Froch vs. Kessler

I see Froch has agreed to fight in Denmark. Should he win I imagine he will start baiting Calzaghe once again.

 

He has the super six to finish first.

He has actually been fairly quiet about Calzaghe since he retired.

Could see him possibly giving it a go if he won it.

But Froch has said himself that Joe is in a well earned retirement!

 

Head says Kessler heart says Froch.
I'm going with Froch more out of hope than expectation

 

I hope Froch pulls it off, what a fight this could turn out to be, this could be a war

 

vice versa, but i agree it should be great:smoke

 

Kessler takes this, He's shown that he can come back after a defeat before so should be able to handle froch

 

Kessler is clearly a superior technician - and will have the benefit of home support.

With that said, Froch still has that '0' which - mentally - means something. Plus he's demonstrated an ability to take considerable punishment and still come on strong at the end of a fight...

Kessler is coming off a loss - but (and please feel to correct me if I'm wrong), he's never been knocked down. And I think if Froch is going to win, he's going to have to be the first person to do that...

 

I agree, his punches are straighter and hes faster.

 

Correct he's never been down.

The taylor knockdown is the first time Froch has ever been down pro or amateur.

 

Froch is so underrated it is not even funny. He get no respect from anyone.

errr... Kessler UD for me though

 

ward studied the calzaghe fight and noticed calzaghe sussed kessler out half way through the fight and followed suit,froch needs to watch calz and ward and see what he needs to do.
​

 

To me it seems he's overrated if anything. He's extremely lucky not to have 2 losses on his ledger(taylor, dirrell)......and does nothing particularly well in the ring. Add a perceived big mouth to that mix and..... you get a guy who gets more attention than he deserves.

 

I would love to go and i am really thinking about it, how many cobra fans are expected to head over?

 

Froch by stoppage. I think Kessler will be easily led into a punch up, something I think Froch holds the advantages - he punches hard, has a superb chin and his will to win is amazing.

 

If Taylor could outbox Froch for 11 rounds, damnit, so can Kessler. And note that Kessler has never been down, he doesn't really gas and he almost never loses defensive focus.
