    Despite Kessler losing to Ward I think his superior accuracy and technique wins this.

    Both guys look to be equal in terms of strength and power but Kessler, despite his own inadequacies, just has more to offer.

    I guess a lot of it depends on Kessler's state of mind after the loss!

    Who's picking who and who should be favourite?

    froch only because kessler's confidence is shot to pieces and i think froch has just a bit more of everything

    Kessler easily, seems he has trouble with speed which Froch has none of.

    Do you think Froch is faster, boxes better or has better technique?

    Tough one to call at the moment. Calzaghe & Ward have shown how to beat Kessler. But Froch, for as much as I like him & his attitude, only seems to fight one way, gloves down, throwing one punch at a time, often taking a couple to land one. If Froch was busier, knew how to cut a ring off, kept his gloves up and threw combinations id have no hesitation in picking him to win, but as it is I go for Froch to win a very close possibly contraversial decision.

    Yeah I agree UNLESS Kessler is mentally a wreck I think the 'normal' Kessler will be Froch. But I think it's gonna be a good one with both looking to trade/fight, matchup I think it might be the best/most exciting so far in the tourny.

    Kessler late KO or wide UD.

    I just think that kessler's speed and coordination will win him this fight by a fairly wide scorecard. It seems the only style that kess cannot deal with is a slick and swarming style. And froch..................well, you know.

    this is a interesting fight. On one hand you have Froch who is just gonna keep coming and throwing the heat. On the other hand you have Kessler who a one time looked to be the best in the class. I think Froch can beat kessler if he sticks to keeping the pressure on, throwing lots of body shots, fighting ont he inside and makeing kessler fight backing up. For kessler its all about his mental state and also improving on what his downfall has been in his 2 loses...inside fighting and havinga plan B when his jab and right hand pattern fail him. I am picking Froch because he has more confidence but I like both guys and both are fun to watch

    I like both also, but neither seem to fight on the inside

    Kessler will be on home turf and will be spurned on by 1000's of mad danes. Froch is over rated and is inferior to Kessler in almost every department. For me Kessler wins via UD or late knock out.

    froch. also i think kessler does have marginally less power then froch. a sparring partner whop both of them trained with said froch hit the harder of the two.

    Even before the Ward fight I thought Kessler was overrated and Froch underrated. I think Froch wins this fight by SD. Froch is not bad, but he loses to Ward and Abraham, although I think with Abraham it would be a much better fight than people think.
