I don't see how Kessler is gonna lose this one, I really think Froch ain't gonna last 10 rounds. If Froch somehow beats him then I'll become a believer, but really I don't see how, he is Tailor made for Kessler, slow, flatfooted, overrated power and no defense.
Because kessler has fought nobody ? the best fighter he ever faced calzaghe was feather fisted ? other than his loss to calzaghe there's really nothing at all just an empty void. Froch isn't a big puncher but he has decent power and i believe it's more than what kessler has.
:good But to be fair, Kessler doesn't get hit as much as Froch so we can't really be sure. I also don't think froch hits harder than Kessler.
Froch is a big super middle ward is like a blown up middleweight and destroyed kessler I think kessler is in for a rude awakening. Kessler has been wobbled in the past by much lesser opponents than froch. Need to remember that taylor is a slick boxer and took away the power by rolling a lot of froch's punches and dirrell more or less ran and hugged when you put froch in with someone he can land on at will he is licking his lips at that prospect and will be supremely confident of a ko victory.
You can say whatever you want about Ward being a blown up MW or whatever, but you can't deny that he's MUCH more skilled than Froch.
He is much more skilled. I tell you what it is froch put everything he has in to every punch he hits heavy may not be a instant ko power but it's accumulative. I just cant see any way that kessler can beat him froch will keep him at bay with the stiff jab and longer reach and unload with the bombs when he chooses to.
Froch has a big chance to win against Kessler but he will have no chance after against King Arthur Abraham. Abraham will eat Froch alive. Abraham is much more talented, stronger, better chin, better defense and hits harder than Froch. No doubt that Abraham will destroy the chicken Dirrell with a stunning KO as well.
I think Kessler is over-rated and Froch will drag him into a rough fight, Kessler will get demoralised watching his shots bounce of Frochs chin, the difference is Frochs shots will be having an lasting effect, late stoppage for Froch.
I can't believe the haters Carl Froch gets. Yes the guy is limited technically and yes sooner or later someone will catch up with him but the guy is one tough SOB. The guy became a world champion a little over a year ago in a classic war with now arguably a top 3 LHW in Pascal and then his first 3 defences have been against Taylor, Dirrell and Kessler, 2 of these fights in the other fighters back yard. The guy has guts if nothing else.
Kessler's conditioning has been superb in everyone of his fights. He wasn't looking good in the Perdomo or Ward fight, but his conditioning wasn't a problem at all. He was never gassing.
That's the silliest thing I have ever heard... Kessler wasn't quitting in the Ward fight even when asked to by his trainer even though he couldn't see a damn thing because of the cuts.
