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

[Bushbaby]

I think Froch will knock Kessler out around the 10th round. Kessler is a good fighter but he is a sucker for a looping right. I know he has an excellent chin but Froch has got this one.

I think Froch does better against fighters who don't move around as much & don't posses blinding speed!!Dirrel would give the other Europeans problems too,not because he's better,but because of how he fights!!I'm not saying he wins,but it can get fustrating chasing a roadrunner all night!!I think fighters who box conventionally are a better match for Froch's style!!

I know Froch possibly possesses the least skill of all the super-six contenders, but everybody seems to write him off after every fight, even though his competition has stepped up in his last 3 fights quite considerably compared to previous bouts.

It is hard to look good against a man on his track shoes for the whole fight, and i can guarantee that no-one in this competition will look good against Dirrell. He may even beat Abraham, although i favour Arthur in this bout.

Kessler should destroy Froch, because he is better in every single department compared to Carl. In my opinion he has a better chin and a better punch then Carl. Froch may have more power, but Kessler has more precision and speed, which gives a better execution.

Kessler has had quite an inactive few years since the Calzaghe bout, but we shall see against Ward if he really is head and shoulders above the other top contenders in the tourny. Ward will be no pushover. I see Kessler winning by decision, but he will have to be pretty dominant in Ward's yard.

As for Kessler/Froch, i see a Kessler stoppage in 10, as Froch will never learn to utilise a defense. Either that or he will punish Carl over 12 rounds. I don't really see Carl having a chance in this fight, as much as i will like to proven wrong, as i am a huge Froch fan and have been from the beginning. I think Froch has over-exceeded his limitation, and it has been great to see a local lad do so well on the world scene, but with Kessler next and Arthur after, all does not look too good for the future.

Froch has got that warrior mentality, but boxing skills none and speed is non-existent

[THE REED]

Kessler will stop Froch inside 8. No way, you can beat Kessler with your hand down.

I am pretty sure Joe already did..

[THE REED]

Froch is no Joe though... Ive got Kessler in this one for sure.

I think frochs defence has improved quite a bit since the taylor fight but he got kinda sloppy in the last few rounds.

I think the Dirrell fight would have seen a more clear outcome if Froch had adjusted to Dirrells gameplan. If Carl had used a better defense, and led with his jab and not give chase, i'm sure he could have stopped Dirrell. Can you imagine if he made Dirrell come forward instead? Dirrell's speed would have caused Froch more havoc, but Dirrell was scared of getting rocked, i'm sure if Froch connected well, he could have cause more problems.

Froch needs to leard to adapt to other fighters strategy. Look at the Pascal fight. In the mid rounds, he led with the jab and used a defense. He dominated them mid rounds. Then towards the end he did his usual thing and dropped his hands for an explsove ending.
