    The problem is the style-wise matchup. Froch leaves himself wide open after he swings those ridiculously inaccurate hands while Kessler is hiding behind a solid guard and hits very precice, rock-hard punches with high effectiveness while not exposing himself much.

    If Froch wants to win he has to try nail Kessler early with a huge series, possibly stun him and go for a TKO. Not impossible but unlikely.

    Five. This will be a proper fight. Kessler won't turn it into a gloved version of playground 'tag'.

    Crotch has about the same chance as I do against Kessler.

    Your right. Kessler will turn it into a gloved version of the firing squad.

    Kessler will come to fight.

    60:40 Kessler.

    Should be a belter.

    I think they'll meet more than once during this tournament.

    3 - Puncher's changes, but Kessler's a beast that CAN box.
