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

[Shadows]

i'm not talking about those skillsets, i'm talking about the hold-n-hit and headbutting.

Well, Froch IMO doesn't know how to clinch, so that eliminates the potshotting and hugging.

Headbutting? I thought Ward's butts were unintentional, or at least most of them were. Froch won't get away with butting because he won't be fighting on the inside like Ward. So if he does butt him, it'll be blatantly obvious.

No on both accounts. Ward pulled some really veteran, old school tricks last night. Froch doesn't know how to pull them off IMO.

froch doesn't have speed or a great jab, true that, but if froch fouls kessler I think it could throw kessler off his rhythym allowing froch to set up his offense.


ward shut out kessler easy, kessler was calz's toughest fight at 168 lbs... what are you on about?

When Calzaghe beat him he had never been beat...and forgive me if i am wrong but didnt calzaghe UD kessler ??? and without headbuts !

[Blue Heffner]

Froch is a zombie in the ring!

[patpatpts]

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.

that meth got you hallucinating pullcounter j/k froch he don't have the speed , the footwork, inside fighting, the jab or spoil tatics to disrupt kessler rhythm to follow the blueprint ward set

[Joe2608]

Froch is going to come in and try and pressure Kessler throwing big punches all night. That's what he does in every fight. I don't think he can take anything from the Ward fight apart from that Kessler fights worse going backwards.

i'm not talking about those skillsets, I'm talking about the dirty tactics... froch proved to be good at it against dirrell.

froch was pretty good at rough-housing against dirrell. he may not be as good as ward at it, but he can try and outmuscle kessler

ok i see but i still give him little chance to succeed kessler can knock him out his chin is decent at best. he will get with 1- 2 trying to come in or so i believe

[boxasmash]

Ahem, Ward's blueprint? Calzaghe invented it!

[ShatteredGlass]

Nah, if Froch tries to use his skills, that conssts of fairly good use of distance, a resaonable jab and slightly awkward stance, which Kessler will be able to handle, Froch needs to get in, stay close to kessler and, i'm sorry to say it but fight dirty, rough him up a bit, because quite frankly the viking warrior was getting beat up by ward who is not as rough and strong as Froch.

[bojangles1987]

Froch is completely incapable of in any way possible fighting like Ward did. He will stumble forward like a moron and hope to land big punches like he always does.
