I think it will be a hard fought battle for 6-8 rounds and it will be close on the cards however when the pace begins to slow down slightly this will favor Froch. Froch will begin to land his straight rights and right uppercuts and stop Kessler late on.
I like both men, I fancy Kessler and I am maybe a bit biased. But one thing is for sure, if Kessler is to lose, I won't feel bad.. because I absolutely admire Carl Froch.
Can't wait. I'm really amped up for this fight and hope it will be an amazing fight with good scenes on both sides.
I agree as Froch wears down opponents with hard accurate shots throughout the fight and he is able to maintain that at a steady pace for 12 rounds.
I think it will be a good fight beings that they are both tough as nails. I think that Froch will make it rough for Kessler early on with agressive tactics, but as Kessler starts to settle into a rythm I think that he will land on froch enough to force a mid to late round stoppage.
If I have to pick one I'll go with Kessler. He must be incredibly desperate for a win and a KO, too. I think he may be too much for Froch within the first 3-4 rounds.
Ive favoured Froch for the last couple of weeks to beat Kessler, after the weigh in i almost changed my opinion but its easy to forget how nervous froch always looks at these times.
Not if Kessler keeps up the pressure. This isn`t Jermain Taylor! Keesler been hurt before but never been down Froch should be more concerned on his own defence tonight
Froch certainly has a puncher's chance, but Kessler has only lost against fighters who outboxed him (Calzaghe and Ward). Sorry, but I don't see Froch's boxing skills matching up to Kessler's. I think Froch's defense is not that great. He is very easy to hit and Kessler is very motivated for this match. I say Kessler stops Froch in Round 8.
its weird, for someone when in the ring displays balls of steel, he gets so nervous and worried looking
