After tonight I think it will be a tough night for Abraham. On the other side, AA does have explosive power. Froch probably want to get AA out early because I think AAs chances increase the longer the fight. Where Kessler is a boxer who can brawl - these two are unlikely to box much. They imo will surely make a fight that is unlikely to go the 12 rounds. What do you think?
Several months ago I thought AA for sure, but even in a loss Froch is having me scratch my head on it.
AA by decision. Froch will take some close rounds but AA will land harder shots and take more rounds. And like tonights fight, it will be exciting in the end.
Abraham by KO. I don't see any other outcome. Kessler hasn't the kind of power in his punches like AA has. Froch is much stiffer, slower than Dirrell. There's no way he can do a "Dirrell" to Abraham.
I'm in the same boat. Kessler's work rate and pressure seemed to bother Froch some. Abraham will be more than happy to slow dance with him. After tonight I'm not nearly as certain of a AA KO as I was. I'd have to check out reach, but I think Froch has more and this would give AA some trouble and AA's seemed to connect on Dirrell a few times to no avail..... :think
