Judges and opponents (mainly Taylor) have gotten it done for Froch. This boxer is massively overrated. Yes good fighting spirit but that is about it. Limited offensive and defensive skills. Kessler should run right through Froch, Froch has only a punchers chance. I would need at least 5-1 to bet on Froch.
Yes, The UKs main claim for fame. The funny thing is that if Froch beats Kessler then Calzaghe's legacy will take a thorough beating and the UK will really have noone up there. If Kessler somehow wins the SS then Calzaghe's star will rise tremendously. So if Froch wins the UK will have to change hopes from Calzaghe (who then really doesn't have much hope since his best wins are then a geriatric Hopkins) to Froch! And I am not sure most Brits wish to hope for Froch to bring the UK honour. So a weird situation to be a UK boxing fan.
Whats wrong with Froch? why is he so hated? If he wins the supersix he will be greater than Calzaghe. He's young enough to become an ATG. That being said as much as I like Froch I don't see how he can beat Andre Ward even if he gets to the finals in the supersix.
There is no way Froch is taking a decision, he got outboxed v Taylor and if he wasnt the current champ, that Dirrell fight could have easily gone the other way. Also, the fight is in Denmark, and he was talking on Tuesday about wanting it to be postponed (cant be good for the concentration). In my mind its either going to be Froch by late KO, or Kessler via a wide UD.
I wonder how Kessler's cuts have settled down - he was pretty banged up against Ward. I think there is a big question mark over Kessler's confidence and will be placing a bet on a Froch win - probably late rounds TKO.
I have a tenner on Froch spread over five seperate bets of £2each at 33/1 for Froch to win in rounds 7,8,9,10,11
Think about it.. Kessler is a favorit to win this because: Froch wont beat Kessler on the inside cuz the judge wont allow it specially in Denmark. Froch wont beat Kessler with speed and skills. AND Froch WONT get a decission in Denmark and in other countries!! Kessler is to skilled and smart for that.. Only way Froch is gonna win is tko/ko even if Froch is way behind on the scorecards..
