An interesting bout. Both men fight a lot a like. I think that Froch might be a little quicker. I favored Ward over Kessler but I am suprised how much he was dominated. Not sure who wins this one.
This is going to be the most exciting bout of the tournament two of the best punchers who throw a lot and throw jabs and crosses and only go forward
If Kessler is mentally ready for the fight I see him winning a relative convincing victory ... if not Froch will stop him...
kessler will ko froch, the only way i see froch winning is if he does the double body slam, and not the single one he did with dirrell. the only thing that will be a problem is kesslers cuts they look pretty bad.
Kessler by devastating KO... he will do what Taylor did.. but Kessler will finish the job.. Froch is a decent boxer.. but hes not a world stage champion.. hes been very lucky to get this far but his downfall is about to begin.
I anticipate a lot of ugly inside fighting from Froch, roughing up Kessler and wearing him down. The blueprint has been layed, Froch's team just needs to follow it. Kessler has huge problems with his training, he cant fight inside. he cant handle inside pressure. Froch should be able to exploit it and KO Kessler.
after getting schooled by Ward it definitely makes this fight more interesting, if Kessler is not totally broken he should stop Froch
Their is no way on earth Froch is faster than Kessler. I think, unfortunetly for Froch, this is a terrible match up style wise. Im obviously bias as i'm a Kessler fan, but Kessler does everything better than Froch (apart from inside fighting :nut). They both like to fight, which Kessler will get the better hand in due to his speed, straighter punching, combinations, power and Froch's lack of head movement. Also, when Froch gets in a fight he tends to run straight with terrible form. I don't usually predict fights, but im going Kessler KO10 or Kessler UD.
Not sure Froch will KO Kessler, but I mostly agree with this, and I also think that Kessler will even have trouble with Froch on the outside as well. Froch isn't Andrade.
I think Kessler may win a close UD, however wouldnt be surprised if Froch won. I dont think Kessler will KO Froch, Froch has a solid enough chin. Kessler would have lost alot of confidence after his last performance and Froch has shown in his last two fights, that he is very capable of just doing enough.
