Comments Thread For: Froch on Kessler Rematch: It's Going To Be a War Again

Froch has gotten better and better since the first fight, against A-level opponents. The combination of his boxing IQ and his physical conditioning is probably the best it's been at any point in his career.
I believe it when he says he feels like he's in his physical prime.

I thought Froch gave Ward a tougher go of it than Kessler did.
And we can argue about whether or not the guys he has fought are technically A-level....but surely you must agree that they were more elite and more of a test than Kessler's opponents during that same time span?

Despite his brilliance, Andre Ward just doesn't generate the same sort of excitement that these two do. This is a mega fight.

Absolutely. Froch has fought better opponents in the same time span, but they weren't great. Neither was Kessler's. So I see it as a 50/50 fight all the way. Slightly in favour of froch because of the venue, but Kessler is a better boxer IMO and if he shows up and boxes, he can win.

Remember though, that Ward beat Froch handily despite a broken hand which really leaves no room for optimism for Froch fans for a reversal of fortunes in a return fight. And the scoring in that fight was closer than they should have been.
