Am i crazy for thinking Froch gets stopped relatively early against Kessler?

I dont think he will but I certainly hope he gets knocked the **** out. Froch is a ****.

 

I think Froch has already achieved loads with the limited talent he has. I'm sure Kessler will bounce back against him and put his superior talent on display.

I see it going 12 cause Kessler will not risk himself for a KO after his last loss but Froch will get quite pummeled in the process..

 

good analysis, i also think kessler is going to stop froch, although i think it will happen in 8 or 9 rounds, not early, froch may not have the chin to get himself through the fight but i think he dose have the grit and determination to at least, go a few rounds.

 

Kessler doesn't stop anyone who's good early. His power is vastly overrated.

 

I dont think so. Froch is well capable of taking a lot of punishment and his awkward enough not to allow Kessler to land easily. There is always a chance of him walking onto a punch of course.

 

thats the thing, froch isnt that good

 

yeah not good at all, just lucky i guess atsch

 

Its a pick em fight is this one but i don't see it ending early if there is a KO it will be around rnd 11 and id favour froch to KO Kessler

 

could happen, froch isnt much of a mover but in saying that kessler is also susceptible tot he right shot. io think its going to be a good fight.

 

How the **** ppl think peoples chin can "deteriorate" once theyve had to take a beating. You dont lose your tougness, if your tough you stay tough. e.g how marg has and gatti did his whole career. And even some if the old school like bugner and whepner.

Therefore Froch hasnt lost his chin. His chin is fundamental part of his game as his draws oponents in to a toe to toe battle and comes out on top. Having said that, I think fighting a danish god in his home town you have to knock him out to win on points. seriously guys, i think if froch doesnt knock him out he cant win and i dont know whether he can.

 

everyone is entitled to their opinion and you've given some sound reasoning so fair enough.

I however think Froch will win by either late round tko or UD. There's a lot of people (including myself) who though the answer to Froch's style would have been plain speed/elusiveness. We've seen though, that neither pascal/taylor/dirrell had what it takes to defeat Froch, even given how well off in the aforementioned they are (from a combined view at least).

I'm a big fan of Froch, and maybe I let this get in the way of my judgment slightly but I think he's very much underrated. His last wins are going to be giving him a huge psychological boost going in to this fight, and I think his confidence is very much genuine. He'll eat everything Kessler has to offer, perhaps be slightly behind coming into the latter rounds, but he'll have more than enough left in him to do what it takes to grab the win, be it by tko or points.

 

VERY lucky.

 

it's difficult to say, because kessler hadn't fought top opposition since calzaghe which was 2 years before the ward fight. kessler looked like **** against ward, and until he fights again we won't know if kessler has has gone down hill dramatically, was just rusty, or that ward is very good. i think it's a little bit of all those things.

i know ward and froch are completly different fighters but if he performs like that again i think froch will stop kessler late in the fight. he won't have to go looking for him that's for sure.

 

Yes.

If Froch is anything it is comparatively durable.
