It's not even funny how much Mikkel Kessler will batter Carl Froch

[Shattered Jaw]

Froch's defence is pretty good I think.

Sure, he takes bombs every now and again but it's not big deal - water off a ducks back and all that.

Kessler was shown something very, very different in the Calzaghe fight (not saying Froch fights like Calzaghe) and he didn't like it at all.

Now, if there was one word/description that you could connect Calzaghe and Froch with - it's being unique/unorthodox.

I believe Froch won't actually get hit all that much compared to what people are predicting. I really think he has been working on his defense a lot. Considering the unreal speed of Dirrell he really was doing a good job of parrying, blocking and ducking shots.

We all know Kessler is not as fast as Dirrell. I'm sure he hits hard but to sit down on those shots he will be Froch's range as well and when the bombs come back and Kessler moves away - Froch will be on him like an animal.

Froch KO in 11.

[Chunk..]

Kessler's hardly a world beater himself!

KESS, this fight is gonna look like Kessler-Andrade, except Froch cannot roll and take shots like Andrade.

That's what I'm thinking.

Kessler is gonna dominate him.

Carl Froch is a dead man walking!

Most probably,but you never know. People have been getting ******ly carried away with this **** over the last 2 days. Froch fought a horrible fight,big f.ucking deal. His last two fights were exciting as hell.

Different style match up, so who knows? The form book would obviously be with Kessler,but he hasnt really had much ring time since losing to Calzaghe. We will see.

[JM1]

froch doesnt have what it takes to win the tourney. kess must be grinning now

Froch could have knocked Dirrell out if it wasn't for all Dirrell's running.

Dirrell couldn't go toe to toe with Froch, that is not his gameplan. Dirrell plan was to outbox Froch and he did that with ease and robbed. That said, Dirrell should have KO Froch had he been more aggressive

Maybe,but Maybe Dirrell could have ko'd Froch if he didnt run away all night. When he stopped and actually stood and punched he looked alright. Kessler Froch will be a much better fight.

Look,you may be new to boxing,but it is actually possible to outbox someone without running away. He gets no credit for coming to someones hometown and running away all night. You are supposed to take a title from a champion,not grab it and run away.

You can outbox someone by keeping it in center ring and circling and using lateral movement. What dirrell tried to pull was nothing short of a disgrace. I had Dirrell winning the fight by a point,but I am so glad he didnt get the decision. 'fighting' like that does boxing no favours whatsoever.
