I got a feeling Froch is going to beat that ass...too many people enamored of skill sets around here while strength power guts and heart take a back seat. Boxing is fighting and Froch is a fighter wont suprise me a bit am looking foward to this one.
I think Kessler takes it. In fact i'd lay some money on it. What are the odds? gambling sites are blocked at work
I hear you, but it's not like Kessler is deficient in strength, power and guts. He has serious technical limitations, perhaps no great ring intelligence, but has he ever shown a lack of heart? In terms of power, Kessler and Froch seem close.
Kessler hates fighting against fast, akward boxer types. He owns against slowish slugger types. Froch is in for a beating. Kessler will struggle more against Dirrell and Taylor than him based on styles. I think Kessler might even beat Abraham.
It'll be a real dissapointment for me if Kessler lose this one. No disrespect for Froch, he's a good champion, but he's tailor made for Kessler. I predict a 11 or 12 round KO. If Kessler is the one he was once, he'll struggle no more than he did against Andrade
Goign to be very interesting to see where Kessler's career goes after the Ward fight. I am picking Froch to beat him by decision. Froch's workrate and heart might be enough to beat Kessler who will no doubt still be feeling his last loss. Saying that i know there is a real chance of Kessler's power troubling Froch because as Dublynflya said. Should be a good fight anyway, looking into getting tickets for it.
I think Kessler will be better for this fight than he was for the Ward fight,he had been in a few easy matches and despite the fact that he lost to Ward getting back in with a world class fighter will have done him good.I pick Kessler to win on points.
I fancy Kessler will win this one but wouldnt be shocked either if Froch does, should be a good fight.
Let's look at a hypothetical situation. Pull Kessler out and put Froch, Abraham, Pavlik, or even Jermain in with Ward. What do you think would happen about the 3rd time Ward rushed in low to set-up another head butt? We've seen Kessler completely bamboozled by a quick/slick fighter in Calzaghe, and against Ward he had NO IDEA how to respond to Ward's dirty tactics. The man may very well have less ring intelligence than Jermain Taylor.
When ppl say Froch isnt Ward and Froch will be tailor made for Kessler... Who is to say that maybe Kessler isnt a taylor/dirrel and need any luck and will actually be tailor made for Froch?
The same Jermain Taylor that didn't know that what you put in your body affects how you feel? OUCH!!!!
The thing is that there is no possible comparison between Ward and Froch. I don't know how that beating will affect Kessler but i know Froch will be there to be hit (unlike Ward). This is a fight i can't wait to see. Picking Kessler by late Ko but wouldn't be surprised at all if Froch wins it.
