    Kessler is a skilled boxer-puncher who doesn't run and throws a lot of leather when he can. Froch on the other hand is not as skilled, but has a strong chin and a lot of power to compensate. He doesn't avoid the exchanges either. Kessler wants to prove that he is not written off after his loss to Ward and Froch probably wants to set the record straight after a close decision win against Dirrel. I think this one could be explosive. :bbb

    Agreed. Can't wait.

    I'm Staying neutral on this one. Froch is a local boy, but Kessler is my favorite fighter.

    Yep.

    Although, it may be one of the few. None of the others have been particularly exciting so far.

    Well it really depends on what Kessler has left in the tank. I hope that his change of trainers has had a positive impact on him.

    My take on this fight changed radically with the Kessler/Ward fight. Kessler was bloody awful. Now, I'm not so sure he can beat Froch. Very intriguing fight.

    Yeah, I think it will be a pretty good tear up, with a lot missed punches when both think they have an advantage. I hope to see a vastly improved Kessler but will probably skip the forum for a few days after the fight due to the anti Froch bull**** some people will spout.

    IT has the potential of being 1 of the best fights of the tourney.. If Kessler loses, it could be mentally devastatng 4 his career.

    Kessler will bounce back strong and beat Froch, IMO. But if I'm wrong and Carl pulls it off, I'll be impressed.

    Definitely looking forward to this one.

    yep, that's gonna be the most exciting matchup so far... 2 guys who really want to fight and both having a lot to prove,and Kessler can't affort to lose.
    I think Froch will be and look much better against a guy who isn't afraid of him and Kessler is much better than he showed against Ward, and although Froch isn't exactly the worlds cleanest fighter I think it won't be a faulfest either like Kessler-Ward.

    Bring it on! :bbb

    i will slightly favour kessler on this one and it probably will be the fight of the tournament, as bad as kessler looked against ward froch looked a lot worse against dirrell even though he got the win

    kelsser should do ok and beat froch, he did what he could against ward but ward is all wrong for him.you know euro's having problems with the slick fighters they always ahave and will.they could fight a 100 times and the results would be the same at least 99 times.

    now if kessler gets in a shoot out with the cobra then it wil be a long night.kelsser is not a big puncher like froch he is a decent puncher.he wil have to outbox froch for the whole fight, if they stay trading then you might see kelsser on his ass.this dont mean he is passed his prime or a bad night, he is just simply geting beat by better fighters then him.ward was on the them and if he dont fight the right fight froch will be next.

    its best at mw folks not the backyard brawls alot of the euo fighters are use to winning.i like the tourny because all bs a side it shows and proves who are really the best and who are blown up.some guys are the best in the world and some are the best in there counrty or terriorty.better bring ya A game.i think an american or arhur will win it.

    It SHOULD be great but most of the fights have been a bit anticlimactic so far so I'll wait and see

    I keep seeing it unfold as a one sided fight for Froch. Doesnt seem logical, but after seeing Kessler against Ward, I think Froch is going to be a bad style match up for Kessler

    For different reasons obviously, Ward and Froch are completely different fighters

    Froch is going to force Kessler to fight, and Kessler isnt very adaptable. He'll either have to exchange or he will be uncomfortable very fast. Froch is physically and mentally stronger than he is.
