    Froch has really improved his jab throughout his career.

    it's not the most fluid or snappy, but he throws it heavily from a lot of awkward angles and with good timing.Add in his range and if you stand in front of him it's a good punch.

    Kessler can still win if he can somehow channel Kalule's upperbody movement though.

    good point. and I like what the commentators noted: froch looks so much rangier than Kessler despite almost being the same size. he knows how to use his height and his style allows him to fight longer and more awkward

    Peach of a right by Kessler.

    He looks like he's shaking off the rust and warming up here at least.Could be a fight yet.

    really digging ward's commentary as usual. instead of bullshitting and overanalyzing, he keeps things simple.

    tough round to score. leading towards froch because of the last minute but Kessler controlled the first 2

    Great round.Froch is so good at just punching right back even after being tagged hard or knocked off balance.

    My eyesight is going to be ruined by the end of this though.

    Froch's ability and willingness to let the right hand go has been a big factor so far.

    as has Kessler's reactions to it. he's shaken every single time it lands

    I have two swing rounds so far: 7 and 9. I scored them both for Froch but they COULD have been kessler's

    What a burst of punches from Kessler there.
