Froch currently: Kessler is a proud man, he'll stand and trade. Froch after Kessler embarasses him: He ran. .
I predicted that Abraham would beat Taylor and that Dirrell would beat Froch. Now I'm predicting that Kessler will lose his next two fights against Ward and Froch. Dirrell will lose to Abraham. Andre Ward will emerge victorious from this tournament. He is very versatile, comparable to Joe Calzaghe. He is very agile and adapts to any situation. Kessler will be at a stylistic disadvantage when he fights Froch. You need to be able to dodge or slip the jab in order to beat Froch. Kessler is going to get hit all night and probably get KO'd.
Styles makes fight............. If Ward is that good, he could beat Kessler, but to say that Froch will beat Kessler?. I like Froch alot, but style wise, he will be in big trouble. Froch, to slow missing with an inch only to be counterpointed hard all night.
I think we all know by now that Froch is just a trash-talker. It's his nature. He can't even help himself. I favor Kessler highly but to address this trash talk, Kessler has been rocked before. It's not like it's impossible that a hard puncher will knock him out. He's been in 43 fights to Froch's 26. He's got more miles on him.
Nah, Froch (32) is older than Kessler (30) and Froch has taken more punishment. Kessler has hardly lost a round (except versus Calzaghe). Look at Kessler's face compared to Froch's!
I don't know what kind of punches Froch has saved for Kessler. The Dirrell-Froch fight didn't show us much. But I do know that Froch will be hit over and over again against Kessler. Froch is too slow to avoid Kesslers straight right.
Ring age and real age aren't the same thing. Kessler's face doesn't tell you what damage has been done internally. He's taken some good shots in his time, a lot more fights, more rounds, etc. But, maybe you're right and Froch has had more damage. All I'm saying is Kessler can be hurt, has been hurt, is more likely to get hurt as the years go by. Froch has only briefly been on a championship level. Kessler was a champion in 04. Froch just since last year.
In a perfect boxing world kessler easily beats Ward as he is expected then humiliates Froch in front of his home crowd!!!
