    Can froch take Ward's blueprint and beat Kessler????

    if froch stands toe to toe w/ kessler, I think he gets KOed because he's way too slow.

    but if froch takes ward's blueprint and fights dirty to throw kessler off his game, I think froch has a chance to beat kessler.

    discuss, comment.

    Unless Froch is the strongest man alive and 1 punch will knockout Kessler I doubt that he will win.

    Gonna be one hell of a match, those two styles suit eachother.

        he could'nt even get dirty, kessler will see that empty head coming towards him in slow-mo(the speed at which froch fights at)

          Froch's skills are grossly underrated on here.

          He has underrated speed, timing, footwork and defense.

          I think he k.o's Kessler if he fights his usual way.

            Froch could use his dirty tactics to throw Kessler off and Froch's power is good so he has a chance.

            I do think that Froch is too slow and easy to hit for Kessler.

            Froch's style is nothing like Ward's.

              Roughing Kessler up is his only chance IMO. He sure as hell can't use the same style as Ward (movement, quick jab, fast hands, etc) because he doesn't have the boxing skill.

              Kessler will have a tough time putting Froch away though.

                every one who is saying ward won by dirty tactics are probably the same people that defend ricky hatton by saying hes a 4 time champ in 2 divisions that beat tszyu when people say he is a bum.

                  no way. it is not in froch to do what ward did. froch doesnt have the speed, agility and just overall skillset to pull of what ward did last night. i think froch will land some good shots on kessler but will be caught leeping in with his chin in the air like he always does and will ultimately stopped. kessler catches froch with a nasty uppercut and finishes him off around the 7th round

                    ward and calz have managed to have success against kess because they are the few number of fighters who are actually quicker than him and it was their flurrying and handspeed that made it hard for kess to counter and forced him to back up.

                    now froch is not capable of executing the same game plan because he doesn't have the physical tools that calz and ward have.

                    however if he uses his long jab to good effect, tries to work mikkels body early on and roughs up kess on the inside then he has a chance. if though he attempts to stand and trade then the slower, less powerful and arguably more chinnier fight is going to get KTFO.
