    Nope, the difference is greater in the latest measurments.

    Froch: 76"

    Kessler: 73"

    Previous measurements were made by different people etc. These measures are made by the Showtime people at their photo shoots. So should be much more reliable.

    Huge difference really.

    My thoughts on the reach difference?

    It just means that Froch will be more suited to reach-around scenes after he gets beaten badly, has to retire and take up making gay porn movies to make any money.

    Longer reach can always be an advantage, but only if you know how to use it the best way. Imo Froch seems to be a bit to slow and predictable to make it a big problem for Kessler! Seen it so many times in Kessler fights by now, the only thing that can cause Kessler huge problems is speed and change of style! And Froch got non of that.
    Carl is a big strong guy with power and heart. But i really feel he`s gonna get in big trouble with Kesslers jab and speed tonight

    No affect at all. Kessler is faster, so it is pretty much insignificant.

    Very bad picture. Bad angle, look at their feet. And Froch is a little bit taller when they are face to face.

    I think that Kessler has more mass than Froch, but Froch seem to have a heavier frame. If Froch were to put on as much muscle mass as Kessler he would be fighting at light heavy.

    Just my thoughts.
