Kessler Vs Froch, The Cobra Vs The Viking Warrior, Who Takes it??

[Freedom.]

It could go either way, but I think Kessler will probably win by close decision.

It's gonna be a tough fight regardless. Kessler is in for one long night and better prepare for a brawl.

They beat Kessler because they were able to frustrate him, Ward did it from the start and Calzaghe did it when he realised he couldnt outbox him. I don't think Froch has the ability to do that.

He may have a good jab, but Kessler's is one the best, its practically a power punch. Totally agree that he will have to show some grit to beat Froch, but I think he's easily capable of it, he's extremely tough. I just can't see Froch winning this fight, especially in Denmark.

Good post.

Kessler's jab is fantastic. But I just have doubts about his ability to overcome adversity. I hope he can. I much prefer him to Froch.

I don't see any way Froch wins this fight. When you break them down by skill, Kessler has all of the advantages. I think Froch lost his last fight and things aren't going to get easier with Kessler.They will get harder. Froch does not have the style to beat Kessler and his borrowed time is just about up.

Throwing him to the ground a few times like he did against Dirrell etc could mess him up.

Kessler KO/TKO.....froch will get wasted...

[The_Demon]

if kessler is half the fighter he once was he will KO froch within 8
frochs style is tailor made for him,he will leap in and his chin will be set up for that big right counter kessler loves to throw

[Motofan]

Froch gets stopped in 11 on his feet. He will have no idea where he is.

[The Weebler II]

would be cool if Froch could win but I think a Kessler victory is inevitable
