Kessler's trainer: Mikkel would have to break an arm to lose the tournament.

I've got Froch.

After the Taylor fight, I think Froch will be ready from the opening bell from now on. He almost lost against Taylor because of a slow start, I doubt he will make the same mistake again.

he had a slow start cause taylor was boxing his face off and has blinding hand speed(compared to froch at least) the only reason it got closer is cause taylor has no stamina so he caught up

Excuse my ignorance, but who is Shilstone and why'a he important?

mackie shilstone is a fitness trainer who applies his knowledge to a variety of sports, but mainly boxing. he got famous for helping michael spinks move up to HW to fight larry holmes, adding muscles and strenght while maintaining speed. as of late he has been very popular, roy used him to fight ruiz, BHop used him to fight tarver. now dibella wants to have him work with taylor, improve his eating habits and ofcourse lay out a training program, focusing on stamina rather than maintaning speed when moving up in weight.

That's great news. Where did you hear this man?

[BattlingNelson]

He conditioned Jones for Ruiz and Hopkins for Tarver, in their weight gaining fights.

I don't think Taylor can handle this mentally tbh. It's not his skills that are the problem.

For someone who has lost 3 of his last 4 bouts this has to seem like a daunting task. On top of that it's been a long time since Taylor stopped someone so he will be on the short end of any tie-breaking points system that may come into play.

I believe Froch had a slow start. And the fight was a lot closer than people think. After the 7th round it was mostly Froch.
