    Froch was always going to struggle with Dirrells style and speed. I think Kessler is perfect for Froch, though i dont subscribe to the whole Kessler has slipped and not a top boxer anymore as he is, i just think this is Frochs perfect opponent. Froch TKO 8.

    You're absolutely right. I see Froch rabbit punching, back handing and body slamming his way to another UD. Lol.

    It's going to be tough I think.

    A few years back, I would have said that Kessler would lay him out but now, I'm not so sure. Kessler took such a shellacking from Ward and Froch's confident is always at an all time high, and he is a tough ******* on top of it all.

    I can't believe how amateurish Froch looked against Direll! He may be tough and may have heart, however his winning streak will end at the hands of Kessler.

    Best match up of the whole thing two guys who come forward with jabs and crosses are offensive fighters who hit hard. This fight will be exciting. The winner is hard to determine since they fight so similar. I'll take Kessler's experience over Froch's youth

    Kessler isn't mentally strong enough to stand up to Froch's attack. When things don't go his way and Froch makes it a dirty fight he'll shut down. Froch will take Kessler to the deep waters and drown him.

    Don't go to war with Froch. He's too tough and too hard.

    It's the speed Carl has trouble with and Kessler's just not that fast.

    If you take the robotic Kessler out of his program then he shuts down. He can't deal with adversity in the ring. His fight with Ward showed you all this.:deal Froch had to be insipred by what he saw in the Ward fight because a dirty and rough fight is right up his alley. Froch will rough up and be too much for the mentally challenged Kessler. Froch by late round TKO is my pick.:deal

    Exactly and it's one of the reasons why he's one of my favorite fighters in the game. I hope he wins the Super 6.

    100% correct. Kessler has always been taylor-made for Froch, even before the Ward defeat.

    Froch will always have trouble with slicksters, not the Kesslers and Abrahams of this world. Froch has been the favourite right from the beginning for good reason

    Kessler is Froch's kind of fighter a guy he can just trade with all night and drag into a war. It could go either way but I give Froch the slight edge given his proven Spartan like toughness, mental strength and stamina. I think Kessler could crumble late on.
