On the whole, all the Americans pick Kessler to win, and all the Brits pick Froch to win. The Brits want the Brit to win, the Americans want the Brit to lose. Nothing strage there.
This is a close fight, but Froch will win. He has too much heart, too much will, too much determination, and too much strength to lose to Kessler.
The one that stuck out to me on that list was Frank Warren, he picked Froch.
The only British fighters he backs to win are in his own stable, so either he wants to sign him, or he wants Kessler to lose to piss Calzaghe of.
Yeah, he usually slags Froch of, but i think it's defo to tarnish Calzaghe's resume, even though he's responsible for it.

if froch can be decked by taylor and hurt by dirrell then imagine what kess is going to do to him. i think this fight is entirely dependant on kess. we know what froch will bring to the table lots of power, a good chin and an attacking style.
imo we will know how this fight is going to end by looking at kess in the first few rounds. if he looks as though he has put the ward loss behind him and he starts well then kess should be fine and i think he'll get the KO. if he looks tentative and slightly anxious then i think it may go the cards or froch may batter the dane.
you know i actually had a dream about this fight it went like this. it was quite early in the fight (2nd rnd) kess was hammering away at froch and froch was lying on the ropes his face a swollen bleeding mess, then out of nowhere froch landed a wild swinging punch and kess went down. it might have landed on the back of the head but kess didn't recover adn froch took the win and 3 points.
I hope the best Kessler shows up so you boy's have no excuses.I don't care what Kessler show's up he is not beating Froch.Froch is going to stick that jab into the mouth of Kessler walk him back.Oh he will get rough with him can't wait for this fight.
Lol @ everyone but Allan Green who picked Froch being British.
I'm not British and I have e-points and real money on this fight for Froch.Froch knows how to win.I don't believe Kessie can make Froch learn how to loses I just don't see it.

Bute picked Kessler because he thinks it will go to the cards, Kessler's got the hometown advantage.
He did break-down both fighters strongpoints, and their reasons how they can win. He says Froch isn't technically brilliant, but has the most will,a nd is mentally the strongest in the tournament. Lucian's a good man.
it's really a difficult one to pick......a true toss up.
I think Carl is more durable and mentally strong...but Kessler may have the edge in technical ability as Bute has mentioned.
Anyway...........

Well, see, I am a nice guy. I help the mentally ill readjust to society.
Since that super fan roots for two teams in the same division, he's clearly a half a bubble off.
It's like I will be his chaperone.... he he he.
Let me guess.....the Fudge Packers and the Vikings?

Carl Froch
Allan Green and Froch are actually mean't to be good friends.
Froch becasue of his power and relentless style
If Kessler wins, Denmark won't know what to do.
They might reclaim Norway, then Sweden, next stop United Kingdom.
I think this fight is gonna be a cracker if Kessler isn't shopworn.
And you will be there to witness all the mayhem, with the #1 Brett Favre Super Fan.
Froch.
I like Buncey but he is a big-time homer. He tried to convince people that Gary Lockett was going to beat Pavlik
:lol1: I knew he'd pick Froch, my post wasn't meant to be serious.
They didn't ask Bunce? I'm curious to see who he thinks will win. :(
