Anyone else think Kessler is on the slide? (or half way down it?)

    I dont get why Kessler is being underestimated for this fight, watch the 1st fight Kessler won a close decision. Carl wasnt hometowned at all.

    Carl bounced back, hes got his confidence back. But, hes no better than the fighter who fought Mikkel the 1st time. Probably slower.

    People are getting carried away with carl now. The Bute blast out was great, but Kesslers a legit tough world class fighter. Kesslers no more faded than Carl is.

    I agree that Kessler is no more faded than Froch. If anything, Froch has had the bigger wars in his career and less rest than Kessler. It's not like Froch has never been injured he had a perforated ear drum when he fought Kessler I think the first time and has taken plenty of punishment in the ring and is actually older than Kessler.

    It's a 50/50 fight I can't really say I could pick either fighter with any confidence as both can win this fight.

    I think he could be on the slide but is still very dangerous, Froch should avoid going all-out to war early in this fight IMO and instead look to come on strong in the middle and late rounds.

    Its got nothing to do with the Bute fight. I think this is Kessler cashing out.

    Slipped?? He was shaken badly and did very well to recover quickly and end the fight.
