    Kessler doesn't have much room to talk about Froch's lack of head movement!

    I think he's emphasizing the fact Froch has no head movement AND no guard to protect himself. If you don't have one you usually have the other.

    He also says Froch is "Slow", and "Open as a book"

    Froch needs to work and improve on his head, hip, shoulder and feet movement and try doing it faster, clearly he is not going to change his style now and have a high guard.

    Coming soon, more pearls of wisdom from Kessler :

    "I would not like to be eaten by a shark."
    "Joe Calzaghe is Welsh."
    "I believe the sun is hot."

    At the end of the day, Kessler is making a valid point.

    He's saying something about Froch's style purely to show us that he has been paying attention to the current scene......not trying to say 'hey, look I've noticed nothing you guys have'

    At least he keeps his hands up, Froch looks like a clown with his posture!

    Someone needs to have a quiet word in Carl Froch's ear to remind him that he isn't Roy Jones Jr and that it would probablly be prudent to put his hands up from time to time.

    A promoter's number one instinct is to pay the figthers as little as possible while pocketing the rest. The managers job should be to look out for their fighters best interests and get him the best deal possible,but here there's a cosy relationship between promoter and managment.

    There's a lot of money to be had in milking Kessler at home fighting bums.

    The same thing happened to John Duddy,he was fighting to packed houses in New York,but he was promoted/managed by a pair of crooks (His manager was 1 brother,while being promoted by the other).

    I hope they make this fight.Kessler is the best at the weight but Froch is right behind him.
