    Froch actually has longer reach than Kessler hence his jab might work out well for him.

    Which is exactly what I think.

    I don't think AA will be able to handle the pace that froch will set him. Also Froch is gonna be the bigger man by a long way and his power is hurtful. I have never been totally sold on AA and the dirrell fight was not a supprise. Having said that I think Dirrell was fading and AA had started to look like he was going to catch him.

    It might do if he actually uses it, but he often seems reluctant to actually do so.

    So does that mean you will give me 20/1 on Froch win by TKO/KO???

    I'll take that all day.

    Which is a shame because his jab is actually quite good.

    i;ve got it as 50-50, should be an awesome fight. im just happy that people in america know who froch is - that alone is a great achievement for froch given his skills. go back a few years and i wouldnt believe he would be such a name. props.

    Yeah he can be frustrating because I think his jab is highly underated. Very similar to Haye's.

    He's always better when he uses his jab but Kessler should be able to outjab him most of the time. I think Froch will use his jab more of a range finder or to faint with it, setting up traps and taking Kessler by surprise. Froch cannot allow Kessler to get set in a rhythm or a pattern. He has to mix things up constantly. If he started straight out boxing using his jab, Kessler would soon take over, I think. Ironically, the very thing that puts Froch in danger against Kessler - his wild, crude, all-out style - might be the very thing that could help him gain an edge. If he is too conservative against Kessler, that's a mistake, I think.

    well he is slow, has a very poor defence, but his only world class talent is his heart, and has a good chin and power, so i think he has gone way above expectations to get to where is now. if he lost every single fight from now on i would give him A+ for achievements with his ability. a credit to boxing.

    I strongly believe that Abraham is explosive, technical, precise and hard enough a puncher to KTFO Froch mid rounds whatever Froch tries. I don't think he will wait for Froch to beat him up for 10 rounds before looking for the KO either. I think Abraham will take 2-3 rounds to find his range and see how Froch reacts and then he'll go for it.

    Interesting. I just think Froch will keep the pressure on non-stop. AA won't be able to handel that kind of pace. Also I think Carl will work him to the body like no-one has.

    It was just his self-belief and clearly his will to win. Also if you ask anyone who followed him during his amateur days they will tell you he has many more skills than he is given credit for.
