    In it he claims that if Allan Green lands one left hook on Kessler he will knock him out. How could anyone make such an outlandish claim? Who has Green KO'd?

    One left hook from Green ends the fight? Green's record is ****, he's only KO'd stiffs and he's been taken to a 10 round distance by nobodies yet he ends Kessler with a single punch?

    Maybe Peter Strauss lost a lot of money on Kessler:p But i agree that article is biased

    Oh. Paul Strauss it is

    wasn't a very well-written article and he clearly had an axe to grind.

    Ward will be landing plenty of headbutts on Green and Ward's referee will help protect him as well.

    Probably because Kessler looks like he will get knocked out by someone who will punch. Froch and Kessler looked slow as molasses.

    Obviously they decided to fight instead of running, clinching, holding, falling on canvas, complaining, headbutting, bitching and whining.

    It did not occur to him that Kessler might adopt a different strategy against Green than against Froch? I don't think that Kessler wins his next fight by default though. Green seems to have some qualities.

    This.

    Hell, Kessler hadn't worked the body in ages before this fight. I was very pleased with it.

    It was a very clever move. Froch would have had the wind to finish Kessler down the stretch if he hadn't gone to the body from round 1. Much respect to Froch. He always comes to the fight in top shape.

    Just finished watching the Froch-kessler fight. Froch got screwed but like Dirrell before him he has only himself to blame. He didn't fight with any urgency until the end of the fight and Kessler always looked like he wanted it more.

    The shame of Paul Strauss. After the way things turned out with Green, I just wanted to point this out again.
