    Decent fight, Magee should cause Kessler problems but he'll get stopped down the stretch.

    It wouldn't be a unification fight as Ward holds the WBA belt.

    I think Magee will test Kessler for a while before the Dane pulls a stoppage in the later rounds.

    Kessler looked shot to me against Green, don't see much point in a Froch return in all honesty, money aside.

    Think Kessler will win it but it will be a decent enough fight. Am starting to think a Kessler v froch rematch isn't going to happen though.

    Cannot judge distance anymore, Green hurting him just confirmed he was shot unfortunately.

    I think this will be a pretty darn good fight. Something is saying to me don't rule out McGee.
    Though my money will probably go on a kessler stoppage around round 9.
    Then i think a payday all round for Froch n kessler before retirement beckons.

    Yep.... thinking back to the first Froch fight now.

    I know Carl isn't all that good an inside fighter, in fact he's pretty awful, but I'd reckoned that Kessler would outbox him for a few rounds and perhaps get shot of him late.

    Didn't expect Kessler to take the fight to him and out-do him in a war, it's just not his 'natural' way.

    Kessler has always been a bit vulnerable to being caught when retreating, but he moves away slower than before and catches the end of the shots.

    I think for a while he'll be able to beat a certain level of fighter, he's still a good all round fighter and punches hard.... but I think Froch would hammer him if they fought again.

    Not wanting to go overboard just because Carl shredded Bute, just looking at the direction that both have taken since their first fight.

    It was a very good fight, don't spoil it with a one sided whipping of a rematch for the sake of having one.
