I made a thread few moments ago and it dissapered, so we will go again:goodI called Froch somthing from the past, my bad!
This is a good fight Either way it is going to be a FOTY candidate. 2008: Froch vs Pascal 2009: Froch vs Taylor 2010: Froch vs Kessler???? 2011: Froch vs Ward?????
If you actually sat thru the Taylor fight, you wouldnt think it was a FOTY candidate, it was a horrible boring fight, infront of a boring crowd, that lit up in the final 2 mins.
Just read on Boxrec who the judges and ref will be.:nut that means no way Froch can win this on points. Sauerland must be far away from being convinced in Kessler. However if Kessler come in a shape any close to his pre-Calzaghe shape he will dominate Froch.
878 AD - Alfred the Great drives the vikings out of Wessex. 1066 AD - Harold II crushes the last major viking invasion of England at Stamford Bridge. 2010 AD - The long overdue English counter offensive, led by Carl 'the Cobra' Froch, strikes right to the heart of Denmark. Much pillaging ensues.
Right up until the last week I've struggled to see how Froch can lose this. Kessler has had a torrid couple of years since he lost to Calzaghe. Injuries and legal battles outside the ring, and a humbling defeat to Ward in his last fight did leave me thinking he was over the hill. I've been thinking for a while that Froch will win this, and retire Kessler with a KO win. However........... This last week I've started to change opinion. There are murmurs of Froch carrying injuries, and just listening to the things coming out his camp, and seeing his body language, well..... I'm starting to think Kessler actually may well win this. By all accounts he's looking superb in training, certainly has looked the more confident in the press conferences and with general body language. As with all the Super VI fights so far, it's difficult to predict. If Kessler has indeed came through a good training camp, and is mentally anything near the same fighter that stepped into the ring with Calzaghe a couple of years back (no doubt physically he still is in peak condition), he will win, and win comfortable. But.... Is Kessler shot? Will his new trainer of revitalised him? Has he excorsised the ghosts of the Ward and Calzaghe fights? The answer to these questions, for me, really hold the key to who will win this. My prediction for the fight is a scrappy opening half, with neither fighter really getting on top, Kessler will start to find his target (Froch has never been hard to miss) and start to gather some confidence in the latter rounds and rally to a narrow, but unanimous decision win. Wouldn't be shocked in the slightest to see it go a completely different way from that though. It's a tough one to predict without knowing the answers to questions about Kessler.
