Ring Mag picks Froch to beat Kessler

good post :good

 

Kessler still got it, he might wash froch up.

 

Kessler by wide UD.

 

Froch is an ideal opponent for Kessler to regain his sharpness and timing, i just hope hes prepared for the war Froch will give in return

 

I think Froch can win this, but is an underdog IMO. Kessler hits harder than Taylor/Dirrell and could cause real problems for Froch's non-existing defence. Maybe because of the nationality bias, but Froch has heart and i think this is what will win the fight for him.. if he keeps fighting and lands on Kessler he will take the fight. The AW fight made me question how good Kessler is under pressure.

 

No Froch luck is running out. He managed somehow to win his last two matches but willpower is not always enough. He's getting TKO in this match for me

 

i've got a feeling that froch is gonna prove everyone wrong again.

 

If Kessler loses this one, then I think the game is up for him, I am not saying this because I automatically think two loses = game over, but because, lets face it Froch is made for Kessler. I mean I cannot see Froch KO'ing Kessler unless he is shot, while I also believe that there should be no circumstance where Froch should be able to outbox Kessler.

To be honest, I still think Kessler can win this thing. When watching the Ward fight, I do admit that Kessler lost the fight, however he seemed to be extremely ring rusty and he did have to eat some tasty headbutts. Although, like I said if Kessler loses this one, or wins looking bad, I will take this back, and say he should either hang them up (at top level at least) or that he has no chance to win this thing.

 

I pick Froch to beat Kessler as well.

 

even though I like Froch as a fighter, sometimes it's just hard to pick the guy when his style looks for friggin ugly. Personally I think it's speed that Kessler couldn't handle in Ward and maybe Calzaghe, since Froch isn't fast at all I'll still go with Kessler on this one.

 

Froch by late stoppage, expect Kessler to dominate the early rounds with his better skills, but think Froch will break his heart, keep coming forward and look to open up those cuts. Certainly hope so after the money Ive spent on this fight.

Def dont see Froch being stopped.

 

polls are pretty even except for Froch by decision

 

i have froch by ud, possibly ko if kessler gets desperate

 

my opinion stays the same before and after the ward fight.

Kessler UD
