i see some noobs on here say froch won the fight? wtf? kessler destroyed froch to the body and backed him up the whole fight
how can you expect to win in opponents back yard like that if the fight is close (which it wasnt)
it was a comprehensive win for kessler
First fight could have gone either way, I had it 115-113 Froch.
I expect another great fight, but Froch has made improvements since the first fight and fought legit guys while Mikkel hasn't fought any good opponents and has been dropped hard...Froch by decision.
Kessler did win the first fight but this second fight Froch will win. Like assassin said froch has been fighting the best and improving since that first fight and kessler hasn't fought anyone world class since then. And this time Froch will have home country advantage.
Also as an opinion I don't think froch was at his best in the first fight anyway and kessler looked really fired up after losing to ward.
hes a hard working, young guy and hes got a good team around him which means he will have learned from that fight and improved.
besides, cloud couldnt handle campillos height, reach, workrate and long southpaw jab. none of which hopkins brings to the table.
meanwhile cloud brings the worst possible style for hopkins to fight at this point in his career, hes a very strong and durable pressure fighter who cuts the ring off well. he is fundamentally sound, throws short punches, has good versatility, throws great combinations and works the body a lot. on top of all that hes very tough and mentally strong, it will be hard to get in his head.
its hard to see hopkins having the fire power to make cloud take a step back or the legs to stay on the move for 12 rounds. if he cant keep cloud off him he will get worn down quickly, cloud throws bombs. cloud is very underrated, ppl put to much into his loss to campillo when in reality it made him a better fighter. besides styles make fights.
ofcourse i score bodyshots and kessler landed plenty off them, im not disputing that.
calling cloud a bum proves who the real "noob" is and using the word "noob" in the first place shows you are a child as well.
i didnt even pick cloud, i said its a dangerous fight for hopkins and it was. he did his thing though.
it was the easiest possible fight imaginable for hopkins, cloud is and was a bum. mentally strong? lol
your opinions now mean nothing, dont reply to this thread anymore boy
so u dont score body shots?
= boxing noob
you picked cloud/bum to beat hopkins too

i thought froch won. backing someone up doesnt count for all that much, who controls the ring is more important and that was froch for the most part. he landed the better shots too imo. it was close but i gave it to froch.
regardless of who deserved the decision the first time froch will destory him this time around. hes been fighting the best since their first fight learning and improving each time out. in the meantime kessler has been hiding out in denmark fighting scrubs making no improvements at all.
froch in 8.
