    Saturday Kessler and Froch will meet again 3 years after their S6 classic in Denmark. Many people are saying that Kessler is on a decline, and that he will be knock-outed this time.

    Kessler has had a lot of setbacks due injuries, and looked rusty against Bouadla. But we have seen against Green and Magee that the killer instinct is still very good.

    Kessler have had very good sparring this time with 3 unbeaten fighter and I think he will be more accurate then in a very long time. Montoya (Kesslers trainer) have learned Kessler to find the best openings, and to use the very powerful bodyshots. Froch open defence could leave him gasping for air again.

    This will pose a major thread to Froch, and I think Kessler could punish this even more. Or maybe finish a very tired Froch before time.

    Can't see others at 168 be able to do that.
    Not even (Co)Ward

    Should be a very good fight. If Kessler is at his best he will definately KO Froch but if he shows any signs of decline he will lose

    I think he is the only one who has the potential to do so. But I doubt that he will.

    Kessel will shock Froch. Just imagin Frochs ego if he wins. The **** talking will be too much to handle for the forum.

    Groves could do it, that would be nice to see the ginger Brit retire Froch in front of his crowd.

    Kessler is probably the only one since Bute fights at LHW

    on the other side Froch is probably the only one who can Ko Kessler @ 168 too

    Kessler can win, for sure.

    However, I think the fight will be fixed for a close win for Froch, so there will be a trilogy.

    Hope Kessler dispenses with the need for a trilogy though.

    Yeah agree with ya'll

    Kessler's being severely underlooked by many. He's still a brutal punching monster. The vicious and hellacious bodyshots are an added worry for Carl

    Didn't show the ability to hurt him last time around.

    He can't be knocked out. Polski Iron!

    I was predicting a Kessler KO in the first fight and if anyone has the power to do it will be Kessler.

    But I suspect this fight will go to the scorecards like the first fight. Froch with home town advantage should be too much for Kessler this time. Froch on points in a close fight.

    His best chance of hurting Froch badly is to the body imo

    I think he could stop him with body shots, froch seems weak to the body.

    He had him on the back foot for most of the fight, while he never had Froch wobbling all over the ring, he did have him in trouble a few times.
