Kessler -180 Froch +150 Right now, Kessler is favored over Froch even though he is coming off of a loss to Ward and Froch is technically coming off a win. Before I throw down, I wanted some feedback.
Yes, I think the fight is as close to 50-50 as can be, but really the uncertainties are with Kessler - and if anything Froch should be the slight favorite.
the Kessler loss was very dubious considering the ref and the fouls. The Froch win was very controversial as well. Every fight in the tourney has been skewed the homers way. Why should this be any different? On top of that, Kessler is a far better boxer and you can be damn sure the ref isn't going to allow Froch to foul AT ALL. Kessler by KO. I will bet Kessler to win and if I could a little something on Kessler by KO.
people seem to think Kessler has more ways to win than Froch, maybe owing to Kessler's chin and power. Or maybe it's the venue and bookies feel it will go the distance. where's the fight being held?
If Kessler is 80% of what he used to be, he should be favored big. He's just the better boxer and Froch isn't slick like the two guys that have befuddled Kessler.
