does anyone still think Kessler could have beaten Abraham at 168 ?

    :lol::happy:hi::D:tong:think:huh:yep:deal:hey

    abraham may just be his first stoppage loss.
    or at least a comprehensive career shorting full distance long beating defeat.

    I used to think that Kessler was the one man in the super 6 who had just too much for Abraham. Now I feel Abraham is in a good position to win the tournament. Dirrell and Ward will be difficult, but Abraham's tight guard forces every fighter to come close at some point if they want to win. If Taylor's jab just landed on gloves all night, I doubt anybody can use a jab and boxing from the outside effectively against Abraham. Ward and Dirrell have the speed to get in and out, but I doubt they can do it all night. Kessler will still be a tough opponent for Abraham, but he will land his bombs and Kessler probably has never been hit that hard.

    Abraham and Ward fight nothing alike.

    I like Kessler , so I fear for him when he fights AA....

    I think Abraham's style will work very well against Kessler , but not as well as it will work against Froch.

    Froch is the big underdog in this tournament, IMO. Kessler, Ward and Abraham all have styles to beat him - and he's already lost a majority of rounds against both Dirrell and Taylor.

    Kessler-Abraham shouldn't be impacted by the outcomes of Group Stage 1. It still is what it is.

    yep... I think Ward, but especially Kessler and AA have a great chance to KO Froch

    Kessler was exposed...and not just because he was beaten,its was HOW he was beaten..Kessler was beaten EASILY...The supposed "Best Supermiddleweight in the world that was going to win the whole tournament" should have not been defeated so easily..

    I always knew he was overhyped

    Why not just keep the choice to yes or no?

    If someone thinks Abraham wins, they also have to say Kessler is a "mere exposed hype-job"

    I think Abraham wins, but Kessler is a decent fighter who can mix it up with most.

    The only real obstacle for Abraham will be Ward and Dirrell due to their difficult style. Abraham does not lose a "who is tougher" match to Kessler or Froch.

    Why not? A fight with AA would be totally diffeent than a fight with Ward....Kessler was beaten up but that does not determine the outcome of a future fight with AA
