    Abraham because he's younger and hungrier

    Kessler for me.

    I predict a Ward-Kessler rematch in the Super Six finale.

    Froch and Abraham are going to knock seven shades out of each other and one of these bangers may very well not see the finish. Both are very durable but there will be no running in this contest and I can see a lot of heavy shots being landed.

    I can't really agree with this. Abraham has power alright, but it's not underrated, everyone knows he has power. I still think Kessler has the beating ofhim though.

    To beat Kessler IMO you need speed and pressure. Calzaghe had it, Ward had it. Froch had the latter but not the former, Mundine had the former but not the latter. Abraham, though a fine fighter doesn't do either exceptionally well and that's why I still think Kessler beats him despite looking to have lost a step.

    I think Kessler has regressed somewhat. He's not as fast as he used to be and he gets hit with far to many punches. I do however still think that Kessler has enough speed, jab and workrate to stay out of the ragne of the abrahammer to ease out a comfortable win on points.

    I'm pretty sure that's not the case. Do you have a source?
