    Completely agree WhataRock. Good luck to The Beaver, but I wouldn't be game putting 3g on Kessler, who might just well be past his best.

    All you guys who say that this isn't a 100% gimme for Kessler need to pull your heads in.

    The Beave, teke, and I are gunna make a heap of free money on this one. Would have wished there'd be more on the "free money express" but I'm not about to go twisting guys arms on this one.

    Froch has a lot of ticker and carries his power late into fights. A few close early rounds and Kessler might start to doubt himself. Good luck to all punters, as I said I'm on Kessler on points, but wouldn't fall down from shock if Froch gets the nod.

    I't will kill me :think..... but I can't see this figth going the full distance, Froch is to easy to hit, or if not Kessler will die in the ring, it's make or break for him! Can't wait :bbb

    I can see this fight taking so many different paths..
    I can see Froch dominating Kessler just like Ward did, and possibly forcing the corner stoppage..
    I can see Kessler fighting Froch at a distance , with constant 1 2's connecting freely at Froch.. to a possible decision win, or ko'ing Froch.
    If taylor knocked Froch down, I'm sure Kessler can..

    Prior to the super6, I would have said Kessler no doubt.
    However, into the tournament, I think either man can do it..
    Just a question of which style will dominate the other..

    Also trying to pick a winner of this tournament is like going in circles,the favourite can change from stage to stage..

    Also, this tournament is missing Bute like the desert has missed the rain..It would otherwise have been explosive!

    I hope that helps :good

    I think Ward is the pick of the bunch so far. Hopefully the winner can fight Bute.

    I know Froch is dangerous and lets face it none of us has really seen what Kesslers punch resistance is like.

    If Froch lets Kess build up an early lead he is screwed,he has to come up with something different to just trying to land the big shots.Kessler wont get tired and i see him getting a mid round stoppage win as Froch is pulled out by the corner.

    Kessler could not stop Dingaan Thobela and he hit him plenty. He pounded on Sciaca and he took him 7. Kessler is a straight ahead decent boxer, with above average power. Jean Pascal and Jermain Taylor are harder punchers. Kessler and Froch both struggle with movers to a certain extent. But neither of them are movers. Kessler has good skills. Froch has enough skills to stay with him, power and desire to over power him, well that remains to be seen. But i think all you fellas saying mid round stoppage , early stoppage are in for a shock. If there is a stoppage barring cuts, it will be Kessler getting stopped.

    And we wont get to see what its like for at least another 3 months.

    Josey Wales, I'm calling you out old man :deal

    One month avatar bet says that Kessler wins and wins well.

    If theres 4 or less points in it (on average for all 3 judges)then you win. Howzaaat?! :hey
