    The speed advantage will be noticable. Not a big difference but easily noticable, like JT (who has just above average handspeed). Froch has below average handspeed and kessler will seem fast and sharp.

    Kessler has fast feet but not fast at everything. He can bounce in and out fast (half step) but not side to side or outside of a step back.

    Kessler is gonna be on his game and KO carl the slowbra froch.

    good point, but what about now????, i will support Kessler until the end but i have more than an inkling that he isnt the guy who fought Andrade anymore.

    Making too much of an issue on speed Kessler is faster but not enough thats its going to overly trouble Froch like Dirrell. Rememeber Froch has fought a few faster opponents now and he is good at nullifying this advantage. I dont think your going to see Kessler doing a nice flurry then moving away so fast Froch cant catch him.

    Froch is one of the fastest boxers ever. His technique is flawless and the guy has yet to get knocked down.jk

    In all seriousness I think Kessler is faster but I doubt his speed trouble Froch's constant pressure.
