Kesslers former coach Richard Olsen encourages Kessler to stop...

Froch does not have an excellent chin,he was put down by Taylor and hurt by Dirrell,it's not bad by any means but his fans put way too much emphasis on his "granite" chin.

 

If memory serves me correctly,Froch did not exactly blow away Dirrel in his last fight either.Based on their last performances,it should be a close and exciting fight.

 

i don't think kessler is shot yet, and even if his best days are behind him, he should still have enough to beat a slow and crude froch. maybe i'm bias because i find froch and his mom to be absolute ****s after watching fight camp 360. froch's girlfriend is the typical pretty girl that like assholes syndrome.

 

I'd say he's eroded physically. Maybe only 10-20% but its enough when he's got an upright style to be costly. Back injuries probably contributed + time out of ring.

 

I have to agree with this, as I've been saying all along, Kessler wasted his best years with his contractual hassles with Palle. Even so he doesn't have the warrior instict to hang with someone like Froch. I can see an even fight for four round until thnigs start to get ragged and Froch starts to unload. I predict a TKO at round six or seven.

For me Kessler is just a gym warrior.

 

Has everyone here forgotten that Froch got completely outclassed by a shot Taylor? Even if deteriorated, Kessler is better than Taylor at every aspect of the sport. He dominates a limited Froch.

 

or maybe he looks like Andrade did vs Kessler, another fighter with the attributes you mentioned above

the one fight memory club will tell you Andrade is a joke though

 

This is the bottom line here.

 

I agree with the coach, and I also think that Kessler is done, from what I've seen recently. At least, on the championship level. I feel that Froch will beat him now, but a few years ago, Kessler would have outboxed him.

 

Ward is the biggest jerk in the tournament. Hypocritical Jesus-lover who punches people for a living.

 

If he loses to Froch, then maybe he should bail. The Bute-Miranda winner would be a good replacement.

 

Well after the Ward fight i said that
he either got old or threw the fight. We shall see which it is, though this leans toward the got old ...

 

Has enough to beat Froch. Froch's getting ko'ed!:happy

Froch is looking more mediocre the more he fights world level guys, he's a Euro guy with a lucky punch and chin.
