    Froch beats Kessler by late rounds stoppage, he's going to go to war with Kessler then finish stong at the end. I don't think Kessler is strong enough to stop Froch. (maybe i'm wrong)

    Well it really depends on whether Kessler allows this fight to turn into a toe to toe battle. If he does then he loses.

    But Kessler will be able to give it his best all 12 rounds. His stamina isn´t an issue as it is for Taylor. i do not think Froch will be able to break him down as he is known for.

    I don't think Kessler will have a choice, Froch is going to push the pace, and force Kessler to fight or get knocked out early ... Kessler doesn't seem to be the person to back down - he has more to lose, which will cause him to brawl (if needed) ... Froch is awkward and he has a long reach ... he'll keep a safe distance Kessler isn't coming with any special effects.

    Well if Kessler hasn't completely lost his legs then he can move all night like he did with Andrade. That fight was A+ for Kessler. But like I said it comes down to Kessler, his confidence and whether he has slipped too much.

    I highly doubt Kessler will get a ko inside two.

    Kessler knows he needs to win this fight for the sake of his boxing career, so he will be motivated.

    Even knowing this I see Kessler boxing his way to a 117-111ish type decision. Maybe Kessler will ko him late, maybe.

    Ali used to do it but it backfired against him when he had to face Frazier so I agree with you. There's already enough pressure going to the ring as it is so predicting ko's is doing too much.

    You are all reading too much into this statement. He said it as a joke.

    God bloody hell,don`t think that came from him but if it has even if Froch sticks his chin out,which he does it won`t be a 2 rd win. He`ll win on points.

    Well I think you have to be Danish to understand the joke. It just sounds weird to Americans or Englishmen.

    I don't know if Kessler will win, but for the record Kessler > the Taylor that Froch fought.

    Yeah humor doesn't translate well :D

    :good Taylor wasn't exactly a world beater at that time of his career. Froch will test Kessler and we will see whether he still can hang with the top at SMW.
