    Who's everyone picking? More and more I see people going with Froch, but my view hasnt changed. Kess will win either by decsion, or late TKO. Froch's style still plays into his hands.

    I'm undecided. Kessler looked so bad against Ward that I think his best days may be behind him. The kessler that fought Calzaghe and schooled Andrade would eat Froch alive. However, I'm not sure that fighter still exists.

    ****. When you put it that way. Not to mention the fall out of the Calzombies if Kessler loses to Froch........ I'll stick with Kessler as a matter of style match up though. All he needs is a decent jab....

    I re watched the Ward fight, and Kessler wasn't as bad as he first looked - Ward was simply to smart and fast (and Wards semi-legal tactics didn't make things easy for him) - two things that Froch are not. Besides, Kessler had the balls to fight on for the last rounds dispite being nearly blind. So I doubt he's going to mentally break.

    I thinkt Froch might be completely exposed in this fight.

    I went with Kessler by decision because Froch has a good chin.

    Kessler's two losses came against guys who were very unorthodox. Froch ain't exactly a text book fighter:think

    That's not a prediction. It's just food for thought.

    im inclined to agree. but froch losing on points. other than that knockdown by taylor he had never hit the floor as a pro or an amateur.

    i think his chin deserves the benefit of the doubt

    these people though......

    look at some of the abraham threads. abraham exposed, abraham a bum blah blah blah

    im not even a fan of him or froch but the lack of basic knowledge about boxing astounds me.

    this is championship level fighting. elite fighting.

    - Calzaghe and Ward have skill they can show
    - Froch is more about brutal force, and definitely not textbook.
    - I'm not calling this one - can't envisage which way it will go.

    thanks for that. youve convinced me.

    no actually i have changed my mind. your another twat. styles make fights. small strengths and weaknesses are highlighted ant the elite level. kessler is all wrong for froch but losing to him proves only that.

    you dont get exposed at this level you just meet people that are as good or better than you.
