That was pretty much the fight but Froch ran into a punch that had him woozey for a brief moment with his back on the ropes.
Fair enough. I know it's styles make fights and all that, but I can't believe no one is questioning how fragile Kessler might be against Froch. I thought he looked off in his come back fight and I was all over Ward to beat him. Kessler took a beating and looked way down on confidence. I can't think of a worse match up than having to step in with Froch after getting owned the way he did last fight. Froch is a flawed fighter technically, but he is all heart and can wack...something Kessler doesn't need. He wont have to go looking for Kessler which he will welcome. This is the wrong fight to have blind faith in Kessler. I'l be very surprised if Mikkel hears the final bell.
I had no idea Ward was "THAT" good.....I think Kess will bounce back the same way as he did after the JC schooling.
He bounced back after Calzaghe? like fight one top ten ranked fighter who belted the tripe out of him? He hasn't bounced back at all...he's looked worse than ever after JC.
Imo Froch is made for Kessler after Ward schooled him. Froch's defense is his face and Kessler is just as much a warrior as Froch is. He is a viking warrior for ****s sake.
I've never thought Kessler was that unbeatable from the begining but Froch is made for him. Kessler should cleanly destroy him with a KO or at worst a wide pts win. Froch has a chance cause of his willingness to get in and get dirty but I dont think he will.
He beat Sartisin {now WBA 168 title holder} and Hausser....2 dangerous contenders who were unbeaten at the time......not unlike Dirrell and Ward....but now we know how good Ward is. Kessler will stop Froch after a huge beat down.
I would have picked something similar to that if the ice cool Dane hadn't melted. I've got Kessler pegged as a mental wreck and Froch will pick up on it. I really think he is going to cop a hiding from big Carl.
To be fair he was cut to ****, he didn't quit even if he looked like he wanted to. One of the british pundits has suggested froch is not the confident champ he makes out.
Ward was just way to slick for Kessler who had no answer at all. Froch certainly wouldn't have done any better against Ward. I see Kessler landing big right hands all night against Froch.
Well its official...its Pavlik v Martinez for the 17th of April atschatschatsch Anyway...its a great fight......Mundine missed out. Martinez v Pavlik was the better fight :good
