Agree on Kessler part. :? He is a seriously a good guy who is also a wonderful fighter but he was almost as dejected as me seeing him lose. He got over the loss to Calzaghe. Hopefully can do same here. But why did you figure Froch was an *******??? He looked like a pretty cool guy. Obviously of them all Abraham has the most badass laid back chill type of a guy but never saw anything from Froch that made me think he was a *****? Andrey
I think Kessler was just shellshocked immediately post fight, looks more confident now, check out this video: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpkYV1P9PaQ"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpkYV1P9PaQ[/ame]
Abraham is a tough, hard-hitting fighter and I'm picking him to win this whole tourney, but based on what I saw from him outside of the ring in episode three, he's as dumb as a rock. Only Froch and Kessler (in spite of the language barrier) came across as articulate and smart.
Come on now techks! You gotta wake up man! For Christ sake. Look at Kessler's face in the video. Look at the stitches above both eyes. Look at the cuts below his eyes. They weren't created by punches. Look at the fight video and you clearly see how they were created. A decent ref would have reacted to the major BS Ward was pulling in the ring. I take it you wanna make Ward look good. Fair enough. Just don't base it on the Ward-Kessler fight.
It was amazing seeing Abraham looking up at the clock in the last round, and then he went and got the knockout.
