I think Carl Froch is a lot better than his performance against Dirrell, think he had a bad day. Expect something better when he faces Kessler...
Agreed. I heard somewhere before that fight that Froch wanted to outbox Dirrell because people just thought he was a slugger after Pascal and Taylor, which was never gonna happen with a guy who has the speed of Dirrell. It could be the best time to fight Kessler now or the worst.
well as it turns out, if dirrell would have just let his hands go from the opening bell, i think Froch would have been in trouble. Froch was hurt in the fight. I like Froch and think his seeming willingness to fight anyone is great for the sport. then seeing how poorly kessler fought (not getting into headbutts, etc.), who knows? maybe he has more of a shot against kessler than i thought.
I've heard some tards write him off in this tourney when he's yet to even lose. The guy looked pretty garbage against Dirrell, but that's because of the manner Dirrell fought. And I use the term 'fought' in the loosest possible sense. It's damn near impossible to look good against a slickster that runs away, spoils and slips for practically the entire fight. A fight with Kessler is Froch's sort of fight.
Kessler vs Froch is going to be the best fight of the tournament if you ask me. To jab straight right fighters who only come forward. Lots of power from both and they will be swinging away. I think we are guaranteed a KO. It is also redemption. For Froch the Dirrel fight did not go to plan and for Kessler well he lost and pretty badly. Im going to pick Froch but I know Kessler will rise to the occasion
