's a 50-50 fight. I'll hedge my bets until the week of the fight.

    Have had my flights and Hotel booked since early last week.

    Pretty much get a semi everytime this fight is talked about.

    I've just got a feeling we may be talking about Fight Of The Year 2010!

    An agressive fighter with poor defence, poor head and foot movement = the perfect opponent for Kessler.

    The question is how much the Ward defeat will have affected Kessler. If he's back on his game I think he'll be jabbing Froch's head off and stop him late in the fight.

    It's sure to be explosive anyway.
